But we need your help! Being an independent outlet, we are entirely reliant on support from readers like you. A $10, $20 or $30 a month contribution goes a long way to sustain our grassroots journalism.

So please consider backing our efforts. No donation is too small! With an environmental crisis and pandemic exposing the ugly shortcomings of global capitalism, one thing is clear enough. The answer is solidarity, not sanctions!

ARGIMIRO GABALDÓN: A LEGACY OF GUERRILLA AND CAMPESINO STRUGGLES IN VENEZUELA

From a very young age, and growing up in a rural environment, Gabaldón became close to campesinos, listening to their stories and struggles. This camaraderie would help him understand the reality of the country’s deep social inequality and oppression, first under cruel military dictatorships and later at the hands of US-backed right-wing governments (1958-1998).

“The lessons from workers and friends prevailed in ‘Chimiro’ [childhood nickname] over the lessons from books. He preferred the knowledge of the people,” reads the biographical book An encounter with Argimiro Gabaldón, Commander Carache by the Cuba-Venezuela Solidarity Committee.

VENEZUELAN CAMPESINOS RECEIVE LAND TITLES, CELEBRATE HISTORIC SANTA INÉS BATTLE

Former Foreign Minister Jorge Arreaza also attended the Santa Inés commemorative event, where he delivered the land noscripts and visited different areas. On Monday, the ruling United Socialist Party (PSUV) announced that the high-profile official would be the candidate for the re-run of the Barinas governor election on January 9, 2022.

"It is a privilege to hear criticism, to be interpellated and feel the love of these giants of resistance and dignity. With the people's wisdom, we will find definitive solutions [to rural issues]," Arreaza wrote on social media.

VENEZUELA PUSHES FOR STRONGER ALBA ECONOMY AT XX SUMMIT

The Venezuelan government has called on the Bolivarian Alternative for the Peoples of Our America (ALBA-TCP) to draw up “commercial, financial and monetary plans” to strengthen post-pandemic economic development.

The proposal came during ALBA’s XX Summit in Havana, Cuba on Tuesday. The gathering likewise commemorated seventeen years since Hugo Chávez and Fidel Castro founded the multilateral organization in 2004. It followed the XIX Summit held earlier this year in Caracas.

THE VENEZUELANALYSIS PODCAST EPISODE 04: ANTI-IMPERIALIST MEDIA STRIKES BACK

Today more than ever, it is critical to support anti-imperialist media.

With recent victories by the left in Nicaragua, Venezuela, and Honduras, US Imperialism is nervous. The response by the US Department of State to these recent elections in Latin America, discrediting the first two and only reluctantly embracing the latter, is proof that neo-colonial domination over the region remains very much at the center of US foreign policy.

On today’s program, we’re going to take a look at what goes into producing anti-imperialist media that is capable of striking back against the Empire.

VENEZUELA PUSHES FOR STRONGER ALBA ECONOMY AT XX SUMMIT

The ALBA Summit went on to take aim at US intervention in the region, blasting the “genocidal” blockade against Cuba and the “massive, flagrant and systematic violation of human rights” through unilateral coercive measures against a number of the alliance’s members.

“Not even a thousand sanctions will defeat the dignity of the Venezuelan, Nicaraguan and Cuban people,” said Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel at the meeting.

From Cuba, ALBA Executive Secretary Sacha Llorenti unveiled a Counter-Intervention Observatory which will reportedly look to “periodically analyze the role of non-governmental organizations and funding in destabilizing efforts,” as well as study how the “neoliberal coercive measures” are being levied against member nations.

DEMOCRATIC PRODUCTION AND SELF-ORGANIZED LABOR: HOW THE CHE GUEVARA COMMUNE CONFRONTS THE CRISIS (PART II)

The Che Guevara Commune lies on the fertile hillsides that rise up from the shores of Lake Maracaibo in western Venezuela. Historically this has been a cocoa-growing region but in more recent years coffee, sugar cane, and pineapple have also become important cash crops.

In Part I of this three-part series, we looked at the Che Guevara Commune’s creative responses to the challenges thrown up by the sanctions, which include the application of a new fuel-saving technology and developing their own currency.

In Part II, we learn about the democratic organization of labor in the Che Guevara Commune’s two main productive units.

DEMOCRATIC PRODUCTION AND SELF-ORGANIZED LABOR: HOW THE CHE GUEVARA COMMUNE CONFRONTS THE CRISIS (PART II)

"The Che Guevara EPS has fifteen workers. We are organized in four areas: administration, comptrollership, production management, and education.

However, more important than the structure of the organization, is that there is no president, no manager, no boss. Decisions are made collectively with equal participation from all workers. All important decisions – from allocating resources to solving problems or accepting (or not) a large order – go through the assembly. We decide all important matters together.

VENEZUELA: OIL OUTPUT CONTINUES UPWARD SWING AS IRAN CALLS FOR GREATER COOPERATION

Venezuela has steadily grown its oil production to end the year while strengthening alliances with Iran looking ahead to 2022.

The Caribbean country pumped 625,000 barrels per day (bpd) in November, 15,000 bpd up from October, as measured by secondary sources in the latest Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) report. For its part, state oil company PDVSA registered a much higher 824,000 bpd figure, a 68,000 bpd rise from the previous month. The Venezuelan government had set a one million bpd target for the end of the year.

UK GOLD RULING BASED ON 'ILLEGAL INTERFERENCE' IN VENEZUELA

The United Kingdom’s highest court issued a ruling on Monday favoring opposition figure Juan Guaidó and his efforts to wrest control of US$1.7 billion worth of Venezuelan gold stored at the Bank of England (BoE).

The Monday decision is the latest episode in the legal struggle by the democratically-elected Nicolás Maduro government to regain access to the reserves. Following what the court described as the “one voice principle”, the court ruled that under the UK’s constitutional arrangements political recognition of foreign states falls to the country’s executive.

VENEZUELA: OIL OUTPUT CONTINUES UPWARD SWING AS IRAN CALLS FOR GREATER COOPERATION

With Iranian assistance reviving Venezuela’s production, exports have also ticked up in recent months. PDVSA’s export average has risen to 500,000 bpd over the year, with China as the main facilitator and final destination for the Venezuelan crude trade. According to documents seen by Reuters, the growing oil revenues will fund 61 percent of the country’s 2022 budget. However, no government official has specified financial sources for next year’s plan.

On December 14, Venezuela’s National Assembly (AN) approved the 2022 budget for a total amount of 62 billion bolívares (around US $13 billion), some 60 percent higher than the 2021 equivalent. During the annual plan presentation, Vice President Delcy Rodríguez explained that 77 percent of resources will be allocated for social programs.
