Reasons Black/African People Should Be In Solidarity With Venezuela

December 22, 2025 Djibo Sobukwe, Black Agenda Report. , , ,
While we are all aware that the US government has increased its hybrid war on its domestic population in the form of ICE, the national guard, cutting SNAP benefits, etc., we should also keep in mind that the US has escalated its war internationally. In this case, we highlight the escalation of the US hybrid war against Venezuela and provide 5 reasons why Black / African people should be in strong, steadfast solidarity at this time with the Bolivarian Revolution of Venezuela. The attacks and attempts at regime change and destabilization against the Bolivarian government of Venezuela by the US government have been ongoing since the founding of this democratically elected government in 1999.

Fisherfolk Resisting Imperialism: The Palmarito Afro-Descendant Commune

October 1, 2025 Chris Gilbert and Cira Pascual Marquina, Orinoco Tribune. , , , , ,
On the southern shore of Lake Maracaibo, Palmarito is an Afro-Venezuelan community shaped by centuries of history, culture, and resilience. Its people carry forward traditions rooted in their African heritage and in the fishing trade. Central to Palmarito’s way of life is the socialist commune, a form of popular self-government that transforms everyday life and work into a shared project. The town is part of the “pueblos santos,” a cluster of Afro-descendant communities bound together by devotion to San Benito of Palermo, the “Black saint,” and the ritual rhythms of the Chimbánguele. Life in Palmarito has always revolved around the lake—its fish provide sustenance and its water routes connect those living along its shores. From the struggle against enslavement and the creation of maroon communities to today’s communal self-governance, Palmarito’s story is one of resistance and collective action.
