If we're coup-watching, the military has sided with the people: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23412986

That's usually a good sign. Is there any song in the US currently equivalent to "We Shall Overcome" or "Winds of Change" or "Перемен"?

Which part? The sanctions part or the hegemon part? Here is a list of US sanctions:

I love this part specifically: "Reasons cited for sanctions includes Venezuela's poor human rights record", pretty much for all of them.

And then let's look at US's involvements in Latin America:

Funnily enough, the CIA overthrew Iran's democratically elected government in 1953, only to sanction them when they are not willing to be US's pawns anymore.
