Bolivarian Revolution

US Colonialism Back With A Vengeance

January 15, 2026 Francisco Dominguez, Morningstar Online. , , ,
It finally happened though in an unexpected way. On January 3 2026 Trump ordered US military special forces to launch a deadly assault against Venezuela which involved 150 military aircraft and helicopters (taking off from 20 different bases across the hemisphere) that bombed Caracas, Miranda, Aragua, and La Guaira. The attacks led to substantial loss of life and destruction of buildings and infrastructure with at least 40 civilians killed, many while in their sleep. US forces surrounded the premises where President Nicolas Maduro was located, met fierce resistance from the presidential bodyguard, US forces killed all 40 of them.

There Was No Regime Change

There was no regime change’ -Venezuela’s ex-FM Jorge Arreaza on US kidnapping raid In an exclusive interview with The Grayzone’s Max Blumenthal, Venezuela’s former Foreign Minister Jorge Arreaza discusses the January 3 US military raid on Caracas that resulted in the kidnapping of President Nicolás Maduro and First Lady Cilia Flores and the killing of as many as 100 people. Arreaza argues the operation violated international law, the US Constitution, and head-of-state immunity, calling it “barbaric.” He insists Maduro and Flores were in a secure location and were defended by guards who “gave their lives,” but that US technological superiority made resistance ineffective.

Venezuela’s Revolution Still Stands: Debunking Trump’s Psyop

January 6, 2026 Manolo de Los Santos, People's Dispatch. , , ,
The events of the past 72 hours represent a qualitative escalation in the 25 years of regime change operations by the US government against the Bolivarian Revolution in Venezuela. The United States’ execution of “Operation Absolute Resolve”, a targeted bombing raid and the illegal abduction of President Nicolás Maduro, has created a moment of profound crisis but also profound clarity. For revolutionary forces globally, a concrete analysis is required to cut through the disinformation, understand the objective balance of forces, and chart a path forward.

Venezuela: Mass Demonstrations Demand Return Of President Maduro

January 5, 2026 Yusleny Morales, Orinoco Tribune. , , , ,
With emotions running high, but with determination and great loyalty, the Venezuelan people mobilized in great numbers on Sunday from the Plaza de la Candelaria in Caracas to demand the release of President Nicolás Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, who were abducted by the US. On an early January Sunday, when due to the season, public transit is very infrequent in the capital of Venezuela and when many holidaymakers have not returned to the city, thousands of Venezuelans flooded the streets showing the strength of Chavismo, the political force that supports the Bolivarian Revolution.

Inside Venezuela’s Response To Donald Trump’s Attack

January 4, 2026 Bhaskar Sunkara, Jacobin Magazine. , , , ,
Yesterday the United States carried out a direct military attack on Venezuela, abducting President Nicolás Maduro and conducting strikes around Caracas — a grave violation of international law that risks plunging the region into wider conflict. To understand how Venezuelan officials and supporters of the Bolivarian project are interpreting these events — and what they believe comes next — Jacobin founding editor Bhaskar Sunkara spoke last night with Carlos Ron, a former Venezuelan diplomat who served as one of the government’s principal interlocutors with the United States during years of sanctions and diplomatic confrontation.

Venezuela Is Undergoing A Total Functional Economic Transformation

December 15, 2025 José Negrón Valera, Orinoco Tribune. , , , ,
Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro recently highlighted the role of the National Council for Productive Economy in driving the growth of a new, self-sustaining economy. During a meeting on Friday, December 13, which brought together the government, the banking sector, and representatives of the country’s main business chambers, he presented the year-end gross domestic product (GDP) growth forecast of 9%, surpassing the Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC) projections and marking 18 consecutive quarters of sustained economic growth.

The Spirit Of Chavismo: Why Trump Must Not Invade Venezuela

December 1, 2025 Peter McLaren, LA Progressive. , , ,
In his excellent and provocative article, Roger D. Harris posed the following question in a recent edition of LA Progressive: Will the U.S. Attack Venezuela? His essay served as a warning, a fiery herald no eye could ignore. I do not rise to echo that caution across the void; I come to bear witness, a sentinel tracing its contours through time. I write from the memory of a land that invited me to bring a Freirean-style pedagogy to various sectors of the country, a los bosques, campos, tierras de cultivo y barrios de Venezuela.

The New US-Russia Clash In Latin America

November 7, 2025 Mnar Adley and Alan MacLeod, MintPress News. , , , , , , , ,
Pushback from Latin American leaders are putting a wrench in the works of Donald Trump’s imperial ambitions. The Summit of the Americas– the U.S.-backed conference of regional leaders– has had to be cancelled (or, officially, postponed until 2026) due to threats of a mass boycott of the event. Leading this revolt are Gustavo Petro of Colombia and Claudia Sheinbaum of Mexico, who both declared they would skip the event in protest of the U.S. treatment of Venezuela, Cuba, and Nicaragua. With the summit promising to be a public relations disaster, the U.S. ordered it cancelled.

