The Communist Party of the Philippines-Batangas vehemently condemns the US imperialist government’s recent bombing of Venezuela’s capital city of Caracas, the Venezuelan states of Miranda, La Guaira and Aragua and its illegal abduction of Venezuelan president Nicolas Maduro and his wife Cilia Flores.
The fascist Donald Trump has made extremely clear his intention to invade Venezuela and did not hide the reason for the US armada’s presence near the coast of Venezuela. His pretext of a war on drug trafficking and his claim that President Maduro is a drug kingpin have already been proven false by his state’s own intelligence agency. President Trump has thus far only revealed he is no different than his predecessors Biden, Obama, Bush, and Clinton, each one having blood on their hands for having the most coups, assassination plots, regime changes, and invasions a state has carried out or backed since the turn of the 21st century.
Trump’s modus operandi is straight out of the US playbook of destabilization and intervention in sovereign states the imperialist government has eyes on. Since 1945, the US government has been in more wars than the whole world combined and has amassed the most nuclear arsenal for its military.
The reason is clear. The US and its allied monopoly capitalist countries are yet again undergoing an economic crisis. Trump’s slogan of bringing back industrialization inside their territory after decades of relying on cheap labor in China and other countries is proof of this. No one is under the illusion that the objective of this attack on the Venezuelan people is anything other than to to seize Venezuela’s strategic resources, particularly its oil reserve. Yet again, imperialism is caught trying to offset a crisis of its own making by using another country’s resources.
The US imperialist government’s invasion of Venezuela must be analyzed under the current international situation where the US is steadily losing ground as the sole political and economic hegemony in the world. Its frustrations in Ukraine, the continued resistance of the Palestinian people, even China’s refusal to succumb to its acts of aggression in the Pacific as well as the growing membership of BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa) which grew to ten member states with the addition of Indonesia can only serve to shake the number one imperialist down to its core.
The Filipino people have no other recourse than to stand with the people of Venezuela and condemn the US armed assault in Caracas and abduction of Maduro. The growing conflict in the world brought by chronic economic and political crisis, stoked on by US imperialism, is sure to land on our shores. The Filipino people must denounce the puppet Marcos regime for the continued building of EDCA sites, continued Balikatan Exercises and other joint military trainings and weapons tests which force communities to stop production or, worse, evacuate,and serve only to make our country a target for US rivals in the Pacific.
We must not—we cannot, let 1941 happen again.
People of Venezuela, resist imperialist domination!
Advance the national democratic struggle in the Philippines!
