Revolutionary socialist orgs affiliated with ICOR release statements condemning the US kidnapping of Venezuelan socialist president Maduro.
Trump is challenging the entire world!
From his previous term to the present, Trump’s actions have fully demonstrated that he is the modern-day Hitler—and worse than Hitler.
This invasion of Venezuela and the attempted capture of President Maduro and his wife merely prove this point once again.
This is Trump openly challenging all the people of the world!
If the world’s people indulge him and let him run wild, he will become even more reckless, ultimately bringing disasters to the world that will surpass those wrought by Hitler.
The people of the world, including the American people, must immediately unite, take action, and launch a massive popular movement to strive to oust Trump from office as soon as possible!
Undoubtedly, the American people bear this weighty historical responsibility first and foremost. For the sake of all humanity and this beautiful planet, we hope the American people swiftly overthrow Trump’s reactionary rule. We do not wish to see America or its people face historical retribution.
Angry rhetoric and solemn statements alone will fall on deaf ears—indeed, they will only invite his scorn. The only effective method is to mobilize a mass popular movement—including street demonstrations, and especially comprehensive strikes, business shutdowns, and school walkouts… This businessman values nothing above his economic interests. A popular uprising strikes directly at his core vulnerability. Needless to say, even more advanced forms of struggle can emerge from such a popular movement. Did not Trump himself orchestrate such a scenario?
We must harbor no illusions about Trump. For Trump is not merely an individual phenomenon; he represents the collective interests of major corporate conglomerates—a class composed of these financial giants. The so-called “America First” policy is nothing more than prioritizing the interests of America’s large monopoly capital groups. Trump’s “America First” shares the same essence as Hitler’s Nazism: both are expressions of monopoly capitalist interests cloaked in “nationalism.” This is also the root cause of the dictum that “imperialism is war.” Trump is undoubtedly a villain and a criminal. Yet that such a man could be elected President of the United States and perpetrate such a series of atrocities is not merely a matter of individual guilt, but stems from deeper, more fundamental class causes.
Trump’s constant talk of “money” and “interests” is by no means solely his personal agenda, but reflects the demands of the entire American monopoly capitalist class. Viewed through this lens, the Trump phenomenon is not merely an individual or accidental occurrence, but an inevitable, class-based phenomenon.
Based on this objective historical reality, we must harbor no illusions about Trump. Instead, we must wage a resolute, head-on struggle against him—overthrow him and remove him from the presidency.
It is precisely through this lens that we recognize the issues confronting us today extend far beyond Venezuela alone, or even President Maduro and his wife personally. They concern the shared destiny of all humanity. If we do not rise up to fight, Canada could become the 51st state of the United States, Greenland could fall prey to Trump’s plunder, and countless calamities could unfold at any moment—potentially even triggering a Third World War!
People of the world, consider how perilous this scenario truly is!
Therefore, we must unite and take action—launching a grand, sweeping people’s movement to defeat Trump, bring him down, and save humanity from a catastrophe that could destroy us all!
Victory belongs to the people of the world!
Victory belongs to every single person on this planet!

In response to the US military aggression against Venezuela
US imperialism is blockading and now directly bombing the territory of our sister Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, while simultaneously kidnapping President Maduro and his partner Flores.
It is time for the working class and the people of the East to take to the streets to express our solidarity and demand a clear and firm repudiation from the FA government.
Solidarity with Venezuela!
Yanquis out of Our America!
US imperialism blocks Venezuela in support of a coup d’état
December 7, 2025
With the hackneyed argument of fighting drug trafficking, US imperialism has set up a naval blockade and closed the airspace with dozens of ships and its largest aircraft carrier, mobilizing special forces in several countries in the region. In total, it has mobilized some 15,000 troops.
More than 20 boats have already been bombed and more than 80 people killed, many of them fishermen of various nationalities, without evidence and without trial of any kind.
