Bolivarian Revolution

The US Empire’s 25-Year War On Venezuela

June 25, 2026 Matt Willgress, Orinoco Tribune. , , , ,
Donald Trump's attack on Venezuela and kidnapping of President Nicolas Maduro nearly six months ago (January 3 2026) marked a dangerous and deadly escalation in Washington’s long-running campaign against the Venezuelan people. This is an ongoing war for Venezuela’s oil — the largest proven oil reserves in the world, and the attacks followed the seizure of numerous tankers carrying Venezuelan oil. It is also the first step in a new strategy to turn the whole of Latin America back into a US colony, seeking to reassert total domination in the region. It’s now 100 per cent clear, less than six months later, that this will not stop with Venezuela. Trump is openly threatening Colombia, Mexico, and Cuba, among others.

Denial Is Not A River In Egypt, Or In Venezuela

June 6, 2026 Margaret Kimberley, Black Agenda Report. , , ,
The January 3, 2026, kidnapping of Venezuela’s president, Nicolas Maduro, and his wife, first combatant Cilia Flores, was carried out with the express purpose of turning that oil-rich nation into a vassal state whose resources would become the property of the United States. There would have been no reason to undertake such an act if ending that country’s socialist experiment wasn’t on the agenda. The United States created not only an act of aggression against a sovereign nation, but also confusion among anti-imperialists that lingers long after that dirty deed was done. 

Venezuela Under Siege: Defending The Revolution Against US Imperialism

May 26, 2026 Francisco Dominguez and Roger D. Harris, Popular Resistance. , , , ,
In response to recent developments in Venezuela under imperialist siege, international solidarity activists should adopt a stance that does not inadvertently reinforce Washington’s drive for domination. Our central responsibility is not to adjudicate every tactical decision made under siege conditions, but to oppose the imperialist aggression that creates those conditions. The overwhelming structure of US hybrid warfare against Venezuela remains intact, continuing to suffocate the country’s economic recovery and undermine its sovereignty. Washington continues to exert decisive pressure over the country’s principal source of national revenue, the oil sector.

How The Purist Left Judges Venezuela From Afar

May 25, 2026 Carola Chavez, Orinoco Tribune. , , ,
I probably already wrote this article back in 2014. I could almost copy and paste any of my articles from that time, change Nicolás’s name to Delcy’s, and that would say it all. It’s like we’re back in 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016… Back to that tiresome time when the ever-ineffective, self-righteous left, watching from afar with disgust, believes it has the right to judge us. Back to the legacy experts, those who then claimed, with a mixture of indignation and remorse, that Maduro betrayed Chávez’s legacy, and who today, without mincing words, assert that Delcy betrayed Maduro’s legacy. The same ones are back with their sad, tiresome, yet always ego-reeking laments about our path.

Chavista Mobilization Repudiates US Military’s Provocative Power Projection Exercise

May 24, 2026 Orinoco Tribune. , , ,
A US power projection exercise disguised as an evacuation drill at the US Embassy in Caracas began Saturday morning. The operation, authorized by Venezuelan authorities, was allegedly aimed at refining response protocols for potential medical emergencies or catastrophic events, though anti-imperialist critics view it as a veiled act of intimidation. “Ensuring the army’s rapid response capability is a key component of mission preparedness, both here in Venezuela and around the world,” the US Embassy stated online, framing the provocative maneuver as routine administrative upkeep, and reiterating its imperialist three-phase plan for Venezuela (“stabilization, recovery, and transition”).

Betrayal In Venezuela

May 20, 2026 Margaret Kimberley, Black Agenda Report. , , , , ,
On May 16, 2026, Alex Saab, once a diplomat serving Venezuela who had already suffered imprisonment at the hands of the United States, was turned over to the United States once again. Interim president Delcy Rodriguez's action against Saab was one of treachery and should be referred to as such. The pain of seeing the Bolivarian revolution being picked apart by Donald Trump with the help of some willing participants in Venezuela is devastating to anyone who supported the rights of sovereignty and self-determination for that country and its people.

What Cannot Be Unlearned: Defense Of The Bolivarian Revolution

May 14, 2026 Cira Pascual Marquina, Resumen English. , , ,
I was recently in an assembly in the west of Caracas where communards were debating how to prioritize scarce resources. The discussion was not easy. People disagreed about whether to invest first in a water system, a productive initiative, or repairing a community space. Voices overlapped at times, arguments were made and remade, and decisions did not come quickly. From the outside, it might look like a routine and even tedious meeting. From within, it is very much something else: a collective effort to think through material life under pressure.

Venezuela’s Window Of Opportunity For Economic Recovery

April 30, 2026 Roger D. Harris, Popular Resistance. , , ,
Although progressives are rightly concerned about US-coerced compromises and concessions, it is equally important to understand the resilience and continuing successes of Venezuela’s Bolivarian Revolution. Focusing only on the half-empty aspect of the proverbial glass obscures the strength of the resistance and conceals the vulnerabilities of the imperial juggernaut. On a delegation to Venezuela, the constant refrain from both high-ranking government officials and grassroots Chavistas – supporters of the movement led by former President Hugo Chávez – was that they were urgently “buying time.”

Venezuela’s Social Transformation In The Chávez Era

April 20, 2026 Misión Verdad, Orinoco Tribune. , , ,
There are historical processes whose understanding depends, to a large extent, on the ability to preserve and reconstruct the memory of what they meant in everyday life. The period of Hugo Chávez’s government in Venezuela falls into that very category: a stage marked by social transformations that tangibly changed the conditions of access to rights for large sectors of the population. This series starts from that need for review. In a previous article, Misión Verdad addressed the economic dimension of the Bolivarian model.

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

January 9, 2026 Max Blumenthal, Scheer Post. , , ,
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.
