I think that the governments of Cuba, Bolivia and Nicaragua let down
the entire Tamil population in the Democratic Socialist Republic of Sri
Lanka, as well as “proletarian internationalism” and the “exploited”,
by extending unconditional support to Sri Lanka’s racist government.I think that the governments of Cuba, Bolivia and Nicaragua let down

All true revolutionaries in Venezuela insist that the only solution to the current imperialist threat is socialism. On November 15, 2009, on the occasion of the elections for the delegates of the congress of the United Socialist Party of Venezuela (PSUV) President Hugo Chavez Frias again confirmed this urgent endeavor. At this decisive stage of the Bolivarian Revolution, the development of the 'young' Marx from the critique of religion to criticism of the State, of the bourgeois revolution, to the defense of human, proletarian emancipation, is very educative indeed. |

Por: Franz J. T. Lee - En el tercer milenio la conquista beligerante a nivel global de la “Humania del Sur”, especialmente del Caribe, Centroamérica y América del Sur, por parte de los Estados Unidos de América, está en pleno apogeo. Sin embargo, en el escenario histórico mundial, en vísperas de un posible colapso del sistema capitalista, está haciendo estragos una inexorable guerra pírrica que amenaza con devorar a las propias superpotencias. Oscar Wilde, en consonancia política con Rosa Luxemburgo, ha descrito de manera muy conmovedora la quintaesencia de la “Revolución Americana” y sus consecuencias nefastas: |

The last time I had the opportunity to speak in Caracas—at long-distance that time—was about a year ago, right after the UNASUR (Union of South American Nations) meeting in Santiago in September 2008. That meeting was called "with the purpose of considering the situation in the Republic of Bolivia," after an uprising backed by the traditional elites who had lost power in the impressive democratic elections of 2005. |

Since Chavez came to presidency, Venezuela’s economy has grown to fulfil the increasing demand for human dignity. More people are able to access the country’s economic wealth and, at the same time, Venezuela has opened its markets to China and other significant manufacturing leaders. Today, more poor people are able to buy very cheap Chinese fans, refrigerators and TV sets as the least material possessions that many treasure in land where it is hotter each year, and where public runs until 10-11pm. |

An August directive by Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez to “reduce to zero” bi-national trade with neighbouring Colombia has begun to bite, with imports from the neighbouring country falling dramatically. Chavez issued the directive in protest against a military agreement signed between Bogotá and Washington allowing US military troops access to Colombian bases. According to a report by Colombia’s National Department of Statistics, exports to Venezuela fell 49.5% in September. Trade between the two countries is expected to decline even further, after Venezuela imposed a blockade on Colombian agricultural products. |
