Defeat the Imperialist Coup of Trump and his Puppet Guaidó
Venezuela is not a commodity
Let's avoid a bloody civil war
The origin of the coup - in process - was planned by the US
State Department along with the far right of the opposition to the government.
The right-wing opposition seeks to justify a possible bloodbath by blaming
Maduro and his efforts to keep control of the government.
For the period of sessions of 2019, and taking advantage of the fact that on
January 10 Maduro assumed his new presidential term, the National Assembly
decides to sell himself to Yankee imperialism. Trump chose the puppet Guaidó
from his womb to build the stage of the coup d'état. In this way, all that
oppositionist clique betrays the country because they represent interests
opposed to those of Venezuela, beyond any legal exchange.
The coup d'etat against Venezuela is also against all Latin America because it
represents for Yankee imperialism the claim to annihilate all resistance to its
interference, violating the self-determination of the peoples and declaring the
shameless theft of our resources.
In that sense, it is naive to think that the Trump government, which supports
the crown prince of Saudi Arabia, who ordered the assassination and then
dissolution of the body of the Arab journalist Khashoggi, and rejects the Latin
emigration from his backyard, may come in the name of democracy and with
humanitarian aid.
Similarly, the despair of a sector of Venezuelans by the
disaster caused by those who have led the country, has led them to believe that
the opposition, now, will recover Venezuela from the thunderous crisis it
suffers.
The colossal loss of prestige of Maduro and his team is due to his
responsibility in leading the country to ruin, which they do not admit, and on
the contrary, in the face of his weakness, he keeps sharing the power and
increasingly benefiting the cliques and the high military commanders, but the
right wing opposition to not being able to respond to the majority discontent
of the country, lends itself as a junior partner, and thus share the crumbs
that will allow them the greatest power in the world, the bestial, the most
murderous, the US government, who for a direct invasion or intervention with
mercenaries and stupid allied governments. They do not care about a bloodbath
in Venezuela. It only slows them to a certain point, the consequences within
their country for their possible casualties.
Maduro does not represent any socialism, quite the opposite.
There is no middle way between socialism and capitalism, between what you want
and what the Maduro government really does, which is more and more capitalism.
Its measures have taken the country and its political movement to the
precipice.
It is important to note that there has always been an economic war against
workers by public and private employers, foreigners and criollos, in which all
governments have been their accomplices, before and after 1999; today with
Maduro, is not the exception.
Similarly, the military has always exercised its role as guarantor of their
governments, their function is to enforce order, especially on workers, in
addition to the current government were enriched through corruption.
On the other hand, Russia and China can take advantage of our situation and
favor Venezuela in a limited way according to their interests, but they will
not sacrifice themselves for us. They defend theirs and can face the US but not
Venezuela.
The workers have the key to recover the country
The key to saving the economy does not have the gringos, nor do the military
have it, the workers have it with their control of all the factories; it is the
only guarantee to put them to produce and reactivate the economy to recover
Venezuela.
Our answers today are decisive for not surviving, dying for lack of everything
or emigrating, and on the other hand, to prevent a war with murderous foreign
intervention by the US Army and the support of the governments lackeys of Duque
and Bolsonaro.
All this refers to the following dilemmas
Do you need to import? Yes, but what?
Do you need to invest or have the resources? Yes, which one is it?
Do you need to make an economic plan to produce? Yes, who does it?
Do we need a salary that we produce the wealth of the country, the workers?
Yes, what should it be?
Up to now, and in this superb crisis, worse still, it does not matter what is
necessary and indispensable, but what enriches the importer and its accessory,
the capital comes from the money of the State or from that deposited in the
bank. The government and the bank decide who they favor to trade and speculate.
The results are the lack of production and the lack of assistance for all
services to the community; the critical and without arrangement are the
services of domestic gas, potable water, transportation, electricity and
health.
Despite the immense resources of the country, our only way to recover from
bankruptcy is that foreign trade (the import) must be nationalized, in the same
way create a single bank, to determine the priorities of the country and based
on that, import and invest to produce. This can only be done with the control
of the workers of those areas, elected in democratic assemblies, with delivery
of accounts of the management and at all times be revocable by those who
elected them, as well as all the strategic companies of the country, especially
the oil In the same way, the non-payment of the debt and the money used to
benefit the country. Likewise, workers must have a salary that covers the basic
family basket.
Down the negotiations, for the people there should be no secrets
Dialogue or secret negotiation between the two sides, government and right-wing
opposition, both, we reiterate, is to try to build a broken economy for
themselves that dismantled the country from squandering the extraordinary oil
revenues, and will not be to recognize the value of the labor force but at the
expense of it, that is, depreciating it even more. All budgets, plans or
projects are similar, they only differ in rhythm and administration, high
prices, foreign investment, more indebtedness, debt payments, more imports,
free exchange control. None favors the workers nor the vital production for the
country.
The peace that all employers want, both public and private, is with the workers
so that they do not protest for wages and with the communities so that they do
not claim for lack of services.
The dialogue that will have to be imposed will be on wages and collective
bargaining, and not to negotiate them but to equate them minimally with the
value of the basic family basket.
The embargo on income from the sale of oil
It is life or death for the country to defend the oil industry (PDVSA) from
drilling, refining and distribution; this can only be done by the workers and
their armed militia, by their knowledge and experience, taking the industry to
put it to produce and defend it, without bureaucrats or military. It is the
only prospect of success.
Before an intervention or occupation of the country must respond or resist with
a popular armed autonomous militia, in each factory and in each community.
No to secret dialogues.
Restitution of collective hirings confiscated by the government.
No to the payment of the fraudulent external debt and confiscation of the
capital of the corrupt.
Nationalization of the main companies of the economy, under the control of
their workers, without bureaucrats or military.
Nationalization of foreign trade and banking; for a single bank to have those
resources for the urgent needs of the people and the country.
For a minimum wage, equal to the basic family basket and the sliding scale
according to inflation.
Down the criminalization of workers' and popular protest.
We are against all indifference towards the situation in Venezuela and we are
unconditional with Venezuela against the pretensions of imperialism.
