All over except for the knocking on doors in the middle of the night. From the New York Times:
Venezuela Muzzles Legislature, Moving Closer to One-Man Rule
Venezuela took its strongest step yet toward one-man rule under the leftist President Nicolás Maduro as his loyalists on the Supreme Court seized power from the National Assembly in a ruling late Wednesday night.
The ruling effectively dissolved the elected legislature, which is led by Mr. Maduro’s opponents, and allows the court to write laws itself, experts said.
The move caps a year in which the last vestiges of Venezuela’s democracy have been torn down, critics and regional leaders say, leaving what many now describe as not just an authoritarian regime, but an outright dictatorship.
Venezuela used to be the wealthiest nation in South America - they used to export food to their neighbors, they had such a surplus. Now? The end game of marxism and socialism.
