Trump now claiming that Maduro and his wife have been effectively kidnapped by US forces, and the Bolivarian government overthrown. What an obscene and despicable country is America. Anything short of the merciless demolition of its empire is unacceptable compromise.

The US government's military operation in the Caribbean is supposedly intended to target "narco-terrorists." In my latest article, I explore the history of the term to argue that "narco-terrorism" is mostly a myth— a "political slogan" which does not accurately describe the world. By focusing our attention on foreign suppliers, this myth distracts us from more important factors, including the US government's own history of supporting drug trafficking.

To say that “narco-terrorism” is a myth is not to deny the obvious violence associated with the black market drug trade, but to acknowledge that the term does more to confuse than to clarify. The idea does not accurately explain the complex dynamics of the global drug trade; instead, it radically oversimplifies the problem. By portraying military intervention as a response to drug trafficking, the “narco-terrorism” myth allows politicians to ignore all of the ways in which military intervention is a cause of drug trafficking... Perhaps the greatest flaw of “narco-terrorism” is that it encourages us to believe that complex human problems have simple military solutions. Sociologist C. Wright Mills once astutely criticized US elites for accepting a “military definition of reality,” a distorted perspective which prevents them from imagining policy solutions that do not involve military intervention. So long as the government insists upon seeing non-military problems through a military lens, they will never be solved.

It is important to remember that the US government’s case against Maduro is almost entirely fictional

immediately started seeing these kind of takes on twitter and I know they will reach here and you have to understand this isn't happening because the US is the country of cartoon villains who does things because it's evil. It's imperialism. The US has an empire and it wants to keep it and extend it. When it does not use diplomatic and political means it uses financial and economic control, when that does not work it tries to use intelligence operations and when that does not work it uses military action. Venezuela has gone and suffered through all the stages of this and now it's being struck with direct military action.

And again, the reason why the US does all this is not because "thirst for blood and chaos", it's because it's an empire. It wants the natural resources of Venezuela. It wants to keep its imperial dominion over Latin America, it wants to erase potential rivals on the region and keep it under their control. They have said it so. Explicitly.

Stop thinking things happen because of craaaazy guys like Trump or just because the US is "cursed" or whatever the fuck. These things have reasons behind them. Learn that the US is an empire, that it has economic and political interests behind the actions they do, that Latin America and the rest of the global south, and also the US people themselves, have to resist and challenge this empire, and that the only way for this empire to end will be the dismantling and destruction of the US capitalist oligarchy and the triumph of socialism and anti-imperialism.

🔴 #ALERT The Political Bureau of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Venezuela (elected by the 16th National Congress, Nov. 2022) denounces before the country and the international community that, since the early hours of January 3, the city of Caracas and other areas in the central region of the country have been bombed by military forces of the United States of America.

According to the information available so far, the attacks have targeted airports and other strategic points, constituting a serious violation of national sovereignty and an act of direct military aggression against the Venezuelan people. To date, there is no official report specifying the extent of the material damage or the number of victims caused by these criminal bombings.

The Communist Party of Venezuela strongly condemns this imperialist aggression, which confirms the US government's warmongering escalation and its utter contempt for international law, the self-determination of peoples, and peace in Latin America and the Caribbean.

In light of this situation, the PCV calls on the international communist and workers' movement, on the popular, democratic, and anti-imperialist forces of the world, to mobilize immediately in rejection of this new and dangerous military offensive and to express their active solidarity with the Venezuelan people.

Imperialist boots out of Venezuela and Latin America! Caracas,
