Imperialism’s Non-Stop War Against Venezuela

The Socialist Program with Brian Becker

NOTE

The Truth About the War Against Venezuela

The ongoing conflict against Venezuela is rooted in the nation's historical battle for revolution, primarily initiated by Hugo Chavez and the Bolivarian Revolution. Key events, such as the failed coup in 2002, where impoverished citizens rallied to support Chavez, and the 2019 attempt to install Juan Guaido as a rival leader backed by the US, exemplify external interference in Venezuela's sovereignty. The legitimacy of recent electoral processes is undermined by immediate claims of fraud from opposition figures and US officials following Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro's victory. This reaction reveals a systematic bias against elections that do not favor the opposition, indicating a refusal to accept outcomes dictated by the electorate. The narrative surrounding electoral practices in Venezuela is heavily influenced by misinformation in the US, which obscures the true context of why the US government maintains an adversarial stance towards Venezuela.
