Yankee Imperialist War of Aggression Against Venezuela: Its Current Phase

 

With these brief lines we seek to clear up some doubts about the nature of the current intervention of Yankee imperialism against Venezuela and Latin America. Let's see:

INTRODUCTION


We are not facing a case or situation of indirect intervention by imperialism in the internal affairs of our countries, as occurred in the case of Argentina in the midterm elections last October. In the case at hand, it is direct intervention with the deployment of all the political, economic and military potential of the United States, the sole hegemonic imperialist superpower against a weak Third World country. In collusion and conflict with Russia and other imperialist countries. Will it be another Syria of Assad?

It is a war of imperialist aggression against an oppressed country in its first phase. We are not in the previous stage of preparations and creation of internal and external public opinion, this has been done during several periods of United States governments, several decades of years.

We begin by saying that direct intervention against Venezuela is part of the strategic plan of Yankee imperialism.

The Yankee plan has its roots in the criteria of the “Bush Initiative for Latin America” (1992), obviously more developed, which are those that guide the policy of the Trump government; and we see very clearly how sinister are the plans that "narcoterrorism" entails to impose unconditional surrender and a change of government in Venezuela. Like, Yankee imperialism has used it since the 80s to defame the people's war in Peru and the guerrilla movements in Latin America. It is part of the imperialist intervention in Latin America.

THE CURRENT PHASE OF THE WAR OF IMPERIALIST AGGRESSION AGAINST THE VENEZUELAN NATION

The United States has laid siege to Venezuela by deploying 15 percent of its military power to demand the unconditional surrender of its current government, led by Nicolás Maduro.

The brave people of Venezuela have rejected this Yankee imperialist aggression and remain firm in their resistance against imperialism and in defense of the country's independence and sovereignty.

Weakness and backwardness of the resistance forces: national consciousness and confidence in one's own forces must be developed in the fight against imperialism.

The conditions are magnificent for the reconstitution of the Communist Party of Venezuela as a Marxist-Leninist-Maoist party in the forge of the war of national resistance.

The current government of Venezuela is the one who represents the country and is obliged to defend its independence and sovereignty

The head of the Yankee imperialist State, Trump, has declared that he is in talks with representatives of the Venezuelan government and that his government, says the genocidal Trump, has not accepted any of Maduro's proposals, such as ceding to the United States monopolies the privileged exploitation of the riches of the besieged country and, nor, the resignation of President Nicolás Maduro, after a transition period of two to three years (capitulation with conditions).

The situation is that the war of imperialist aggression against the oppressed country Venezuela, in this phase, is developed mainly as a military siege of an entire country demanding its unconditional surrender to impose a puppet government; as part of the war siege through the siege of the stronghold (the attacked country Venezuela).

North American imperialism and its lackeys in the region carry out a growing political, economic and military blockade of the country with specific military attacks against all civil activity in Caribbean or adjacent Pacific waters. The result to date is more than 15 fishing vessels destroyed and more than 80 fishermen killed (those are the mortal casualties of the war that the US authorities themselves recognize).

The preparations of Yankee imperialism to move on to the next phase of its war of aggression. Request from the Trump government to the judiciary to declare the government, military, etc. as a “narcoterrorist organization.” of Venezuela to move from the military siege of the country to action within it, through invasion with its own forces or the use of puppet forces.

The bombing of camps of the so-called guerrilla forces of “the FAR dissidents” by the Colombian government of Petro, located near the border with Venezuela, are an important part of the development of the aggression, of the imperialist war against Venezuela. The children and combatants murdered by the Petro government following Trump's orders are the blood shed of the Colombian people in this war of aggression by Yankee imperialism not only against Venezuela but against the people of all of Latin America. Thus, everything Petro says or does is just words and poses to better serve the Yankee imperialist master.

SOME COMPLEMENTARY PRECISIONS.

War of aggression by Yankee imperialism against Venezuela in the siege phase and blockade of the country demanding its surrender.

The brave Venezuelan people close ranks against the Yankee imperialist war of aggression.

The problem in the national united front is the lack of proletarian leadership, the need for a Marxist-Leninist-Maoist Communist Party to lead the war of national liberation. Which will necessarily materialize.

