"If the United States ... attacks Venezuela and tries to harm us, we will have to make the decision not to send a single drop of our oil to the United States,' Chavez said during a televised speech from the oil project Exxon once ran. For years, the leftist leader has warned he could halt oil exports to its principal customer, but he has never carried out the threat. Venezuela last week cut commercial ties with Exxon to protest the legal assault. The escalating conflict between Exxon and the OPEC nation helped lift oil prices by nearly $US4 to more than $US95 dollars per barrel.

But since the bolivarians have been building up the middle and upper classes these past years in order to buy "class peace" on-the-cheap, they now have a still-powerful internal enemy to deal with -- one which is loyal to foreign imperialism, and not to even their own people. So much for the fruits of 'identity' politics -- nationalism, race, religion, etc.
ReplyDeletePoint is: you can't buy revolution on the cheap. And so yet again, social-democrats -- i.e. the bolivarian leadership -- have misled the working-class and the peasants. Victory here against imperialism can only be won by reliance on the working and peasant classes, in internationalist solidarity with the workers and peasants around the planet.
