Toppled Statues to Toppled Republic?
Toppled Statues to Toppled Republic?
“When systems fall, so do statues,” noted the online Russia Beyond in 2012. It follows from this, then, that statues falling can portend systems falling. This brings us to a short viral video from a Venezuelan woman who warns: Don’t think “it” can’t happen here.
Elizabeth Rogliani, a Venezuelan actress living in the United States, has seen “it” — a left-wing revolution — before. “Why do I even worry about some silly little statues coming down or some silly little street names changing? Why do I care?” she asked rhetorically in her video, which was posted to the Internet in late June.
“It’s because the last time I didn’t care about this, I was a teenager,” she explained. “I have already lived through this thing, when I was living in Venezuela.”