Conjure the threats of capitulation, the attempts at capitulation in the national resistance, mainly by the rulers of the attacked country from the bureaucratic faction of the big bourgeoisie.

Faced with the danger of capitulation, the proletariat, the peasantry, the petty-bourgeoisie, the national bourgeoisie and other patriotic forces must persist in resistance with the support of the proletariat and peoples of the world.

Countries fight for their independence, nations for their liberation and people for revolution.

The basis of the front against imperialism is the worker-peasant alliance led by the Communist Party.

The war of resistance against imperialism is for national liberation and is part of the new democratic revolution, which is carried out through the people's war to sweep away the three mountains: imperialism, bureaucratic capitalism and semi-feudality.

In no phase of the new democratic revolution can we separate the anti-imperialist (national) task from the other two tasks, the fact that one becomes main in the process of development of the fundamental contradictions of the democratic revolution does not imply that the others are not present or stop acting, only the fight against one or the other is readjusted as main.

Need for the Communist Party to transform the armed struggle of national resistance into a people's war.

This is all for now

GUERRA DE AGRESIÓN IMPERIALISTA CONTRA VENEZUELA: SU FASE ACTAUAL

 

Con esta breve líneas buscamos despejar algunas dudas sobre el carácter de la actual intervención del imperialismo yanqui contra Venezuela y América Latina. Veamos:


INTRODUCCIÓN


No estamos ante un caso o situación la intervención indirecta del imperialismo en los asuntos internos de nuestros países, como se dio en el caso de Argentina en las elecciones de medio período en octubre último. En el caso que nos ocupa es intervención directa con el despliegue del conjunto del potencial político, económico y militar de los Estados Unidos, la superpotencia imperialista hegemónica única contra un país débil del Tercer Mundo. En colusión y pugna con Rusia y demás países imperialistas. Será una otra Siria de Assad?


Es guerra de agresión imperialista contra un país oprimido en su primera fase. No estamos en la etapa previa de los preparativos y creación de la opinión pública interna y externa, esto se ha realizado durante varios periodos de gobiernos de los Estados Unidos, varias decenas de anos.


Comenzamos diciendo que la intervención directa contra Venezuela es parte del plan estratégico del imperialismo yanqui para:


El plan yanqui tiene sus raíces en los criterios de la “Iniciativa Bush para América Latina(1992), obviamente más desarrollados, que son los que guían la política del gobierno de Trump; y vemos muy claramente cuan siniestros son los planes que encierra infamar de "narcoterrorismo" para imponer la rendición incondicional y el cambio de gobierno en Venezuela. Como, el imperialismo yanqui, desde los 80 lo emplea para infamar a la guerra popular en el Perú y a los movimientos guerrillero en América Latina. Es parte de la intervención imperialista en América Latina.


LA ACTUAL FASE DE LA GUERRA DE AGRESIÓN IMPERIALISTA

 CONTRA LA NACIÓN VENEZOLANA


Los Estados Unidos han sitiado a Venezuela con el despliegue del 15 por ciento de su poderío militar para exigir la rendición incondicional de su actual gobierno, encabezado por Nicolás Maduro.


El valiente pueblo de Venezuela ha rechazado esta agresión imperialista yanqui y se mantiene firme en la resistencia contra el imperialismo y por la defensa de la independencia y soberanía del país.


Debilidad y atraso de las fuerzas de la resistencia: hay que desarrollar la conciencia nacional y la confianza en las propias fuerzas en la lucha contra el imperialismo.


Las condiciones son magníficas para la reconstitución del Partido Comunista de Venezuela como partido marxista-leninista-maoísta en la fragua de la guerra de resistencia nacional.


El actual gobierno del Venezuela es quien representa el país y está obligado a defender su independencia y soberanía


El cabeza del Estado imperialista yanqui, Trump, ha declarado que está en conversaciones con representantes del gobierno venezolano y que su gobierno, dice el genocida Trump, no ha aceptado ninguna de las propuestas de Maduro, como la de ceder a los monopolios de los Estados Unidos la explotación en condición de privilegio de las riquezas del país sitiado y, tampoco, la de renuncia del presidente Nicolás Maduro, luego de un periodo de transición de dos a tres años (capitulación con condiciones).


