Venezuela: Resist US Imperialism. Chesterfield Meeting with guest speaker Judy Cox.
This Thursday January 8th at 7pm
The Hub at Low Pavement, 61 Low Pavement Chesterfield S40 1PB
If you can't make the meeting in person you can participate online at bit.ly/SWPChezzaZoom.
The US raids on Venezuela on the night of 2-3 January and the kidnapping and imprisonment of President Nicolás Maduro are naked acts of imperialist aggression. Donald Trump’s declaration that ‘we are going to run Venezuela’ sums up the arrogance of US power. His justifications are transparently fake. This is about removing a regime that has long been a thorn in Washington’s side and seizing the largest oil reserves in the world.
As US global dominance is under increasing pressure, the Trump administration has made reinforcing US domination of the Western Hemisphere and its resources its most important strategic priority, reaffirming the 'Monroe doctrine'.
By overthrowing Maduro, Trump is pointing a gun at the head of every other Latin American president. Most governments will probably confine themselves to verbal protests and seek to ingratiate themselves with Trump.
The only effective response to the US attack will come from below, most of all from the working masses of Venezuela and the rest of the region. This must be reinforced by a global movement of solidarity.
Join a discussion of imperialism and strategies of resistance.