At the same time, this operation, which began in August and has been escalating, is offering rewards of millions of dollars for the arrest of President Maduro and several leaders of the government of the sister Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela.
All of this, which already constitutes a very serious intervention and has been preceded by many provocations over the years, is intended to maximize pressure to bring down the current Venezuelan government, and if this does not happen, to be in a position to carry out attacks with missiles, drones, and other military means directly against government leaders, senior military commanders, and strategic infrastructure.
These actions would be carried out in support of a coup d’état, for which they need to count on part of the Venezuelan armed forces and in which the CIA and other Yankee agencies are actively working, through corruption and other means.
According to various media outlets and specialists on the subject, it is very unlikely that the Yankees will withdraw from the area without carrying out these attacks after such a large military mobilization, which has also been carried out at great economic cost.
The situation in Venezuela, Colombia, which is also now threatened by the fascist Trump, and all the countries of the Caribbean, including Cuba, is very serious.
The true objective of this new aggression by Yankee imperialism, which continues to be the main economic, political, and military power in the world, but whose hegemony is in decline, in fierce competition with China and in a multipolar world, is clear. It aims to increase political, economic, and military control in Latin America and the Caribbean as much as possible, fully reviving the Monroe Doctrine, as openly stated in last November’s National Security Strategy report.
The Yankees’ problem with Venezuela is not drug trafficking but fundamentally controlling its wealth, mainly oil, and cutting off its close relationship with China, Russia, Iran, and Cuba.
Faced with this situation, the Venezuelan government and the heroic brotherly people are preparing for military resistance to Yankee intervention and the fascist coup d’état. It is up to the working class and the peoples of the continent to develop the greatest solidarity.
We must express this solidarity now with actions, through a strong popular mobilization, which, in the face of concrete attacks, includes a general strike, while at the same time demanding that the pseudo-progressive government of the FA abandon its complicit silence and internationally condemn this new aggression by Yankee imperialism.
The people of Artigas together with those of Bolívar: Yankees out of Our America!
Long live the struggle of the brotherly Venezuelan people and international solidarity!

No to imperialist terrorism against the Venezuelan people
In the early hours of Saturday, January 3, the people of Venezuela were victims of a fierce terrorist attack perpetrated by Donald Trump’s fascist government.
The city of Caracas, other states, and regions awoke to the sound of planes and helicopters bombing the area, terrorizing an entire people who refuse to surrender their sovereignty and natural resources to those who have always considered America to belong to them.
In this criminal action, the constitutional president of the Bolivarian Republic, Nicolás Maduro Moros, and his wife, Cilia Flores, have been kidnapped.
In response to this state crime, Venezuelans are lying in the streets in an expression of support for the government of Nicolás Maduro and demanding the immediate release of him and his wife, as well as the withdrawal of the invading troops.
The Venezuelan Armed Forces and all its security agencies, in addition to reiterating their loyalty to President Nicolás Maduro and the Bolivarian Revolution, maintain control of the situation and call on the population not to lose their composure, refraining from any action that could serve as a pretext for the intervening forces to commit any further acts of madness.
The International Coordination of Revolutionary Organizations and Parties (ICOR) stands in full solidarity with the Venezuelan nation and strongly condemns the military intervention in its territory by US imperialism.
We defend the self-determination of peoples as a matter of principle and right, and in this sense, we demand the immediate withdrawal of the intervening forces from Venezuelan soil.
Similarly, we reject the attitude of international organizations that have so far failed to speak out on this issue. We believe that given the magnitude of this terrorist act, immediate condemnation is warranted.
We urge all revolutionary organizations in the Americas and around the world to speak out in solidarity with the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela. This crime not only affects the Venezuelan nation; it also jeopardizes the security of other countries that oppose Yankee domination in the region, such as Cuba, Colombia, Nicaragua, and others.
Yankee presence out of Venezuela and the Caribbean!
Long live the self-determination of the peoples!
Long live the Bolivarian Revolution!
