Revolution in Latin America



Insecurity: The Root Cause of US Aggression

Tuesday, 8 April 2008 8:46 A GMT+01
There has always been a flip side to American confidence and bravado. By building the border between Mexico and the US -- all three leading presidential candidates voted for it -- Americans have chosen to enshrine and showcase their insecurity.

American Empire: Colombia Is the Israel of Latin America

Friday, 7 March 2008 9:48 A GMT+01
It's important to recognize the geopolitical importance of Colombia to the interests of the United States in the region. In recent years, Colombia has become one of the last and most hard-line outposts of neoliberalism in Latin America.

Colombia - Ecuador - Venezuela: Is Bush Angling for War?

Thursday, 6 March 2008 9:41 A GMT+01
Colombia is the means by which the Bush Regime is orchestrating a pretext to move forces into Venezuela and Ecuador and have the Correa and Chávez governments replaced by puppets. Colombia is American Imperialism's rottweiler in Latin America

Baseball: Microcosm of Capitalist Exploitation

Thursday, 28 February 2008 9:30 A GMT+01
The assorted fat-cat owners of Major League Baseball have descended in vulpine fashion on both the Dominican Republic and Venezuela, marauding like free marketers on steroids in their quest for baseball talent on the cheap.

Fidel Castro Starts Regular Column for This Site

Tuesday, 26 February 2008 9:38 A GMT+01
I have enjoyed observing the embarrassing position of all the presidential candidates in the United States. One by one, they found themselves forced to proclaim their immediate demands to Cuba, so as not to alienate a single voter.

Fidel Castro: 20th Century Colossus

Wednesday, 20 February 2008 9:47 A GMT+01
More people across the Latin American sub-continent are looking to the Cuban leader for inspiration than ever before, as popular - and especially young - opinion swings against the US. Fidel Castro will forever remain the symbol of anti-imperialism.

Venezuela's Middle Class: Savage, Vile, Crass & Corrupt

Friday, 7 December 2007 10:08 A GMT+01
To the horror of Milton Friedman acolytes, Washington Consensus cheerleaders, structural adjustment practitioners and assorted “disaster capitalism” neocons, Venezuela is a country where peasant collectives are evolving into cooperatives.

Vicious US Media Propaganda Against Venezuela's Democratic Revolution

Friday, 30 November 2007 9:01 A GMT+01
The US media generally abandon quaint notions of balance and objectivity when reporting on Venezuela. Curiously, this often extends to left-of-centre newspapers not known to slavishly follow the Bush Regime's lead when reporting on other oil states.

Death to the West's Ruling Elite! [Chavez & KIng Juan Carlos of Spain]

Wednesday, 21 November 2007 9:29 A GMT+01
Chávez kept trying to interrupt — summit organizers even turned off his microphone — at which point the King told him to "shut up." Hugo Chavez has a formidable talent to get up the noses of western leaders and their complacent bourgeois values.

UN Showdown: Bush Mangles His Words, Ahmadinejad's Big Apple Blitz

Thursday, 27 September 2007 8:58 A GMT+01
A few journalists got a glimpse of Bush's UN address complete with phonetic spellings in brackets to assist him. Safe from Bush's famously dyslexic tongue, therefore, were the Presidents of France [sar-KO-zee] and Zimbabwe (moo-GAH-bee].

Chávez Goads the West [Again]: He's a One-Man Soap Opera

Wednesday, 29 August 2007 8:02 A GMT+01
Aló Presidente - episode 291: When Chávez reclaimed Las Malvinas...he turned his seven-hour talkathon into a harangue against Europe, the British navy, the Queen, racism, imperialism and that embodiment of old world vice, the Guardian.

America Destroys People Democracy Around the World

Friday, 17 August 2007 10:09 A GMT+01
Chávez is the authentic product of a popular awakening. This is suppressed by the old Iran-Contra death squad gang. Under Bush, they fear the economic bridges Chávez is building in the region, like using Venezuela's oil revenue to end IMF slavery.

