Venezuela - October 6th, 2018
The exodus of hunger
This is how the scam of the Bolivarian Revolution ends:
Millions of hungry exploited forced to flee the Venezuela strangled by imperialism and sold out by the government of Maduro, the bolibourgeoisie and the officer caste
It is not enough for the government of Maduro and the Boliburgeoisie to have bankrupted Venezuela and imposed ignominious conditions on the people, killing them with hunger and disciplining them with bullets with the "Bolivarian National Armed Forces" (known un Spanish as FANB), the fascist bands of the "Collectives" and with prisons full of workers and popular fighters.
The minimum wage for workers is USD 1.5 - one of the lowest on the planet - and hyperinflation and shortages are continuing to deepen. To the officers of the FANB, which control the storage and distribution of food (and the black market, of course), the government doubles the salary.
The entire industrial park is obsolete. Public health is in ruins. The sacking of the nation by imperialism and its smaller partners of the Bolivarian bourgeoisie, which fled USD 300 billion to Miami, devastated Venezuela.
Now Maduro continues his attack on the people with a package of anti-worker measures: while exempting from taxes the oil companies, increases the VAT to 16% and the price of gasoline, liquidated the unions of state workers and is on track to impose liquidation of their collective agreements; and not only cynically decrees an "increase" in the minimum wage that is only enough to eat one day, but even the government is going to subsidize the capitalists for 3 months. While it is estimated for the end of the year, an inflation rate of 14,000%!
These measures continue to guarantee the plundering of the nation through the timely payment of the fraudulent external debt to the imperialist bank and the handing over of national wealth to imperialism, as they are doing with minerals and oil to Chevron or Conocco Philips. This is sacred in "Bolivarian Venezuela" and is applauded by the MUD politicians and the rest of the bourgeois opposition that is as pro-Yankee as Maduro. The sure cry is the one that made the workers and poor peasants of Bolivia thunder against the hated Bolivarian government of the MAS of Evo Morales: "Rightists and masistas are the same crap!"
These conditions of unprecedented hardship and misery, of repression and death for the workers and the masses, have caused a real exodus due to the hunger of 2.3 million exploited, who are forced to flee Venezuela to get even a piece of bread and a sustenance for their families doing the worst jobs. 7% of the population has left in recent years! Maduro, with total cynicism, tells them: "stop washing 'pocetas' (toilets) outside and come here. Venezuela is the country of opportunities”.
On the other side of the borders, in Colombia, Peru, Brazil, etc. they are awaited by governments and regimes as anti-worker as Maduro, who, while lashing out against the conquests of their own workers, use the refugees as slave labor. There they are victims of real fascist attacks, as happened in Roraima, Brazil a month ago, encouraged by the government of Temer and the agribusiness bourgeoisie, when hundreds of exploited Venezuelans and their families were fiercely attacked and evicted from the camp they kept in the border with Venezuela.
The Venezuelan refugees join the thousands in Europe, the United States. and all over the world, escaping war, slaughter and hunger, like the Syrian refugees in Europe, fleeing the genocide of Assad-Putin-Trump, or the exploited people of sub-Saharan Africa who come to Europe. Bankrupt capitalism can not even feed its slaves, so it deserves to die.
The barbarity imposed on the Venezuelan masses is a real lesson against the workers and exploited in Latin America, to accept the plans that are imposed by all governments and regimes on behalf of Yankee imperialism. In the commercial war against its imperialist rivals, USA tread Latin America and says 'America for the Americans'.
Given the plans of Trump and the Wall Street pirates who come to everything in their "backyard", in a real offensive to recolonize Latin America, Maduro kneels, like Lula in Brazil, and as a real "lemon squeezed" sells out Venezuela to imperialism. The boliburgeoisie withdraw from the historical scene killing of hunger and shots to the people at the service of imperialism, not only in Venezuela, but also in Nicaragua and Bolivia, where Ortega and Morales prove to be equal or worse than Temer, Macri or Piñera. Let's not talk about the new Cuban bourgeoisie of the CP, which after giving the island to imperialism, legalized private property in the new constitution of capitalist Cuba. This is the farce of the Bolivarian Revolution: imperialist plunder and hunger and repression against the workers!
