Venezuela’s problems prove nothing except that resource economies are vulnerable and that the world system and super power are hostile to socialistsThis article provide a much needed simplification of this volatile situation that festers amid hype, demagoguery and hysteria. I am very sad for the Venezuelan people and I do not blame the Bolivian Revolution. I do not excuse their petty corruptions but they did many good things that will now be lost. They tried to do the right thing and were beaten by the world for trying.
A Quick Note On Venezuela | Ian Welsh:
If you want a more in depth view of what they might have done to succeed I recommend Ian's other article called Seven Rules for Running a Real Left-Wing Government | Ian Welsh: It is not about Venezuela specifically but it innumerate what a revolution would have to do to beat the odds in a global capitalist world and as you might guess the odds are nearly insurmountable. What we are left with is lighting a candle in rememberance of a heroic chapter in South American history.
