Latin American Revolutions Under Attack

by ANDRE VLTCHEK
 


Do not take the Latin American revolutions for granted.


They inspired the entire Planet. They brought hope to every corner of
our scarred Earth. But now they are themselves in need of our support.



If left alone, they would thrive for decades and centuries. But the
Empire is once again on the offensive. It is shaking with fury. It is
ready to invade, to smash, burn to ashes all the hopes, all that which
had been achieved.



Don’t believe in the “common wisdom” which proclaims that the rulers
of the world simply “closed their eyes” more than a decade ago; that
George W. Bush was “too busy” ravishing the Middle East, therefore
“allowing” most of the Latin American countries to “sneak away” from the
iron grip of the Empire.



Such “analyses” are as patronizing as they are false. The Empire
never sleeps! What Latin America now has was built on its daring, its
sweat, its genius and its blood – it fought against the Empire,
courageously, for decades, losing its best sons and daughters. It fought
for freedom, for justice and socialism.