As in Soccer, So in Life: Hugo Chavez 1, US Empire 0

Sunday, 8 July 2007 9:42 A GMT+01
Copa America: Venezuela 1 : US 0...Both nations have long traded insults and threats and now, courtesy of a proxy battle on and off the pitch, there is a result. Mr Chávez's self-styled socialist revolution has prevailed against the US.

Christianity Maintains the Status Quo

Monday, 18 June 2007 9:45 A GMT+01
Imperial religion is the arrogant manipulation of God to endorse the powerful, protect the rich and maintain the status quo, not the use of faith as a force for social change. Look at the Christian Right's endorsement of Bush as "God's President."

Yanqui imperialism in Latin America

Thursday, 14 June 2007 7:44 A GMT+01
U.S. imperialism mercilessly exploits Latin America’s resources and labor by imposing the policies of “neoliberalism” — essentially, using the state power to aid the banks and transnational corporations to concentrate capital.

Immigration Reforms Shot Down by Racist Republican Extremists

Sunday, 10 June 2007 9:46 A GMT+01
Illegal immigrants is are open to potential exploitation by unscrupulous employers. Reflecting the tension in the US, opponents of immigration from Latin America have taken to wearing T-shirts saying "Only speak English to me".

Cursing Christianity: Involved in Genocide, Slavery & Brutal Imperialism

Monday, 4 June 2007 9:20 A GMT+01
Pope Benedict XVI managed to skip over the bad parts of the invasion of the Americas by the Europeans in the 15th century, claiming that the indigenous population of the New World was "silently longing" for Christianity "without realizing it."

Latin America: "White Man, Fuck Off!"

Thursday, 31 May 2007 11:26 A GMT+01
While Latin America isn't very rich, the rich in Latin America have more money than God. Despite 500 years of intermarriage, the economic elite remains strikingly whiter-looking, compared to the more Indian and black-looking people at the bottom.

US Media Spin Anti-Chavez Propaganda over Closure of TV Station

Thursday, 31 May 2007 11:25 A GMT+01
The story is framed as a simple matter of censorship: Prominent Venezuelan TV station RCTV is being silenced by the authoritarian government of President Hugo Chávez, who is punishing the station for its political criticism of his government.

The Revolution Will Be Commercialized

Thursday, 19 April 2007 9:46 A GMT+01
Just look at what they have done to Che. The glowering visage of the Cuban comandante pops up everywhere - in art, on magazine covers and, more blasphemously, on lighters, wallets, coasters, T-shirts, hoodies, key chains, tissue packs...

Chavez Beats up Bush

Wednesday, 14 March 2007 9:37 A GMT+01
Bush’s trip to Latin America has turned into another public relations disaster. Every time Airforce 1 touches down in a southern capital, the streets turn into battlegrounds between incensed protestors and fully-armored, truncheon-wielding Robo-cops.

Bush Is Another Word for Cunt

Wednesday, 14 March 2007 9:37 A GMT+01
Brazil's President Lula was probably not aware that his US counterpart's surname has a sexual connotation [bush is another word for cunt] when he suggested on Friday working together to find the "g-spot" in their negotiations.

Bugger "Bushy" in Brazil: "Mr Butcher" "The Warlord"

Monday, 12 March 2007 10:02 A GMT+01
Some arrived clutching banners telling "Mr Butcher" to go home. Others brought effigies of "The Warlord" dangling miserably from a hangman's noose. A handful dressed up as the grim reaper.

Latin America: Bush Barbecued in His 'Backyard'

Thursday, 8 March 2007 8:59 A GMT+01
The Iraq war has certainly done wonders for Latin America. An area traditionally under the United States' lock and key has been allowed to escape from its customary captor. The US has had little time to spare for the region seen as its "backyard".

Hip-Hop and American Machismo Culture

Tuesday, 20 February 2007 10:10 A GMT+01
Why is the all-American hyper-masculine ideal taken to such a laughable extreme in rap culture? Who is to blame for co-opting the African-American self-image? What's being done, in more recent hip-hop artistic trends, to stop the self-deprecation?