La situación es que la guerra de agresión imperialista contra el país oprimido Venezuela, en esta fase, se desarrolla principalmente como sitio militar de todo un país exigiendo su rendición incondicional para imponer un gobierno títere; como parte del asedio bélico mediante el sitio de la plaza fuerte ( el país agredido Venezuela).


El imperialismo norteamericano y sus lacayos de la región llevan a cabo un creciente bloqueo político, económico y militar del país con ataques militares puntuales contra toda actividad civil en aguas del Caribe o adyacentes del Pacífico. El resultado hasta la fecha es de más de 15 embarcaciones pesqueras destruidas y más de 80 pescadores asesinados (esas son las bajas mortales de la guerra que reconocen las propias autoridades de los EEUU).


Los preparativos del imperialismo yanqui para pasar a la siguiente fase de su guerra de agresión. Solicitud del gobierno de Trump al judicativo para que declare como “organización narcoterrorista” al gobierno, militares, etc. de Venezuela para para pasar del sitio militar al país a la acción en su interior, mediante la invasión con propias fuerzas o el uso de fuerzas títeres.


El bombardeo de campamentos de las llamadas fuerzas guerrilleras de “los disidentes de la FAR” por parte del gobierno colombiano de Petro, ubicados cerca a la frontera con Venezuela, son parte importante del desarrollo de la agresión, de la guerra imperialista contra Venezuela. Losniños y combatientes asesinados por el gobierno de Petro siguiendo las ordenes de Trump es sangre derramada del pueblo colombiano en esta guerra de agresión derl imperialismo yanqui no solo contra Venezuela sino contra los pueblos de toda América Latina. Así, todo lo que Petro dice o hace solo son palabras y poses para servir mejor al amo imperialista yanqui.


ALUNAS PRECISIONES COMPLEMENTARIAS.


Guerra de agresión del imperialismo yanqui contra Venezuela en fase de sitio y bloqueo del país exigiendo su rendición.


El valiente pueblo venezolano cierra filas contra la guerra de agresión imperialista yanqui.


Problema en el frente único nacional es la falta de dirección proletaria, necesidad de Partido Comunista marxista-leninista-maoísta que dirija la guerra de liberación nacional. Lo que necesariamente se materializará.


Conjurar las amenazas de capitulación, las tentativas de capitulación en la resistencia nacional, principalmente por los gobernantes del país agredido de la facción burocrática de la gran burguesía.


Ante el peligro de capitulación el proletariado, el campesinado, la pequeño-burguesía, burguesía nacional y otras fuerzas patrióticas deben persistir en la resistencia con el apoyo del proletariado y pueblos del mundo.


Los países luchan por su independencia, las naciones por su liberación y los pueblos por la revolución.


La base del frente contra el imperialismo es la alianza obrero-campesina dirigida por el Partido Comunista.


La guerra de resistencia contra el imperialismo es por la liberación nacional y forma parte de la revolución de nueva democracia, que se lleva a cabo mediante la guerra popular para barrer las tres montañas: el imperialismo, el capitalismo burocrático y la semifeudalidad.


En ninguna fase de la revolución de nueva democracia podemos separar la tarea antiimperialista (nacional) de las otras dos tareas, el que una devenga principal en el proceso de desarrollo de las contradicciones fundamentales de la revolución democrática, no implica que las otras no estén presentes o dejen de actuar, solo se reajusta la lucha contra una u otra como principal.


Necesidad de Partido Comunista para trasformar la lucha armada de resistencia nacional en guerra popular.


Esto es todo por el momento

INDIA: Struggle, Don’t Surrender -


 Fight, Don't surrender: Comrade Basavaraj's immortal call -K. Murali @ Ajith

 

¡Lucha, no te rindas!: El llamado inmortal del camarada Basavaraj - K. Murali @ Ajith

    The call of com: Basavaraj’s martyrdom


    (Message sent to FACAM’s press conference at Delhi, 3rd November, 2025)

