    When Opposition Calls for “Free” and “Fair” Elections to Guarantee “Democracy” in Venezuela, What Do They Mean?

    Since Hugo Chavez came to power in 1999, the US has attacked the Bolivarian Revolution in multiple ways, including through propaganda that categorize it as “authoritarian,” “unfree,” and “undemocratic.” This US propaganda assault is intended to dictate what should be done in Venezuela, including a return to “democracy,” with “free” and “fair” elections. Emboldened by […]

  • The Propaganda Assault: A Tale of Two Venezuela(n)s

    After the Trump administration illegally kidnapped the legitimate president of Venezuela, Nicolas Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, on January 3rd, 2026, we saw two distinct and divergent responses from Venezuelans. On the one hand, the Venezuelan diaspora, especially in the United States, celebrated President Maduro’s kidnapping and bombing of their birth country. They congregated […]

  • Venezuela after the Abduction of President Maduro

    The kidnapping of a sitting head of state marks a grave escalation in US-Venezuela relations. By seizing Venezuela’s constitutional president, Washington signaled both its disregard for international law and its confidence that it would face little immediate consequence. The response within the US political establishment to the attack on Venezuela has been striking. Without the […]

  • Laura Dogu and Washington’s Regime-Change Playbook: Nicaragua, Honduras, Venezuela

    Laura Dogu, newly appointed US envoy to Venezuela, is described by the Los Angeles Times as an appropriate choice because she “navigated crises” in Nicaragua and Honduras during periods of “social and political volatility.” What the LA Times fails to add is that it was precisely Dogu’s job to create crisis and volatility in both […]

    Asian Solidarity with Venezuela

    Speak, your lips are free. Speak, it is your own tongue. Speak, it is your own body. Speak, your life is still yours.

  • The US Propaganda Campaign to Smear Venezuela’s New President Delcy Rodriguez

    The US “regime change” operation against Venezuela has been defeated. The Bolivarian Revolution remains firmly in power. Now, Washington’s campaign against the Chavistas attempts to paint Interim President Delcy Rodriguez as compromising on the heritage of Presidents Nicolas Maduro and Hugo Chavez. The Wall Street Journal ran an article Venezuelan Regime’s New Strategy: Appease Trump […]

  • The US Attempted Coup in Venezuela uses new Cyber Tools, but cannot Break the Chavista Wall

    The peoples around the world have looked to Venezuela as a vanguard leading Nuestra América in its second independence struggle, against the US. The US rulers operate as the inheritor of the European colonial empires, assuming the right to interfere in other countries’ elections, and dictate who are the winners. No other country – save US […]

    Venezuela: Where Next?

    We must speak the truth: therein lies our strength, and the masses, the people, the multitude will decide in actual practice, after the struggle, whether we have strength. — VI Lenin, 1905 Hugo Chavez will live on as one of the most outstanding foes of US imperialism in our time. His defiance of successive US […]

  • How the US Could Have Won the Venezuelan Election

    Don’t ask what business the US had in backing a candidate in Venezuela’s July 28 presidential election. Certainly that was not a question that the corporate press ever asked. Of course, the US should never have been meddling in Venezuelan elections in the first place. But given the machinations of the hemisphere’s hegemon, it is […]

    Venezuela Is a Marvellous Country in Motion

    Credit: Francisco Trías I have been in Caracas, Venezuela, for the past two weeks, before and after the presidential election on 28 July.
