Fast forward to 1998 and #Chavez reverses the 16%-84% royalty arrangement with foreign oil bastards, and keeps the bigger number, for the #Bolivarian Revolution, and doesn't get invaded (until that failed weekend coup) because he kept selling oil to mairikkka.

"#Venezuela’s acting leader, in an address to the nation on Sunday, said there were “#Zionist undertones” to the #US military’s capture of President #NicolásMaduro.

#DelcyRodriguez, a vice president under #Maduro who is now the interim leader, has demanded the “immediate release” of Maduro and his wife, #CiliaFlores, since they were captured by U.S. forces on Saturday. Maduro and #Flores were flown to #NewYorkCity, where they are expected to appear in federal court on drug-trafficking and other charges on Monday.

“Governments around the world are simply shocked that the #Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela is the victim and target of an attack of this nature, which undoubtedly has Zionist undertones,” #Rodriguez said in the televised address. “It is truly shameful.”

Venezuela’s acting leader says ‘Zionist undertones’ marked US capture of Maduro

The accusation drew on years of anti-Israel rhetoric from Caracas.

"What was important about the Venezuelan approach is that, unlike #Zapatismo and other contemporary movements that had largely set aside the question of state power, the #Bolivarian movement actually took political power in 1999. From there, it went forward using both transformed state power and grassroots construction in the pursuit of the project of national liberation that it called the Second and True Independence."

Monthly Review | A Special Issue on Communes in Socialist Construction

Inspired by the Venezuelan project of building socialism via the commune, this special issue looks at attempts to use communal models in socialist projects in a range of different contexts…

委内瑞拉全民公决之后 - 南美是否存在战争风险?

在周日举行的关于委内瑞拉埃塞奎博地区问题的全民公决中,根据政府的数据,97%以上的人投票赞成 “该地区属于委内瑞拉“。结果难以理解也没法核实,但这一结果似乎高得太离谱了。委内瑞拉总统尼古拉斯·马杜罗宣布委内瑞拉第24个州成立: 圭亚那-埃塞奎博。

目前尚不清楚后续步骤,但马杜罗宣布了一系列措施,这些措施应能促进埃塞奎博融入委内瑞拉。这包括为该地区设立高级专员,为该地区居民提供公民身份,以及之前的军事步骤。

部队已经进入国际公认的边境地区。与圭亚那和委内瑞拉接壤的巴西也增加了军事存在。

回复 ——

2015年,圭亚那大陆架发现石油,委内瑞拉毒品政权对圭亚那合作共和国的兴趣及其对该地区的历史主张变得更加强烈。美国埃克森美孚公司参与了开发,今年前8个月,Stabroek区块的总产量开始达到可观的 38万桶/天,Liza2区块达到 23万桶/天,预计到明年年中,Payara区块还将生产22万桶。总计每天不到一百万桶,几乎相当于委内瑞拉的总产量。

顺理成章的是,黑手党们在扼杀了自己的经济后,开始饶有兴趣地关注起步过于顺利的成功邻国。

冲突的原因是两国没有就边界(包括海上边界)划定达成一致,于是今年9月举行的近海地区分配拍卖启动了企图吞并他人领土的进程。

与此同时,圭亚那是英联邦的成员,英联邦是由以前属于大英帝国的国家组成的国际组织。英联邦国家在法律上没有互相帮助的义务,但如果其中一个国家试图吞并另一个国家的领土,则意味着至少会与前大都会发生冲突。

但玻利瓦尔毒品国家在各方面的处境都十分艰难,黑手党很可能愿意赌一把。当然,一切都可能比较平淡无奇,因此委内瑞拉国有公司PDVSA只是想参与该项目分一杯羹。顺便说,委内瑞拉其实已经分到一些了,但对黑帮来说这份额有点太小,他们想要再增加一些。
