  • The collapse has begun. It is political

    , by Alain Bertho

    As revolts erupt all over the world, governing today is more and more like waging an open or covert war against the uprisings of peoples and living beings, to maintain at all costs an increasingly discredited order.

  • The Left and Venezuela – "If the diagnosis of a reactionary coup is correct, the position of the left should not give rise to disagreements"

    , by Claudio Katz

    The media keep silent about the violence of the Venezuelan opposition and the prevailing repression by the right-wing governments of Latin America. The Right’s strategy of an institutional coup faces serious limits, but the Left must address this new threat, supporting anti-imperialist decisions and making a distinction between the capitalist boycott and the government’s ineffectiveness.

    Adhering to social-democratic standards, the post-progressive “critical left” objects to Chavismo, dismissing the danger of a coup, and mistakenly identifying authoritarianism as the main danger. The dogmatists overlook the main enemy and converge with the conservatives or slip toward passive neutrality.

    The Right only wants elections it is sure it will win. In these very adverse conditions, the Constituent Assembly re-opens opportunities and points to a re-encounter with radical intellectual thought.
