Since the January 3, 2026, US assault on Venezuela, the course being set by the country’s acting president Delcy Rodríguez has been at the center of a debate, both among the Venezuelan people and among those around the world — especially in the United States — who oppose US imperialism’s hegemonic designs in the hemisphere. Is the Rodríguez government carrying forward the legacy of the social reforms that characterized the presidency of Hugo Chávez? Is the working class the motor force behind change in present-day Venezuela, or have workers and peasants been demobilized and demoralized? Do the many deals being made with Washington represent a necessary retreat or are they a betrayal of the country’s working people? Among those joining the discussion was Argentine writer Diego Molinas. His column is published in this post.

On January 3, 2026, U.S. forces bombed Venezuela and abducted the country’s president, Nicolás Maduro, and his wife, Cilia Flores. Among those in the United States who oppose Washington’s assault on Caracas and its saber rattling in the Americas, there are counterposed assessments on what has unfolded in Venezuela and on the character of the country’s current government. Manolo De Los Santos, executive director of the People’s Forum in New York City and a researcher in Tricontinental, outlined his perspective in the January 4 article Venezuela’s Revolution still stands: debunking Trump’s psyop. It was first published by the People’s Dispatch and immediately reprinted by Liberation, the newspaper of the Party for Socialism and Liberation. His claims fly in the face of reality as shown by this article.