The decline of the productive sectors in Venezuela and the barbarism that has been imposed on Venezuelan workers is the price that the IMF and the transnationals make the nation pay to continue sucking every last drop of their resources and maintaining their fabulous profits. The sidereal indebtedness of PDVSA, the obsolete state of the entire industrial park, the collapse of the electric infrastructure, transport and all services, are examples of this. But above all the situation of the main productive force of society, the work force of man, where the unemployment rate does not stop rising, where extreme poverty increased from 23.6% to 61.2% in four years and almost 10 % only in 2016-17 is what clearly shows that neither of the two classes has given a way out to the current catastrophe: neither the bourgeoisie as a direct agent and lackey of imperialism, nor the working class, betrayed by its directions, and submitted to the bourgeois variants.
The more the social crisis and barbarism deepen, and the Venezuelan proletariat continues to be subjected to the bourgeois variants, the more the road to counterrevolution and Bonapartist blows is prepared. Even Trump threatens an invasion as he has stated, in the General Assembly of the United Nations "all options are on the table". "All of them, the strong and the less strong, all the options, and you know what I mean by strong", Thus, pretends to be "democratic" by saying to be "restore democracy" in the country, when in reality What he wants is to keep PDVSA and all the resources of the nation.
Out with Maduro and the scam of the "Bolivarian revolution"!
Yankees Go Home! Out with the IMF!
Step to the Caracazo!
We must expropriate the expropriators so that the people eat!
Provisional revolutionary workers and popular government , based on the organisms of self-determination of the armed masses!
The renegades of Trotskyism are enemies of proposing that the only way out for workers and exploited in Venezuela is to return to the Caracazo road. Currents such as PSL (UIT-CI) say that it is necessary to "coordinate the struggles to convene a large march to Caracas and a great national strike against the government", wanting to take the workers and exploited to an economic and union struggle when in Venezuela in ruins the only possibility of eating is with the revolutionary struggle of the masses, overthrowing the government and expropriating the expropriators.
There is also the case of the LTS, the satellite group of the Argentine PTS in Venezuela, which advocates "worker and popular control of prices, distribution and production and the economy as a whole". Yesterday they proposed "a movement to demand the non-payment of the external debt" in a peaceful manner; today they say that it is possible to conquer the "workers control of the whole economy", without disarming and crushing the officer caste of the Armed Forces. and the "Chavez collectives"!
No more lies! The bankruptcy of Venezuela, plundered by imperialism and sold oput by the boliburgeoisie and its officer caste, shows that the only alternative and the most immediate task is the struggle for socialist revolution.
In Guayana the workers of the nationalized companies, Ferrominera del Orinoco, Venalum Corpoelec, Sidor and other companies of that industrial region go on the fight with strikes, pickets and mobilizations against the public administration tabulator that they applied and that refuse to accept since it involves the liquidation of collective labor agreements and the reduction of their already meager salaries. Long live the struggle of the workers of Guayana! The working class must re-weigh on the national scene!
Down with Maduro and the regime of the Bolivarian Constitution! May the Caracazo return!
For the people to eat: No to the payment of the external debt! We must break with imperialism! We must expropriate the capitalists, the bankers and the oligarchy without payment and under workers' control! Immediate rupture of all delivery agreements to the transnationals of PDVSA and the Mining Arc!
Dissolution of the officer caste of the FANB! For committees of ordinary soldiers and the workers and popular militia!
Freedom to Rodney Álvarez and all the workers and popular fighters!
We are all Venezuelan refugees! Papers and full rights of citizenship, labor and union for all Venezuelan refugees and all immigrant workers! From all the combative workers organizations of the continent we must raise these demands as a fight flag, along with decent work and equal work, equal salary for all. For self-defense committees to defend immigrant workers from attacks by the police and fascist gangs!
The power of the exploited must be put in place... By consumer and supply committees, factory and establishment committees elected in assemblies, by committees of the unemployed, by committees of private soldiers to dismiss the murderous officers!
Enough of that scam of the Bolivarian Revolution!
For a workers and socialist Venezuela without generals, bosses or imperialist bankers!
