Negotiations in Mexico between the Venezuelan government and the right-wing opposition

LUCHAS — 2021-08-29T09:07:58Z

“We have defeated a new onslaught of imperialism and the criminal right through worker, peasant, communal and popular resistance. From there we must begin to rebuild our economy. We will see if the government representatives take into account this balance sheet, considerations and proposals.”

We condemn the fascist coup and denounce wage precariousness on 1 May 2019

LUCHAS — 2019-05-05T09:47:33Z

This 30 April 2019, the unpatriotic and fascist right of Venezuela has failed again in its terrorist attempt to seize power through a coup d'état. This is part of the growing exhaustion of the Guaidó scenario that has been set in motion by transnational capital allied to the bourgeois faction led by Leopoldo López, MarÃa Corina Machado and others.

24 Political Theses for debate (Part II)

LUCHAS — 2016-10-11T21:24:26Z

At the end of June, the group of Venezuelan revolutionaries who now make up the organisation LUCHAS, began publishing a series of twenty-four theses on the current situation in Venezuela, its causes and its consequences. At the time these first three theses were published, which we published here, they were still members of the organisation Marea Socialista, though increasingly critical of what they saw as MS's decision to adopt a position of explicit opposition to the Bolivarian government. They presented themselves as Marea Socialista-Original Line. That was still the situation when a second group of four theses were published which we reprint below. Shortly after that, at the end of July, on what would have been Chavez' 62nd birthday, they announced their decision to break with MS and set up the new organisation.
