On today's (Wednesday, September 10, 2008) VHeadline Venezuela Newshour broadcast on the American Voice Radio Network (AVRN), anchorman John Sanchez and VHeadline editor Roy S. Carson will speak with Welsh-born Trotskyist politician and writer Alan Woods, who is one of the leading members of the International Marxist Tendency and editor of 'the "In Defence of Marxism" website. Alan was born into a working-class family with a strong Communist tradition. At the age of 16 he joined the Young Socialists and became a Marxist joining the Militant Tendency within the Labour Party. He studied Russian at Sussex University (UK) and later in Sofia (Bulgaria) and at the Moscow State University (MGU). He, his wife and two small daughters, moved to Spain in the early 1970s, where he participated in the struggle against the Franco dictatorship. He speaks several languages, including Italian, English, Spanish, French, German and Russian. In the early 1990s Woods and his mentor, Ted Grant, split from the Militant Tendency and its parent organization, the Committee for a Workers International, over what they considered to be the ultra-left turn of this organization. Grant and Woods and their supporters internationally formed the Committee for a Marxist International in 1992, which was later to be known as the International Marxist Tendency. He was the editor for some years of the Marxist journal Socialist Appeal, published in London, which is now edited by Mick Brooks.

Venezuela is facing the most difficult period of its history with honest reporters crippled by sectarianism on top of rampant corruption within the administration and beyond, aided and abetted by criminal forces in the US and Spanish governments which cannot accept the sovereignty of the Venezuelan people to decide over their own future.
