Protests, proposals, processes: Solidarity and counter-cultural resistance, Lima-Peru In support of young Chilean activists who are victims of judicial repression Judicial repression has become a new weapon of States in the fight against social protest.
The last case that prompted our reaction involves the sentencing of 6 young people for the death in a fire of a 71-year-old worker during a street demonstration on 21 May 2016. These heavy sentences for a highly publicized case raise many doubts and make it possible to affirm, what is becoming a habit, the existence of a police and judicial structure to find guilty parties.
The Left and Venezuela – "If the diagnosis of a reactionary coup is correct, the position of the left should not give rise to disagreements" 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.
