Module 6: Building Socialism, An Achievable Necessity
Class: Socialism and Sovereignty Today: Venezuela
Date & Time: Thursday, May 2, 6:30-8:30PM
Description:
Emanating from the relentless pursuit of self-determination in the face of imperialism, resistance and sovereignty are common expressions in Venezuela. The continued interference of the United States in the electoral process is characteristic of the regime change schemes that have been orchestrated to undermine the Bolivarian revolution and the socialist project. Despite numerous attempts to subvert the will of the Venezuelan people and destabilize their country and the region, the people have demonstrated a fortified commitment to defend the revolutionary process and rebuke the U.S.’s attempts at regime change. Venezuela’s resistance is a beacon for nations under similar threats, showcasing the importance of standing firm against external pressures to preserve national integrity and the welfare of its citizens.