    In order to eliminate the Maoist movement in Bastar and carry out it’s long term plan to forcibly displace the indigenous Adivasi population from that region, so that it can be handed over to Indian and foreign corporates, the Indian state has been carrying out a vicious campaign of suppression known as Operation Kagar. As part of this it has even carried out repeated aerial bombing of Adivasi villages. Almost half of those killed there by the Indian state in recent months are Adivasis, including children. Several leading human rights activists had expressed grave concern over the situation and called upon the Government of India, as well as the leadership of the Maoist party, to ceasefire and initiate talks. The leadership of that party responded to this call and unilaterally declared a ceasefire, calling on the government to follow suit and create conducive conditions for talks. Instead of responding positively to this the Indian state continued its murderous campaign of suppression. It encircled and shot down the secretary of the CPI (Maoist), comrade Basavaraj and those accompanying him. Violating all norms, it refused to handover the bodies of these comrades to their relatives for a proper cremation. Instant it surreptitiously carted away the bodies and burnt them. This was the dastardly manner by which the Indian state revealed its inhuman character. Complementing it, a bunch of traitors headed by the Sonu- Rupesh clique are now slandering comrade Basavaraj in a most heinous manner. They claim that he was in support of laying down arms and surrendering. They thus mock the heroic resistance put up by comrade Basavaraj and his companions, despite being heavily outnumbered and facing a far superior force. Those comrades chose to fight to the end. They were not for surrender. Instead they went down holding up the blazing banner of revolution in the true communist tradition, thus setting glorious examples of self-sacrifice.

    Recently, Soni Sori, the well known Adivasi human rights activist, has put some very relevant questions to those who surrendered. Will this mean that the Adivasis will now have the right to their Jal, Jungle and Zameen? Does this mean that the government will withdraw armed camps from that region? Does this mean that foreign and Indian corporates will not be allowed to ravage that land for their profits? Anyone even slightly familiar with the policies and interests of the rulers of this country knows the answers to these questions. Nothing of that sort is going to happen. Rather, rapacious plunder of that region is going to intensify. That calls for struggle, not surrender, on the part of the oppressed and those who side with them. That calls for upholding the glorious tradition of great martyrs like comrade Basavaraj.

    El llamado de la comunidad: El martirio de Basavaraj

     (Mensaje enviado a la conferencia de prensa de FACAM en Delhi, 3 de noviembre de 2025) 

    Con el fin de eliminar el movimiento maoísta en Bastar y llevar a cabo su plan a largo plazo de desplazar por la fuerza a la población indígena adivasi de la región para entregarla a corporaciones indias y extranjeras, el Estado indio ha emprendido una brutal campaña de represión conocida como Operación Kagar. Como parte de esta, incluso ha bombardeado repetidamente aldeas adivasi. Casi la mitad de las personas asesinadas allí por el Estado indio en los últimos meses son adivasi, incluyendo niños. Varios activistas de derechos humanos expresaron su profunda preocupación por la situación y pidieron al Gobierno de la India, así como a la dirigencia del partido maoísta, que cesaran el fuego e iniciaran conversaciones.  

    La dirigencia del partido respondió a este llamado y declaró unilateralmente un alto el fuego, instando al gobierno a hacer lo mismo y crear las condiciones propicias para el diálogo. En lugar de responder positivamente a esto, el Estado indio continuó su sangrienta campaña de represión. Rodeó y asesinó al secretario del PCI (Maoísta), el camarada Basavaraj, y a quienes lo acompañaban. Violando todas las normas, se negó a entregar los cuerpos de estos camaradas a sus familiares para una cremación digna. Inmediatamente, se los llevó subrepticiamente y los incineró. Esta fue la vil manera en que el Estado indio reveló su carácter inhumano. Para colmo, un grupo de traidores liderados por la camarilla de Sonu-Rupesh ahora calumnia al camarada Basavaraj de la forma más atroz. Afirman que él apoyaba la rendición. De este modo, se burlan de la heroica resistencia que opusieron el camarada Basavaraj y sus compañeros, a pesar de estar en clara inferioridad numérica y enfrentarse a una fuerza muy superior. Esos camaradas eligieron luchar hasta el final. No estaban dispuestos a rendirse. En cambio, cayeron enarbolando la bandera llameante de la revolución, fieles a la tradición comunista, dando así gloriosos ejemplos de autosacrificio. 

