I myself am fortunate that I have the time and resources to follow what is happening in the world on a daily basis. That way, no one can tell me later what may or may not have happened in the past... And so I know a few facts, but that is all... Don't look to me for solutions; unfortunately I don't know either...
My gut feeling is that the POV of the PCV that Charlie forwarded today is a fairly correct analysis; "From the PCV we uphold the strategic line of building a working class and popular alternative to the two poles of the bourgeoisie, and at the same time fighting and defeating the tendency towards the consolidation of political forms of authoritarian management, towards which the forces of capital are advancing dangerously in the context of the acute crisis. Allowing either of the two fractions of the bourgeoisie to impose itself through electoral fraud or a coup d'etat, is a step in the consolidation of an authoritarian regime tailored to the offensive of capital against the Venezuelan workers." But that immediately brings us back to the bottom line of the left all over the world; the capitalist system is in crisis and almost every country is suffering the consequences. Not the left, but the right worldwide, knows how to profit from that... And the left stands by, looks at it and then powerlessly sticks the same "normalized" analysis on every situation; "We must build a new party that will stand for socialism and solve all problems..." Not incorrect in itself (although I do not remember that the once existing "socialist" states made a major contribution to environmental issues, on the contrary). In Greece they once called that "a deus ex machina"... But the problems are now acute and if we have not succeeded in successfully building such a party and making it deliver results in more than a century, what makes us think that the people will give us another century to do everything over again, and now with what guarantee of more success? The Communist Party in Venezuela was created one hundred years ago and has now 1 member in parliament. I know that you don't take the power in parliament, but when and how and with what forces do they think to change the system in their country? -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.
