Venezuela
Democracy against dictatorship?
This is not
the case. It is not a question of opposing Western democracies to the
dictatorship of Maduro, or perhaps the human rights branded by Santos, Uribe's
former war minister, or what sea that Trump argues against the constituent is
less democratic that the kingdom of "Saudi Arabia" or the agreements
of Colombia with the genocidal state of Israel.
The ANC is
an apparatus to oxygenate the government on the one hand and subtract the
competition to the MUD on the other. It is inoperative to respond to the
serious problem of the Venezuelans, nevertheless suffers a hard attack inside
and outside the country, in the name of a democracy that is claimed with
fascist assaults and threats of economic embargoes of the empire. The
environment promoted by the National Constituent Assembly, is to get the
support of the majority of Venezuelans, offering speeches that do not solve
anything, rather the opposite, the situation is worsening continuously, allowing
their development. This ANC is no less democratic than the National Assembly
led by the MUD, and even raises more expectations than those centered on NA, by
the workers and the communities. Those of the MUD, and demonstrated with the
facts made in 2002-2004, blow, lock out and repeal with false signatures that
are not democratic, now executing fascist actions.
For the
social demands of the workers and for the development of a political
alternative of the workers
We have
to get out the economic crisis to our benefits upon
those who sank our country.
Through the
ANC and outside it, we must to do the following:
Nationalization of Banking and Foreign Trade,
under the genuine control of workers to promote industrial and agricultural
production, the general increase of wages and the implementation of the mobile
scale. Finish impunity requires popularly elected judges, for periods of
moderate times and revocable at all times. Change the missions to autonomous institutes. The
Communes must be autonomous managing an assigned budget. For an autonomous and
armed popular militia that responds directly to the communities, the workers of
the city and the countryside. Militia members also have a comprehensive right
to economic and social benefits for their livelihood and their families. Outside the military, the
Sebin and the police forces of labor claims.
For the
defense of democratic rights and a united front to defeat the fascist
commandos.
The
elections showed that the Cilia-Maduro duo was favored over their internal
adversary Diosdado Cabello, and the other cliques within the government, the
Chavez family, around Asdrúbal Chávez and Jorge Arreaza, Elías Jaua on the
other hand, and even minor clans and regional organizations such as Carmen
Meléndez.
the candidates hand down for the elections to the governors, where the majority of the
MUD accepted to participate, and as always there are no alternatives anywhere
in the face of the chaos of the economy, which will benefit the workers, the
whole pact or dialogue is on the way out of the crisis at our expense.
On the
other hand, the assault to the Paramacay barracks to steal weapons, and the
movements they supported, but were isolated, indicate that this route is
prepared and exploited in the face of the existing political crisis.
There are
currently proposals made in the workplace to lead the ANC, but it is impossible
of being approved, before the apparatus of the constituents chosen
advantageously and representing a government that has long ago failed. The only
viable response is to organize autonomously, to discuss the concrete proposals
and to approve a plan of struggle, to have a strategy to achieve those
objectives in a single step through a Workers' Government. There are no short
cuts.
Defeat the
capitalists and their defenders, both the government and the MUD and the empire
Build a
revolutionary, anti-imperialist front with a Fight Platform.
