PUBLIC FORUM:
VENEZUELA, CENTER OF THE LATIN AMERICAN WAR ZONE
Thursday, March 21, 7:00-9:00 p.m.
Center for Socialist Education, 706 Clark Drive, Vancouver
Speakers from the Venezuela Peace and Solidarity Committee of Vancouver will talk about (1) Venezuela as the current focus of the continuing imperialist, “dirty war” on Latin America, and (2) building solidarity for Bolivarian Venezuela and peace.
While the US and its allies did its best to destabilize Venezuela and push the right-wing opposition into a civil war, and their international media churned the frenzy to give the appearance of a civil war, they did not succeed. There is no civil war. The leader of the opposition to the Bolivarian movement, despite all the resources imperialism provided, has been neutralized and is taking refuge in Colombia for the moment. A legal case of sedition is being prepared against him. The defense of Bolivarian Venezuela on February 23rd, supported by a widely expressed voice of solidarity around the world, was a triumph in this episode of the war on Venezuela and the efforts to subjugate all of Latin America and the Caribbean to imperialist command. However, danger lurks. The US and its allies including Canada and in Europe is preparing to engage in more interference and attempts at intervention. They are arming and training special forces in Colombia, Brazil and Colombia. Meanwhile, sanctions are starving the Venezuelan society by blocking much needed funds and supplies from entering the country and restricting exports. The Maduro government is doing its best to find aid and further socialize the country for survival and advancement. However, time is short. International solidarity is urgently required to help the Venezuelan people live and fend off more imperialist and right-wing attacks.
Please come to this vital discussion. Your solidarity is necessary! The situation will be explained in more detail, and in the context of imperialist strategy and interests in Latin America. We will then discuss building solidarity.
