Mark, you're right that there would be very little disagreement about the need for the US left to focus on the blockade and other efforts of its government aimed at subverting the Maduro government. But I inferred from Fred's comment in reply to Chris that there was some disagreement about what the left outside the US and in particular in Venezuela should be focused on. However, I believe neither wants to see the transfer of power, peacef or otherwise, from Maduro's PSUV government to the only exisiting alternative - the right-wing opposition. Of course, if I'm misreading the following comment by Fred, he and/or Chris can set me straight.
Chris says: "This must be put in the context of the US economic war against Venezuela." "I would say more than putting Saab's appointment and Maduro's pro-capitalist economic strategy in the context of "the US economic war" it has to be put in the context of Venezuelan society and the class war that has been raging in the pro-Chavez movement and Venezuela for the past 20 years. Without understanding that, its impossible to understand anything else. Even the sanctions and their impacts can only be understood within this context, not the other way around." . -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.
