Trump, Venezuela + Imperialism Discussion (Berkeley)

Tuesday January 13th 7pm

Revolution Books 2444 Durant Avenue Berkeley

We will make a presentation and then get into these (and other) questions:

1. The US invaded Venezuela, kidnapped its President and declared that the US would run Venezuela and take its oil. Is this just about oil? Some correctly condemn US imperialism – but what is imperialism? What are the deeper dynamics of this system in today’s world?

2. What does Venezuela have to do with the global contention between the US and China? What are the implications of the US declaration that it will tolerate no imperialist rivals in all of Latin America? What is different in the way Trump MAGA fascism is approaching Latin America than how US imperialism has always sought to rule over, exploit, and dominate Latin America?

3. What will it take to stop MAGA fascism? And what will it take to put an end to imperialism?

For background, we suggest this article from Revcom: “Fascist ICE Gestapo Murders in Cold Blood. Trump Fascism Threatens the World. The Time Has Come to Draw the Line—Trump Must Go Now!”

For further background, we suggest “Trump Declares Full Control of Venezuela. This Fascist Imperialist Gangster Must Be Stopped. A Better World Is Possible—And Needs to Be Fought For from revcom.us.

U.S. Out of Venezuela!

Trump Must Go Now!

In the Name of Humanity, We Refuse to Accept a Fascist America!

This Whole System Is Rotten and Illegitimate.

We Need and We Demand: A Whole New Way to Live, a Fundamentally Different System!
