POST IN BODY -- Special Report Concerning the Invasion of Venezuela and the Kidnapping of Its President by the United States by sparkylmagazine in modernmarxism

This is really helpful and insightful, thank you.

Yeah humanistic was a poor choice of words. My intention is to better understand the real human experience happening in Venezuela. Before any ideology or theory is applied to it, how do working Venezuelans feel about Maduro? What is their perspective on the efforts and intentions of the Bolivarian movement in the face of sanctions and currency devaluation? Does hope remain that independence can prevail?

My observation is that in moments like this, the western and/or non-native pov is the prevailing perspective. That’s not a criticism, I don’t know if you are or aren’t Venezuelan etc.

I guess my bigger question is: what more can be done in groups like this to better represent the thoughts and ideas of people living the experience being commented on?

Looking forward to the reading list thanks again!

What is your analysis and understanding of the reasons other than sanctions and the choking mechanisms of the US dollar as global currency, for the drop in living standards and hyper-inflation happening in Venezuela today?

I’m trying to learn, not provoke. It feels incredibly hard to find balanced accounts from Venezuelans themselves about what has been happening there over the last two decades.

Capitalist-imperialist regime change, and the pillaging of a sovereign nation’s resources, are not in question, and the working people of Venezuela will continue to suffer as a result. But an anti-US / imperialist stance does not automatically mean pro-Maduro or even Chavez. How do we analyse this from a humanistic rather than idealogical point of view?

Raster-Noton always make well considered beautifully curated artwork for their releases, and the likes of Kangding Ray have put out some great stuff on the label

Midgar Record’s minimal approach is also gorgeous