    Recientemente, Soni Sori, la reconocida activista de derechos humanos adivasi, ha planteado preguntas muy pertinentes a quienes se rindieron. ¿Significa esto que los adivasis tendrán ahora derecho a su agua, selva y tierra? ¿Significa que el gobierno retirará los campamentos armados de la región? ¿Significa que las corporaciones extranjeras e indias no podrán saquear esas tierras para su propio beneficio? Cualquiera que conozca mínimamente las políticas e intereses de los gobernantes de este país sabe las respuestas a estas preguntas. Nada de eso sucederá. Al contrario, el saqueo despiadado de esa región se intensificará. Esto exige lucha, no rendición, por parte de los oprimidos y de quienes los apoyan. Exige mantener viva la gloriosa tradición de grandes mártires como el camarada Basavaraj.

    Neuer Impuls in der revolutionären Frauenbewegung

     

    Wir veröffentlichen an dieser Stelle einen Bericht der Genossinnen des Roten Frauenkomitees Ruhr, welchen wir zugeschickt bekommen haben:

    Über das vergangene Wochenende wurde eine politisch-kulturelle Aktivität organisiert, bei der viele Genossinnen sich über die Notwendigkeit eines Sprungs in der revolutionären Frauenbewegung in Deutschland austauschen konnten. Dabei wurde besonders die sich stetig verstärkende doppelte Unterdrückung und Ausbeutung der Frauen des Proletariats und des Volkes durch den Kapitalismus in seiner höchsten Stufe, dem Imperialismus, und das Patriarchat hervorgehoben, und die Notwendigkeit einer starken klassenbewussten Frauenorganisation betont, die die Frauen für diesen Kampf mobilisiert, politisiert und organisiert. Wichtige Tagesforderungen, wie z.B. „Gleicher Lohn für gleiche Arbeit!“ oder „Für kostenlose und gute Kinderbetreuung!“ wurden herausgegeben und gaben erste Anhaltspunkte für zu beginnende Kämpfe. Mit einer sehr genossenschaftlichen und feierlichen Stimmung kam es unter den Genossinnen zu vielen Diskussionen und Austausch.

    Auch die Erfahrungen der Genossinnen aus den unterdrückten Ländern waren Bestandteile der Gespräche, bei denen die Rolle der ecuadorianischen Genossin Patricia Amaya hervorgehoben wurde, die als proletarische Revolutionärin eines der lebendigen Vorbilder der proletarischen Frauenbewegung ist.



    Die Genossin ist eine wichtige Gewerkschaftsführerin und Mitglied der FDDT-I (Front zur Verteidigung der Arbeiterrechte in Imbabura), die vom alten ecuadorianischen Staat mit Repressionen der Überwachung, Schikane und strafrechtlicher Verfolgung überzogen wird. In dem Rahmen der politisch-kulturellen Aktivität wurde ein Solidaritätsfoto aufgenommen, welches wir mit euch teilen.

    THE RED HERALD: Chile – El Pueblo: Notes on Fascism and Corporatism – Part I

     

    Chile – El Pueblo: Notes on Fascism and Corporatism – Part I

    We hereby share an unofficial translation of an article from Issue nº100 of the newspaper El Pueblo from Chile.

    Notes on Fascism and Corporatism

    (Part I)

    For several years now—and even more so recently—accusations of fascism have been leveled at José Antonio Kast. These accusations are largely justified, as this individual’s own statements and credentials characterize him as a fascist. Part of the problem is that fascism and the corporatization of society have in Kast just one of their representatives, one who knows how to use the old “representative democracy” and its rules. The most serious problem begins with those who stand behind the judge shouting, “There goes the fascist!” There he goes!“ These people, disguised as democrats or socialists, hide their corporatist positions but end up staunchly defending the same 1980 Constitution they previously criticized, and they try to present themselves as our ”heroes” without heroic deeds or our bourgeois democrats without bourgeois democratic revolutions.

    By Juan Segundo Leiva Popular Research Center

    To understand fascism, it is necessary to understand what the State is and the nature of its classes. Marx argues that “the origins of States are lost in a myth, which must be believed, but which cannot be discussed.” For his part, the great Lenin stated that “the problem of the State is one of the most complicated and difficult, perhaps the one in which bourgeois scholars, writers, and philosophers have sown the most confusion.”

    For Lenin, the State is organized violence. He says that maintaining a regime of exploitation is impossible “without a permanent apparatus of coercion,” without “a machine for one class to repress another.” And he further clarifies this point: “This machine can take various forms. The slave-owning State could be a monarchy, an aristocratic republic, and even a democratic republic. In reality, the forms of government varied extraordinarily, but their essence was always the same: slaves had no rights and remained an oppressed class; they were not considered human beings.”

