Economic Warfare in Venezuela: Understanding US imperialism from Palestine to Chile


February 06, 2015


After losing the elections of April 14, 2013, and having failed in their efforts to cast doubt on the electoral results, the Venezuelan right-wing, with the guidance of US agents, changed its strategy. They recycled a 40-year old plan used against Chile and Salvador Allende to launch an economic sabotage aimed at bringing down the Venezuelan government lead by President Nicolas Maduro.

We look at the response to this situation by the Bolivarian government, in alliance with Socialist Communes, Workers and other sectors of the organized population.

After screening a short documentary Carbon Copy: The Economic War in Venezuela about the current situation in Venezuela, there will be a discussion panel with speakers presenting ongoing resistance to economic sanction and tactics to oppress people of Palestine and Chile.

We also commemorate the Day of Dignity of the Venezuelan People, the attempted coup of 1992 lead by Hugo Chávez and his Revolutionary Bolivarian Movement-200 directed against pro-US President Carlos Andrés Pérez and his neoliberal economic reforms. This historic event was the seed to build and spread the Bolivarian project across Venezuela and Latin America.
