In this article, we discuss some aspects of the current Venezuelan migrations, also called Venezuelan diaspora, relating them to the crisis of capitalist social reproduction and the necropolitics engendered by it. To do so, we relate such migrations to the bursting of the bubble that characterized the end of the commodities boom and the 2008 global crisis, which resulted in a brutal deterioration of the living conditions of the population and the expansion of the armed management of social life in Venezuela; we advance a critical discussion on the limits of the distinction between forced and voluntary migrations; and we observe conflicting dimensions of the reception received by Venezuelans in Brazil, taking into account the management of populations and border policies. In addition to the bibliographical debate, the analysis of documents and journalistic reports, fieldwork conducted by the authors to Roraima in 2019 and 2020 also sustain our reflections.