    Lenin clarifies that “any State in which private ownership of land and the means of production exists, in which capital rules, however democratic it may be, is a capitalist State, a machine in the hands of the capitalists for the subjugation of the working class and poor peasants. And universal suffrage, the Constituent Assembly, or Parliament are merely a form, a kind of promissory note, which does not change the essence of the matter.” He insisted that the form of State domination may vary, “but power is always, essentially, in the hands of capital, whether or not there is restricted voting or other rights, whether it is a democratic republic or not; in fact, the more democratic it is, the more crude and cynical is the domination of capitalism.” “Capital, once it exists, dominates the entire society, and no democratic republic, no electoral rights can change the essence of the matter.” This becomes more acute and unsustainable under imperialism.

    We will take up Chairman Gonzalo’s approaches to this important issue. He points out that Lenin also saw that, with imperialism, the armed forces became much more powerful and the entire economy became militarized, that the bureaucracy grew immensely and the apparatus became increasingly repressive, but he did not have the opportunity to see fascism. Fascism will emerge as a necessity of the bourgeois State to stop the revolution. Fascism does not raise its head or emerge in Russia because the proletarian revolution triumphs. As the revolution unfolds in Europe, fascism will appear on the scene and develop a fierce “struggle against parliament until it crushes it.” It is important to note that Marx, long before, had already formulated that the bourgeois system is closely related to the strengthening of executive power to the detriment of parliamentary power, which is declining. This strengthening of the executive is nothing other than its growing reactionary nature.

    It is extremely important to emphasize the fact that a State is always a dictatorship. For this reason, the experience of authoritarian governments is a phenomenon that predates fascist regimes. Similarly, regimes based on terror predate fascism, therefore terror—despite their sophisticated use of terror—is not one of its main characteristics.

    Some typical features of fascism and corporatism can be found earlier. Marx, always a visionary in many things, analyzed the phenomenon of Bonapartism. His book “The Eighteenth Brumaire of Louis Napoleon Bonaparte” is a rich source of political concepts that contribute to understanding fascism and the reactionarization of the State. In this sense, Bonapartism is related to the fact that the class struggle itself generates its “heroes,” that is, characters, often grotesque, who eventually become the saviors of the moment, in particular the saviors of the ruling classes, as their representatives. These are the führers, the “leaders.” This is the case, to mention a few, in Chile or Peru, Argentina or Uruguay in the 1970s and 1980s, when fascist military dictatorships, with their respective “leaders,” ended up, through coups d’état, overthrowing the “democratic representative” regimes that were already mired in deep crises and, as we pointed out, were becoming insufficient for the revolutionary rise of the working class and peasant masses.

    In the case of the rise of fascism in Germany, it is important to understand the impact of the October Revolution and the failure of Germany’s own proletarian revolution in 1919, which was an aborted revolution. The German Social Democrats (revisionists at the time) came to power under the protection of Hindenburg serving the established order and resorting to the army to crush the German revolution and maintain the old order. This paved the way for the rise of Nazi-fascism.

    After their rise in the decade of 1920, Hitler and its Party conquered a bigger influence, supported by the international and German financial bourgeoisie, even the one from United States. They aimed to contain revolution and communism, as well as to act against the Soviet Union. It was the ongoing counterrevolution.

    However, the origin of fascism lies in Japan. “Action is polarized,” says Chairman Gonzalo, “revolution and counterrevolution, and bourgeois forms and liberal ideologies are insufficient to contain the revolution, hence the need for fascism.” Since the beginning of the 20th century, militaristic sectors have been waging a fierce struggle against the Japanese parliamentary liberals, while at the same time the rise of the Japanese labor and peasant movement sowed terror among the imperialists and monopolists (zaibatsu). This determined an outcome in favor of the militarist “statists,” the crushing of parliament, and the defeat of the workers and sharecroppers. This is to mention just a few of the examples that abound in world history.

