Solidarity With Venezuelan Workers!
After months of open preparations, terror attacks on innocent fishermen, public threats, and personal accusations against President Nicolás Maduro, the US has kidnapped the president of a sovereign state. This was not a limited military action. US imperialism did not merely strike military infrastructure; it deliberately attacked symbols, morale, and historical memory. Imperialist war is…
