Venezuela thread

[Barry Lyndon]

How many people think that there should be a sub-forum for Venezuela? It's one of the most important revolutionary hotspots in the world today, alongside Nepal and Greece. I don't understand why Palestine has a subforum but Venezuela doesn't.

Nobody ever talks about Venezuela on this forum besides to take a shit on it anyway, so the lack of a subforum doesn't bother me all that much.

I wouldn't mind there being a forum there, since a lot of things are going down over there, such as armed workers & peasants, hundreds of communes developed, nationalized industries, worker run industries, etc. I'd be glad to contribute whenever I can & make sure it stay updated.

Your right, Bolivia is also important. But I see Venezuela as more so given that its socialist experiment has lasted longer, that there has been much more expropriation of the capitalists and development of the organs of workers control.
Plus, the other leftist movements in Latin America are quite dependent on the Bolivarian movement in Venezuela, due to Venezuela's oil wealth. If the Bolivarian revolution is defeated, then the collapse of much of the Latin American left, maybe even Cuba, is likely.

We shouldn't allow a bunch of ultra left wankers to bully us into submission. Supporters of the Bolivarian revolution on revleft should come together.

I support a Venezuelan sub-forum. It would have been great to have all the news and discussions on Venezuela in one place. I don't hear a lot from Bolivia nowadays, so I would have waited with that one.

how about just puting up a sticky with links to news sites and if anything important comes up post a thread in here until the volume gets large enough?