    Fascism is not the same everywhere; it takes specific forms depending on the historical and political conditions in which it develops and the degree of development of the revolution it faces. It can even coexist with parliament for a time, which creates a dilemma for some of its representatives. Fascism, despite its specific historical differences, has general characteristics that are common to all forms: it sweeps away everything that is bourgeois-democratic, it promotes nationalism (chauvinism), it uses social demagogy, a supposed struggle against the rich (or the rich take care of themselves), grand offers to the masses (the “radical change”).

    An important leader of the Communist International, George Dimitrov, considers fascism to be a State that represents and defends the interests of the financial bourgeoisie (the imperialist big bourgeoisie), introducing fascist criteria of denial and rejection of democratic liberal principles, rejecting the parliamentary bourgeois order to promote corporatism, and which also uses terror, soft politics, and hard politics. With regard to terror, what fascism does is develop more violence as an instrument of paralysis and domination, in order to achieve its objectives of applying its fascist goals and the corporatist order (political objective). This is why a key issue in understanding fascism is that it cannot be characterized only by terror, but also by the denial of bourgeois freedoms.

    As a way of confronting the rise of people’s protest and revolution, and when democratic-representative forms are no longer sufficient to contain this, the reaction attempts to implant the fascist regime, the corporate State, the vertical organization of society based on the fascist trinity: businessmen-officials (or technocrats-workers), with a political centralization of power in the Executive.

    Every State is a dictatorship. This dictatorship can operate, as it has since the 20th century, in the form of representative democracy or in the form of military governments. It can do so at crucial moments or when it has the urgent need to defend or develop the prevailing order of exploitation. The big landlord-bureaucratic State, such as the Chilean State, oppresses the people, especially workers and peasants, strikes at the petty bourgeoisie, and restricts the middle or national bourgeoisie. This joint dictatorship of two classes (big landlords and the big bourgeoisie), its system of government, whether representative democracy or corporatism, and the politics that guide it, demoliberal or fascist, respectively, exploit and oppress the people.

    All this becomes more complex when revisionists (bourgeois workers’ Parties) develop a fascist political conception in practice and seek to corporatize society. In this sense, the false Communist Party that governs China today is a sham for many.

    After the counterrevolutionary coup in 1976, the glorious Party founded by Chairman Mao Tse-Tung became a fascist Party (as he had warned regarding the actions of the right wing within the party), and its regime, beyond the achievements that survived the workers, became a counterrevolutionary regime, a system based on capitalist restoration, with aspirations to become an imperialist power and, in the long term, a hegemonic superpower at the global level. To this end, it has had to develop fascism and corporatize Chinese society. These are issues of great relevance to understand at the present time.

    Brasilien: 20 Festnahmen und ein Mord bei neuer Operation gegen die LCP in Rondônia.- Brasil: 20 detenidos y un asesinato en nueva operación contra el LCP en Rondônia

     

    Die Staatsanwaltschaft von Rondônia hat die Operation „Godos“ gegen den Verband der armen Bauern (LCP) in Rondônia eingeleitet. Im Zuge dieser Operation wurden bereits 20 Personen festgenommen und ein Bauer in der Gegend von Tiago Campin dos Santos ermordet. Nach weiteren 50 Personen wird gefahndet.

    Unter den Festgenommenen befindet sich auch die Volksanwältin Lenir Correia vom Brasilianischen Verband der Volksanwälte (ABRAPO), die für ihren engagierten Einsatz für die Bauern in der Region bekannt ist.

    Es war eine der größten Operationen in der Region, bei der 500 Zivil- und Militärpolizisten eingesetzt wurden. Laut Militärpolizei richtet sich die Operation gegen eine angebliche „große kriminelle Organisation“ wegen der „Abholzung von 25.000 Hektar Wald“. Repressionskräfte und Monopolmedien haben bereits ähnliche Vorwürfe gegen die LCP erhoben.

    Das Gebiet Tiago Campin dos Santos wird als Territorium der „kriminellen Organisation“ bezeichnet. Unter den Beschuldigten und Gesuchten, die als „Anführer der LCP“ bezeichnet werden, befinden sich sowohl amtierende als auch ehemalige lokale Amtsträger. Es ist jedoch bekannt, dass die LCP öffentlich zum Wahlboykott aufruft, was das Verhältnis zwischen den Beschuldigten und der LCP in dieser Hinsicht fraglich macht.

