  • Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela to reject U.S. deportation flights

    (Archived link.)

    >An economic dispute between the U.S. and Venezuela is creating yet another instance of vulnerable migrants being used as bargaining chips. The situation has to do with economic sanctions levied by the U.S. in retaliation against Venezuela allegedly failing to fulfill terms of an agreement, which in turn has led Venezuela to threaten to reject deportation flights from the U.S. No word on whether either country cares about the best or most humanitarian solution for the migrants themselves. > >The U.S. will try to take the moral high ground on this matter, but the negotiations over the border bill show that seemingly no one in power is above using vulnerable people for political gain at the expense of those vulnerable people.

However, many consider Milei an Argentine variant of his pro-fascist Brazilian neighbor, former President João Bolsonaro, or even of Donald

    Argentina: Milei’s war on workers met with general strike

    >Milei’s honeymoon with the Argentine masses — if he had one — came to an abrupt end on Jan. 24. Argentina’s union movement called a general strike that day. Tens of thousands of workers took to the streets in Buenos Aires and each of Argentina’s major cities. Hundreds of thousands more participated in the strike, and thousands in many world capitals held solidarity actions. > >! >Hundreds of thousands of workers protest the new president in Argentina. Buenos Aires, Jan. 25, 2024. > >The call to strike was made by the General Confederation of Labor (CGT), an umbrella organization larger than any other union or union federation in the country. At times, its leadership has represented the interest of the workers. At other times, its leaders have collaborated with neoliberal administrations and cut deals in the interests of the ruling class. > >But, in this instance, the CGT has placed itself firmly on the side of the workers in its unwavering opposition to Milei and his disastrous so-called “reforms.” > >Many in the opposition to Milei have condemned the strike, even though it was called with the hope of blocking Milei’s war on the workers. From the anti-Milei Peronist coalition to the smaller capitalists who are most threatened by Milei’s policies, the élites of Argentina have demanded the CGT cease striking. (Peronist refers to the political tendencies identified with late Argentine President Juan Peron.) > >This is a textbook example of how contradicting interests within the bourgeoisie can temporarily come together. Even when they disagree, no portion of the ruling class sincerely wants to empower the people — and certainly not the working class. > >Yes, large swaths of the capitalist class oppose Milei, while other portions fervently support him, but they are all in accord that a united working class expressing solidarity and exercising its strength is forbidden. Nevertheless, the will of the people cannot be held back forever. Even a united ruling class cannot easily impose its will on a united and combative working class. > >[…] > >As always, supporting the free market means more freedom for corporations to exploit, not freedom for the workers themselves.

    Panamá, 60 años del 9 de Enero de 1964

    >El 9 de Enero fue una revolución popular victoriosa (aunque su materialización demorara en el tiempo) que nos heredó la descolonización de la Zona del Canal, la desaparición de las bases militares y el traspaso de la administración del canal a Panamá. Sus efectos nos llegan hasta hoy, cuando la bonanza económica que se vive tiene su fundamento principal en la reversión del canal y el aumento de sus aportes a la economía nacional, aunque sean cuestionables los criterios que se están utilizando para repartir sus beneficios. > >El 20 de Diciembre, en cambio, el imperialismo yanqui pudo imponernos el régimen económico neoliberal que había fracasado con Barletta, disfrazándolo de “democrático”. La invasión permitió al imperialismo norteamericano reimplantar el régimen tutelado y oligárquico de antes del 68, incluso manejaron la posibilidad de la permanencia de bases militares disfrazadas de combate a las drogas (CMA de Pérez Balladares), pero fracasaron ante la movilización popular. Aunque luego han impuesto acuerdos de seguridad más sutiles. > >La invasión también hizo posible mediatizar el triunfo del 9 de Enero con un Título Constitucional y una Ley Orgánica que convirtió la Autoridad del Canal de Panamá (ACP) en una entidad controlada por la oligarquía que no luchó por la soberanía (los nuevos zonians) y de la que pueblo quedó excluido, hasta ahora. > >Superar los efectos negativos de la invasión para que el pueblo panameño pueda recibir una proporción mayor de los beneficios que genera el canal, requerirá la estructuración de un gran movimiento de carácter antiimperialista, antineoliberal, democrático y popular que asuma el poder político para sacar del poder a la oligarquía vendepatria.

    Panamá 60 years after January 9, 1964

    >Jan. 9 was a victorious popular revolution (although it took a long time to materialize) that left us with the decolonization of the Canal Zone, the disappearance of the military bases and the transfer of the administration of the canal to Panamá. Its effects still reach us today, as the economic bonanza that we are experiencing has its main foundation in the reversion of the canal and the increase of its contributions to the national economy, even though the criteria being used to distribute its benefits are questionable. > >On the other hand, on Dec. 20, 1989, Yankee [neo]imperialism was able to impose on us the neoliberal economic régime that had failed under [former President Ardito] Barletta, disguising it as “democratic.” The invasion allowed U.S. [neo]imperialism to reimpose the controlled and oligarchic régime of pre-1968; they even managed the possibility of the permanence of military bases disguised as a fight against drugs [Multilateral Anti-drugs Center or CMA of former President Ernesto] Perez Balladares, but they failed in the face of popular mobilization. Although, later, they imposed more subtle security agreements. > >The invasion also made it possible to partly reverse the triumph of Jan. 9, 1964, with a Constitutional Title and an Organic Law that turned the Panamá Canal Authority (ACP) into an entity controlled by the oligarchy that did not fight for sovereignty (the new Zonians [U.S. citizens residing in the Canal Zone]) and from which the people remained excluded, until now. > >Overcoming the negative effects of the invasion so that the Panamanian people can receive a greater share of the benefits generated by the canal will require the structuring of a great anti-imperialist, anti-neoliberal, democratic and popular movement that will assume political power to remove the sell out oligarchy from power.

