What's next for the Bolivarian Revolution?

As Venezuelans go to the polls this Sunday, the country faces a choice between deepening revolution and an elite-enforced rollback.

Whatever the outcome of today's Venezuelan election, the US has neither the right nor the moral standing to intervene.

Despite its progressive veneer, the Justin Trudeau government in Canada has supported anti-democratic actions in Bolivia, Haiti, Venezuela, and elsewhere in the Americas. When it comes to foreign policy, Trudeau isn’t much different than Trump.

The Venezuelan Right appears to be building the kind of mass movement that could reverse the gains of the Bolivarian Revolution.

It's really very simple: the US has absolutely no right to meddle in the affairs of Venezuela, in any way, shape, or form.

Socialists must stand resolutely against US imperialism. We also can't turn a blind eye to purportedly leftist states' suppression of political liberties that socialists around the world have fought and died for.

Trump's policy towards Venezuela has become increasingly aggressive in the run-up to tomorrow's elections.

Venezuelans will vote today in fair and transparent elections. But you wouldn’t know it from the US government and media.

As great powers abandon even the pretense of law, the undeclared war on Venezuela exposes a world ruled by extortion, collapse, and the redefinition of sovereignty.

Eight years ago, liberals cheered as the Obama administration deposed an autocrat in Libya. The result was mayhem and chaos — and now they want to do the same in Venezuela.
The Bolivarian Revolution improved millions of lives, but it was never able to fundamentally challenge the logic of capital.

Trump’s draconian sanctions against Venezuela will hit the country's workers and poor the hardest.

The attack on Venezuela signals a new phase of US power in Latin America — one defined by coercion, intimidation, and open-ended intervention.

In today's election Venezuela's opposition offers only two paths: further strangling of the economy or dire shock therapy.

Russiagate hysteria is already being used to push Trump into an act of armed aggression against Venezuela. It's a disastrous result of a pointless delusion.

Across Latin America, the Right has swept to power. But its achievements pale in comparison to the Pink Tide — and it has no compelling vision for how to address the region’s challenges.

The Bolivarian Revolution went too far for capitalism but not far enough for socialism.

Donald Trump is leaning heavily on drug-trafficking accusations to justify his recent kidnapping of Nicolás Maduro. But a new congressional report has found that the vast majority of illegal drugs come to the US via Mexico and China, not Venezuela.
The Right's recent success in Venezuela shows how vital it is to reclaim and democratize Hugo Chávez's project.
