On Venezuela: Towards An Anarchist Anti-Colonialism

From Abolition Media

The kidnapping of the president of Venezuela, Nicolas Maduro, by the United States this last week has created a divide in anarchist perspectives; particularly those living in the United States. It has made clear that there is a concerning lack of consensus around the implications of this action by the revolutionary left. To get on the same page and ascertain an anarchist perspective on this matter, it is necessary to understand international dynamics, the tradition of anarchist viewpoints, the dynamics of global class struggle and critical role of anarchists residing in the heart of the Empire.

Remembering Tito Pulsinelli

From Umanità Nova, March 24, 2023

On March 1st, at the age of 74, Tito Pulsinelli passed away. Together with other comrades he was imprisoned and tried on false evidence for the bombs of April 25, '69 at the Milan Fairgrounds, those which were the dress rehearsal for the strategy of tension that culminated in the state massacre in Piazza Fontana on December 12, 1969. After 2 years they were all acquitted. At the trial, in fact, the frameup orchestrated by Commissioner Calabresi collapsed and, in the meantime, the real perpetrators of the attacks (the fascists Freda and Ventura) had been unmasked.

The book "Venezuelan Anarchism: The History of a Movement" is now available in English

From El Libertario (Spanish language PDF at the end)
Redacción
Venezuelan Anarchism: The History of a Movement covers Venezuelan anarchism and its partisans from the first appearance of anarchist ideas in the period prior to independence through today. Venezuelan political histories have focused almost exclusively upon the various Venezuelan governments and political parties. Venezuelan Anarchism shifts the focus to those opposed to those governments and political parties, those who until now have been nearly forgotten. The book also explains in some detail their ideas, publications, and actions in opposition to Venezuela's ruling political elites and, more recently, Venezuela's authoritarian populists.
