It is not the consciousness of men that determines their being, but, on the contrary, their social being that determines their consciousness.

Karl Marx (Marx Selected Works, Vol. I, p. 269.)

  • The Esequibo contains oil, that’s why it’s disputed. IIRC Venezuela’s claim over the Esequibo start because when there were attempts to establish La Patria Grande at the moment when La Gran Colombia still existed, the Esequibo was part of La Gran Colombia. This stance has been maintained after the dissolution of the former State and the formation of Venezuela, and supported also by legal claims such as the one posted before about the US first ruling in favour of them. Today, of course, there is no power that wants Venezuela to hold those lands.
