The Far Right Goes To War Against Women

March 13, 2026 Vijay Prashad, Tricontinental Institute for Social Research. Strategize! Feminism, Income disparity, Latin America, Women

Across Latin America, a strange war has been declared. It is fought not only in parliaments and courts but in classrooms, kitchens, churches, and the restless spaces of the internet. Its targets are women, queer and trans people, and the movements that insist life can be lived differently. The contemporary far right of a special type claims to defend the patriarchal family, morality, and tradition. But beneath these words lies another project: the restoration of old hierarchies at a moment when the world that sustained them is trembling. For decades, feminist movements have unsettled the foundations of power in Latin America.

Trump’s New Tool For Hemispheric Military Coordination

March 11, 2026 Pablo Meriguet, People's Dispatch. Educate! Latin America, Militarization, Rightwing Politics, Trump Administration, US Imperialism

This past weekend, the Trump administration secured an alliance with its partners in Latin America and the Caribbean. The so-called “Shield of the Americas” is an alliance between 13 countries in the Americas to undertake intelligence, security, and even military actions aimed at preserving US hegemony, which could be threatened by other world powers. The creation of the alliance was agreed upon during the “Shield of the Americas” Summit held this past weekend in Doral, Florida. Regarding the alliance, the US State Department declared: “This historic coalition of nations will work together to advance strategies that stop foreign interference in our hemisphere, criminal and narco-terrorist gangs and cartels, and illegal and mass immigration.”

Cuban President Denounces ‘Small Reactionary And Neocolonial Summit’

March 9, 2026 Resumen English. Educate! Cuba, Latin America, Militarization, Right-Wing, Trump Administration

“An attack on the Proclamation of Latin America and the Caribbean as a Zone of Peace, an attack on the aspirations for regional integration, and a manifestation of the willingness to subordinate oneself to the interests of the powerful neighbor to the north under the precepts of the Monroe Doctrine.” The First Secretary of the Communist Party of Cuba and President of the Republic, Miguel Díaz-Canel Bermúdez, denounced on his X account the Shield of the Americas summit, which is being held under the auspices of the US president.

Trump’s Allies To Gather In Miami For ‘Shield Of The Americas’ Summit

March 6, 2026 Pablo Meriguet, People's Dispatch. Educate! Argentina, Caribbean, Daniel Noboa, Donald Trump, Drug Trafficking, Ecuador, Javier Milei, Latin America, United States, US Imperialism

As the United States and Israel wage war against the peoples of Iran, Lebanon, Iraq, and the peoples of the region, the Trump administration seeks to secure its dominance in the Americas. On March 7 in Doral, Florida (part of the Miami metropolitan area), the Trump administration will host a summit entitled “Shield of the Americas”. Although its organizers claim that the summit seeks to strengthen ties between the US and the rest of the countries in the region, it appears that powerful countries such as Mexico, Colombia, Peru, and Brazil will not be in attendance. The participation of Venezuela, Uruguay, Guatemala, and Nicaragua has also not been confirmed.

The Caribbean People’s Debt To Cuba

February 27, 2026 Tamanisha J. John and Kevin Edmonds, Black Agenda Report. Strategize! Cuba, Latin America, Revolution, Solidarity

What we are seeing across the Caribbean in 2025-2026 is a total absence of political and moral leadership, specifically in regards to the failure of elected officials and prominent regional organizations like the Caribbean Community (CARICOM), to speak out against the criminal blockade and embargo of Cuba, and the imperialist attacks against Venezuela – which includes the violation of Venezuela’s sovereignty that resulted in the kidnapping of the Venezuelan President, Nicolás Maduro, and First Lady, Cilia Flores by the United States (US).

Laura Dogu And Washington’s Regime-Change Playbook

February 13, 2026 Roger D. Harris and John Perry, Popular Resistance. Educate! Latin America, Laura Dogu, Monroe Doctrine, US coups

Laura Dogu, newly appointed US envoy to Venezuela, is described by the Los Angeles Times as an appropriate choice because she “navigated crises” in Nicaragua and Honduras during periods of “social and political volatility.” What the LA Times fails to add is that it was precisely Dogu’s job to create crisis and volatility in both countries. In Latin America she is widely regarded, for good reason, as the “US ambassador of interventions and coups.” The LA Times appears entirely relaxed about a US diplomat’s job being to meddle in the internal politics of a country whose president the US has just kidnapped in an operation resulting in the murder over 100 people and involving the bombing of key public buildings and health facilities.

Latin America Pushes Back Against US Intervention

January 31, 2026 Medea Benjamin, Scheer Post. Podcast – WTF is Going on in Latin America & the Caribbean, Strategize! Donroe Doctrine, Latin America, US Imperialism, Wars and Militarism

When Senator Tim Kaine told Secretary of State Marco Rubio at a recent Senate hearing on Venezuela that the administration’s announcement of a new Monroe Doctrine “does not land well in the Americas,” he was putting it mildly. I just returned from an emergency gathering in Bogotá on January 24-25 with about 90 delegates from 20 countries, where speaker after speaker denounced the open revival of this doctrine — and its companion, the so-called Trump Corollary or “Donroe Doctrine” based on raw coercion— as a blatant, illegal, and reprehensible interference in their internal affairs.

