The US support for regime change is certainly about oil/socialism/anti-american rhetoric, but I don't think that discounts the fact that a lot of Venezuelans are pissed off about the state of the country. They have major economic problems and serious political oppression, and the guardian is blowing that off in the article.

Also "$5 million dollars funding opposition activities" being the tip of the iceberg... give me a break. It's totally unsubstantiated guesswork - bad journalism.