    Ya está fuera de los titulares. Pero su mensaje sigue vigente. Hablamos de los artefactos incendiarios que los terroristas lanzaron contra la Embajada de Cuba en Washington, D.C. El mensaje es obvio: hay algo fuera de lugar si el Estado canalla más peligroso del mundo -con sede en Washington- pue

    Haz que las bombas incendiarias contra Cuba hagan boomerang

    >Es un crimen que se puedan lanzar bombas incendiarias contra la embajada cubana. Es una admisión de la participación oficial de Estados Unidos en este crimen que nadie haya sido capturado. Pero no es ni mucho menos el peor crimen que el imperialismo yanqui ha cometido contra el pueblo cubano. Bloquear la economía cubana, calumniar a Cuba de “terrorista” es un crimen mucho peor. > >El año pasado, cuando la Asamblea General de las Naciones Unidas votó sobre el levantamiento del bloqueo a Cuba, el levantamiento del bloqueo ganó, por 185 a 2. Sólo [una neocolonia] se unió a Estados Unidos para votar en contra de Cuba. Dos Estados canallas. Y los gobiernos de los otros 185 países están convencidos de que es un disparate llamar a Cuba un estado terrorista. > >Así que si el ataque a la embajada cubana ha llamado más la atención sobre la flagrante mentira utilizada para hacer sufrir al pueblo cubano, utilicemos esa atención para movilizarnos y conseguir que Cuba sea eliminada de la lista. Ya existe una petición para exigir precisamente eso. Ya ha recorrido más de un tercio del camino hacia el objetivo de un millón de firmas.

    China and Venezuela to Establish ‘All-Weather Strategic Partnership’

    >Following Wednesday’s presidential meeting, Maduro and Xi supervised the signing of 31 bilateral cooperation documents focused on boosting collaboration in areas from oil, scientific development and tourism to “enriching the variety of trade goods.” > >The main agreements include [the People’s Republic of] China’s support in the construction of [the Bolivarian Republic of] Venezuela’s special economic zones (SEZs), poverty reduction efforts and boosting the South American nation’s national electric grid, significantly strained due to a years-long lack of investment. > >The allied nations likewise signed an agreement between China Meheco pharmaceutical company and Venezuela’s public health system to transfer technology and knowledge for the maintenance of medical equipment, to build and remodel hospital facilities, as well as to supply medicines and materials to the Caribbean country. > >In a special broadcast of his weekly program from China, Maduro went on to highlight that Caracas will begin exporting agricultural products such as coffee and avocados to the Chinese market. > >One aspect of the new China-Venezuela alliance that caught international headlines was the agreement for space exploration, which will “take the first Venezuelan man or woman to the moon on board a Chinese spacecraft,” said President Maduro. In July, Venezuela became the first Latin American country to join the China-led International Lunar Research Station (ILRS) to build a base near the moon’s south pole within the next decade. > >Additionally, Caracas and Beijing agreed to deepen cooperation between legislative bodies and advance collaboration in industrial, green and sustainable development, mining projects, digital economy, culture and education exchange.

    www.workers.org Haiti: U.N. sanctioned occupation is a done deal

    The U.S. government has finally found a country in the Global South willing to lead a U.N.-approved intervention “to assist Haitian police in restoring security.” Secretary of State Antony Blinken confirmed Aug. 1 on X (formerly Twitter): “We commend the government of Kenya for responding to Haiti’s

    Haiti: U.N. sanctioned occupation is a done deal

    >Haitian popular organizations quickly expressed opposition to the new intervention. > >As chair of the U.N. Security Council for August, the U.S. intends to hold a vote authorizing Kenya to send 1,000 police officers to Haiti towards the end of August and to lead a multilateral force now being formed. > >These Kenyan police will not be under U.N. command. The U.N. has zero popular support in Haiti; it introduced cholera into Haiti twice, and its troops have a reputation for brutal treatment of Haitian protesters. > >The cost of U.N. operations in Haiti from June 2004 to October 2017 was estimated at $7 billion, and Haiti still is the most underdeveloped country in the Western Hemisphere.

  • Minor point: the grammar on the comm name is wrong

    In romance languages, the adjective usually comes after the noun, unlike in English where it comes before. A proper way to write it in Spanish/Portuguese would be "América Latina" as América is also a grammatically female noun. (And "Amérique latine" in that other language). I'm not sure if it is some sort of reference that I just missed, but I figured it'd be better to point it out in case it was just a simple mistake. If the intent was instead to have "Latino" be the noun, it'd be more correct as "Latino Americano" or "Latinoamericano".