    Es gibt auch weitere unbegründete Anschuldigungen, die die LCP mit der kriminellen Organisation Comando Vermelho in Verbindung bringen wollen . AND berichtet, dass dies darauf abzielt, „die öffentliche Meinung zu verwirren und eine reaktionäre Welle auszunutzen, um die Bauernbewegung zu kriminalisieren und zu demoralisieren“.

    Lokale Bauern behaupten, dass diese „Mega-Operation“ in Wirklichkeit darauf abzielt, das Gebiet Tiago Campin dos Santos zu zerstören und dem Großgrundbesitzer Galo Velho zu helfen.

    ABRAPO hat die Festnahme von 20 Personen, darunter die Volksanwältin Lenir Correia Coelho , scharf kritisiert. Sie engagiert sich seit Langem in Rondônia für die Belange der Bauern und verteidigt deren Rechte. Sie setzte sich unter anderem für die Verteidigung von Bauern in Fällen von Zwangsräumungen und kriminalisierten Aktivisten der Bauernbewegung, für die Freilassung politischer Gefangener und für die Landverteilung an die Bauernschaft ein.

    ABRAPO verurteilt die Festnahme als willkürlich, verfassungswidrig und politisch motiviert. Die Organisation sieht darin einen Teil einer umfassenderen Verfolgung von Menschenrechtsverteidigern. Auch das Nationale Netzwerk der Volksanwälte (RENAP) verurteilte den Fall und erklärte, dies sei ein weiterer Fall von eskalierender staatlicher Verfolgung von Menschenrechtsverteidigern in agrarischen Konfliktgebieten, insbesondere im Amazonasgebiet.

     

    TRADUCCIÓN NO OFICIAL.

    La Fiscalía de Rondônia ha lanzado la Operación "Godos" contra la Liga de Campesinos Pobres (LCP) en Rondônia. En el marco de esta operación, 20 personas han sido detenidas y un campesino fue asesinado en la zona de Tiago Campin dos Santos. Se busca a otras 50 personas. Entre los detenidos se encuentra la Defensora del Pueblo Lenir Correia, de la Asociación Brasileña de Defensores del Pueblo (ABRAPO), conocida por su incansable defensa de los campesinos de la región. 

    Se trató de una de las mayores operaciones en la región, con la participación de 500 agentes de policía civiles y militares. Según la policía militar, la operación tiene como objetivo a una supuesta "gran organización criminal" por la "deforestación de 25.000 hectáreas de bosque". Las fuerzas represivas y los principales medios de comunicación ya habían formulado acusaciones similares contra la LCP. 

     La zona de Tiago Campin dos Santos se describe como el territorio de la "organización criminal". Entre los acusados ​​y buscados, descritos como "líderes del LCP", se encuentran funcionarios locales, tanto actuales como antiguos. Sin embargo, se sabe que el LCP ha llamado públicamente al boicot electoral, lo que genera dudas sobre la relación entre los acusados ​​y el LCP en este sentido. 

    También existen acusaciones infundadas que vinculan al LCP con la organización criminal Comando Vermelho. AND informa que esto busca "confundir a la opinión pública y explotar una ola reaccionaria para criminalizar y desmoralizar al movimiento campesino". 

     Los campesinos locales afirman que esta "megaoperación" tiene como objetivo destruir el territorio de Tiago Campin dos Santos y beneficiar al gran terrateniente Galo Velho. 

    ABRAPO ha criticado duramente la detención de 20 personas, incluida la Defensora del Pueblo, Lenir Correia Coelho. Ella ha sido una activista de larga trayectoria en Rondônia, defendiendo los intereses de los campesinos y sus derechos. Su labor ha incluido la defensa de campesinos que enfrentan desalojos forzosos y la criminalización de activistas del movimiento campesino, la liberación de presos políticos y la promoción de la redistribución de tierras a los campesinos. 

     ABRAPO condena la detención por arbitraria, inconstitucional y con motivaciones políticas. La organización la considera parte de una persecución generalizada contra defensores de derechos humanos. La Red Nacional de Defensores del Pueblo (RENAP) también condenó el caso, afirmando que se trata de un ejemplo más de la creciente persecución estatal contra defensores de derechos humanos en zonas de conflicto agrario, particularmente en la Amazonía.
