English / Spanish Venezuela. Rebirth and Electoral Victory of the Communist Party By Thierry Deronne, Venezuelainfos For some years now, militants from all over the world have frequently received communiqués signed “Communist Party of Venezuela” denouncing “the neoliberal regime of Maduro, which persecutes communists, represses workers, crushes wages and sows terror among the working classes […]
Excellent article. I hope this is widely circulated in western leftist and communist circles, because I have seen way too often well-meaning but severely misinformed comrades parrot the talking point that the PSUV should not be supported because some Venezuelan communists said so.
As we all know, just because someone calls themselves a communist doesn’t mean that all their takes are automatically correct, or that they are actually on our side. You have to pay attention to what people do and who they align themselves with more than what they say or claim to be.
If you see “communists” align themselves with right wingers and imperialist proxies against an anti-imperialist government, even if said government is not necessarily a socialist or communist one, alarm bells should start going off and having you question what their real agenda is.
11 months ago I mentioned that there were two PCVs -> https://lemmygrad.ml/post/5309060
The interesting part is that the “PCV” that backs the rightoids didn’t appear in the ballot box as PCV but as Centrados. Fun part of all this is that their candidate worked with the FBI -> https://lemmygrad.ml/post/6701152
For me, this is a good lesson that the imperialist will continue to divide movements from within. COINTELPRO lives on.
Marxist arent not symbolist but actionist. CPUSA calls themselves communist too but most western leftist know that they are lying lol.
Yeah for a while the only people I ran into who understood the situation were the ones spreading disinformation abt it and being suspiciously aggressive. :/
