American capital set to profit immensely from illegal actions in Venezuela

The Socialist Bulletin Staff - 6/1/2026

CAPITAL interests are set to profit hugely from the illegal kidnapping of President Maduro from Venezuela, as the Trump-led regime in the United States insists that this kidnapping was done almost exclusively for the purpose of oil extraction, which the United States says the workers in Venezuela are doing too slowly.

When they opened on Monday local time, American oil markets rose in value drastically, with the market as a whole briefly reaching an all-time high.

This comes as the incoming privatisation of Venezuelan oil assets, set to benefit US companies hugely at the expense of the Venezuelan people, looms over the nation.

One individual, probably an insider trader of some description, has already profited over half a million dollars (US), after they put over US$50,000 into prediction markets predicting the fall of Maduro, just days before the illegal action.

Australian markets have also climbed, as capitalists champ at the bit to exploit another country's resources in a move reminiscent of colonisation in history.

This is the real motivation for removing Maduro, not any false accusation of 'narcoterrorism', a term the United States has poorly used to smear Maduro, despite a lack of evidence.

Any and all actions taken by the United States can be analysed through the lens of ensuring profit for the already super-rich, who are the ones that truly control that regime.