Progressive Activists, Officials Condemn Venezuela Attacks

Delegates from governments, parliaments, and social movements across the globe gathered in Bogotá, Colombia, on January 25 for the inaugural “Nuestra América” summit. Convened by the Progressive International at the San Carlos Palace, the emergency congress aimed to establish a unified strategy against what participants described as a “rapidly escalating assault” on Latin American sovereignty. The high-level meeting, featuring 90 people from more than 20 countries, took place against a backdrop of heightened regional tensions and the Trump administration’s express intent to impose its dictates in the Western hemisphere.

The Yankee Empire Is In Irreversible Decline

January 22, 2026 Pablo Meriguet and Zoe Alexandra, People's Dispatch. Strategize! Caribbean, Cuba, Latin America, US Imperialism

Three weeks later, the ramifications of the unprecedented US attack on Venezuela continue to reverberate. The military action in itself provoked nearly unanimous condemnation among experts in international diplomacy and law and has also been a tremendous source of pain for the families of the more than 100 people killed in the nearly two-hour operation on South American territory. The illegal operation also sparked concerns about the consequences that such a unilateral measure taken by Washington will have on the region and on global geopolitics.

Here’s Every Time The US Has Coup’ed Latin America

January 7, 2026 Lee Camp, Substack. Educate! History, Latin America, Monroe Doctrine, US coups, US Imperialism

I thought this column was only going to take me a minute. The idea was simple: Slap down a list of all the times the US government (and the slime molds who control the US government) perpetrated or facilitated coups, kidnappings, assassinations, and plane landings (really fast into the side of a mountain) in Latin America since about 1950. The slapping down of said list ended up taking me several hours, and the list certainly isn’t exhaustive and doesn’t include a lot of things it probably should but some of those things are debatable. …But it’s a list.

Trump Attack On Venezuela Is Part Of Imperial ‘Donroe Doctrine’

January 5, 2026 Ben Norton, Geopolitical Economy. Resistance Report Donroe Doctrine, Latin America, Trump Administration, US Imperialism, Venezuela

The United States has launched a full-frontal attack not only against Venezuela, but against all of Latin America — and even against the basic concept of sovereignty. Donald Trump ordered the US military on January 3 to bomb Venezuela, to kidnap its constitutional President Nicolás Maduro, and to send him to New York to be subjected to a show trial on politically motivated charges. This brazen assault on Venezuela is part of a larger US imperialist offensive in Latin America as a whole. The Trump administration has openly invoked the 202-year-old colonial Monroe Doctrine, and has updated it for the 21st century, proudly dubbing it the “Donroe Doctrine”.

Cold War 2.0: Washington Is Escalating Strategy To Dominate Latin America

January 4, 2026 Ben Norton, Scheer Post. Educate! Donald Trump, Latin America, US Imperialism, Venezuela

The US attack on Venezuela is part of a larger US imperialist assault on all of Latin America. This is the US empire’s plan. It was spelled out clearly in the Trump administration’s 2025 National Security Strategy. The US seeks to forcibly impose its hegemony in the entire western hemisphere, reviving the colonial Monroe Doctrine (now known as the “Donroe Doctrine”). The plan is for US corporations to control all of the region’s strategic natural resources, including critical minerals and rare earth elements. The US wants to create a new supply chain in the western hemisphere that cuts out China, to prepare for future conflict with Beijing.

China / United States – Latin America And The Caribbean

January 1, 2026 Sergio Rodriguez Gelfenstein, Workers World. Create! Caribbean, China, Development, Foreign Relations, Latin America

As if by fate and unplanned twists of history, at the very moment that Trump was threatening Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) and Marco Rubio was making clear his conviction that the Western Hemisphere is Washington’s property, thus reviving the Monroe Doctrine and its Trump corollary for the 21st century, the government of the People’s Republic of China released its third document on its foreign policy toward the region. In 2008, the Chinese government published the first Document on China’s Policy Toward Latin America and the Caribbean, in which it set out the objective of establishing a China-LAC Comprehensive Cooperation Partnership based on equality, mutual benefit and joint development.

Year 2025 In Review For Latin America And The Caribbean

December 31, 2025 Roger D. Harris and John Perry, Popular Resistance. Educate! Donroe Doctrine, Fascism, Latin America, Pink Tide, Right wing politics, US Imperialism

2025 saw progressive governments in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) delegitimized and displaced. Right-wing forces have seized on drug-related crises to attack the so-called Pink Tide governments, driving a reactionary backwash and putting new, neoliberal administrations in power. The irony is that the rise in drug use and crime is driven by neoliberalism’s failure to meet social needs. But this has been successfully cloaked. A further irony is that governments with the strongest records in limiting the social damage caused by illegal narcotics have been the principal targets of US destabilization campaigns.

The History And Future Of Latin America’s Engagement On Palestine

December 26, 2025 Maria Landi, Mondoweiss. Strategize! colonization, International Solidarity, Latin America, Palestine

I wrote this article when Israel’s genocide in Palestine was in its most ruthless phase (June–July 2025). As I wrote it, I felt rage, helplessness, and despair. I went to bed every night with the accounts of the ongoing horror and woke up in the morning to news of hundreds more dead. I saw corpses wrapped in blankets or shrouds piled up in mass graves and small children with their skulls or chests pierced by bullets, their bodies mutilated or emaciated, ravaged by hunger, dehydration, and infection. Like the millions of people around the world who care deeply for Palestine, over the past two years what has kept me going is an obsessive search for a way to stop this genocide before the Palestinian people are exterminated in their own land.