Venezuela’s Militias And The Civil-Military Union

November 4, 2025 Ria Evelyn, Venezuelanalysis. , , ,
The ideological basis of our militias is rooted in anti-colonial struggle. Resistance to Spanish conquest in the 16th century was led by Aboriginal peoples. The form of social organisation of our indigenous peoples was not a pyramid-type hierarchical order with a single chief – we had many chiefs – so Spanish colonisers found they could not dismantle the entire social, political and military structures of our society by killing the head of a pyramid. Our chiefs organised resistance, including the great indigenous leaders Great Cacique Guaicaipuro and Great Cacia Uriquia, forming liberation movements which continued until the independence era.

Venezuela And The Heart Of The Struggle For A New World

September 2, 2025 Carmen Parejo Rendón, Orinoco Tribune. , , , , ,
“We will defend our independence with all the means at our disposal and we will raise our protest before the Spanish nation and its intelligent people, who we believe do not dispute the legality of our demands,” said Abd el-Krim, a Riffian revolutionary leader who resisted French and Spanish colonial occupation in the early 20th century. These words, which distinguish between the power that oppresses and the people who can understand and resist, resonate today more strongly than ever from Venezuela. Because Venezuela is not only a country beset by imperialism: it is an ethical, political, and cultural trench in the midst of a world collapsing amid wars, genocides, recycled fascisms, and markets that devour peoples.

US Increases Bounty On President Nicolás Maduro To $50 Million

August 9, 2025 Pablo Meriguet, People's Dispatch. , , ,
The Venezuelan government has said that the increase in the reward for the arrest of President Nicolás Maduro by US Attorney General Pam Bondi is “ridiculous” and that it is part of a “propaganda operation” and a “desperate distraction” from the internal problems facing the United States. Bondi published a video on August 7, announcing that the US Department of Justice and Department of State are offering USD 50 million for “information leading to the arrest of Nicolás Maduro”. This is not the first time the US government has tried to pressure the Bolivarian government in this way. In 2020, the US Department of Justice offered USD 15 million for Maduro’s arrest. The accusations were based on alleged acts of “narco-terrorism” by the Venezuelan government.

Venezuela On The Verge Of Eradicating Hunger

August 2, 2025 Mision Verdad, Orinoco Tribune. , , ,
Since the imposition of illegal coercive measures (euphemistically referred to as sanctions) by the US and its allies on Venezuela in 2014, and after 11 years with a burden of 1,041 Unilateral Coercive Measures (MCU) on the nation, which places it between the fifth and sixth most sanctioned country in the world depending on the source, the country has once again reduced the hunger that appeared amid the economic, financial, and commercial blockade perpetrated against the national government as part of the war to stifle the economy, prevent the supply of essential goods, and negatively impact food security and sovereignty, with the goal of imposing the failed regime change.

What July 5th Taught Me That July 4th Never Did

July 2, 2025 Michelle Ellner, Counter Punch. , , , ,
Growing up in Venezuela and now living in the United States, I’ve always felt caught between two independence days: July 4th and July 5th. Two celebrations. Two flags. Two very different ideas of what it means to be free. In the U.S., the Fourth of July comes with fireworks, parades, and an almost unquestioned belief in the righteousness of the revolution it commemorates. But in Venezuela, July 5th conjures up different thoughts. It is not just a break from colonial rule but the beginning of a long, unfinished struggle to define freedom on our own terms. It’s not something we inherited. It’s something we’re still fighting for.

Tenacious Bolivarian Resistance Against Obstinate US Aggression

June 23, 2025 Francisco Dominguez, Countercurrents. , , , ,
On the eve of Venezuela’s presidential election on 29th July 2024, Guardian correspondents, Tiago Rogero (based in Rio de Janeiro) and Sam Jones (based in Madrid) predicted the vote “could end 25 years of socialist rule.” It did not. The following, 30 July, another group of Guardian correspondents gave prominent coverage to far-right wing Venezuelan politician Maria Corina Machado, quoting her claim that “Maduro’s exit was inevitable.” Yet, Nicolas Maduro was inaugurated as the re-elected president for the 2025-2031 term on 10 January 2025. The July 2024 presidential election was followed by the election for National Assembly deputies and all 24 governorships of Venezuela’s federal structure on 25 May 2025.

Ballots And Bias: How The Press Framed Venezuela’s Elections.

May 29, 2025 Roger D. Harris, Popular Resistance. , , , , ,
The pro-government alliance achieved a sweeping victory in Venezuela’s May 25 elections, while a fractured opposition suffered losses. Western media distorted the results – spinning low turnout claims, ignoring the role of illegal US sanctions, and offering selective sympathy to elite opposition figures. At stake for the 54 contesting Venezuelan political parties were seats for 285 National Assembly deputies, 24 state governors, and 260 regional legislators. The pro-government coalition won all but one of the governorships, taking three of the four states previously held by the opposition. The loss of the state of Barinas was particularly symbolic for this was the birthplace of former President Hugo Chávez; and especially so, because the winner was Adán Chávez, the late president’s older brother.
