President who as a candidate promised that if he were reelected - as he was - his pulse would not tremble to immediately undertake the necessary changes that would solve the country's main problems. A week later, those immediate measures that imply a significant change for that management that he promised have not yet been seen.</span></span></div>

Many of those who voted for Nicolás, and another large part of the people in general, still consider that President Maduro, making the necessary changes from his previous administration, can amend this unprecedented crisis in Venezuela. Otherwise, abuse would be too much with the confidence of the Chavista people. Many of that same legion of Compatriots who again showed up at the polls on May 20, did so thinking and saying that this is the last opportunity given to a political and military leadership that until now has shown inefficiency, incapacity and ineptitude in the solution of the serious problems of the lives of Venezuelans and Venezuelans.</span></span></div>
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "palatino linotype" , "urw palladio l" , "palladio" , "book antiqua" , "palatino" , "tinos" , "garamond" , "freeserif" , "times new roman" , "times" , serif; line-height: 25.2px;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div>

Enough since some corrupt officials, especially the GN, are behind the world of bachaqueo and mafias in the wholesale markets of the states and the supposed protection of the borders and do nothing to investigate and punish exemplary involved but there must also be a new vision in the productive sector, where, if agreements are to be reached with the productive sector, this must be done by imposing on the private sector and those run by state companies higher levels of production and better results in the distribution of what is produced</span></span></div>
<br />

All these items addressed in this paragraph are key to solving the crisis of low production, scarcity, overpricing and hyperinflation. Apparently, President Maduro has not taken into account the reflection of Einstein that you can not expect that doing the same will have other results.</span></span></div>

Today, PDVSA and CORPOELEC are on the ground and current managers have enormous responsibilities, as many as the authorities they replaced. We must be consistent with the statement of fighting corruption, no matter who falls. The government must assume with a character of inflexibility, rigor and firmness the frontal fight against the widespread and scandalous corruption that infects all the public administration. We all know how the alcabalas of our country have become opprobrious places of dispossession, of arbitrariness, of criminal intimidation, which leads beyond the moral and unjust situation per se, patrimonial damage to the users of the roads, in addition to to conform an important condition that contributes to the increase of the merchandise that by those routes are forced to transport the suppliers and distributors of goods of different lines.</span></span></div>

If we do not act aggressively against this shameful panorama sooner rather than later, the citizens will exhaust their patience, which is almost totally lost, and the consequences will hit our faces. The public health network is also going through the worst moment in the history of our country. The deterioration of infrastructure, organizational disorder, prevarication, dehumanization, lack and even absolute absence of medicines, medical surgical supplies, damage and inoperability of equipment and laboratories, as well as transport units or ambulance, place the general population and in particular the weakest social and economic in desperate situations and even dantescas because it is impossible to resolve health conditions at all levels, obviously the greatest difficulty when it comes to serious or dramatic diseases such as kidney disease, oncology , cardiovascular, surgical, among others.</span></span></div>

And what can we say about private health? There is concentrated the absolute speculation, the criminal impudence of those who enrich themselves with the pain of others in the most cold, calculating and insensitive way, dehumanized, with the indifferent, complicit gaze of the Venezuelan state. With the double guilt, both for allowing this situation without focusing on exercising control over the merchants of health, and for maintaining the public health network precarious, deficient in all its levels, which causes the population to resort to private centers and there they are plundered by medical mercantilism, where suspiciously everything is found, say medicines, medical surgical supplies and the necessary technology.</span></span></div>

Apart we say, has fallen into serious errors of historical interpretation to make equivalent the processes of peace of the 60 and 70 and this current release of leaders and cadres of the opposition, which may be a positive measure, but has another historical significance. It is worth remembering that they grant full liberty to many opponents conspirators, while there are imprisoned labor leaders or that they have presentation regimes in Courts, being the cases of some Companions leaders in Civetchí, Corpoelec and in Ferrominera.</span></span></div>

And this is focused on the development of the Communal State. The same kind of state that President Chávez demanded he made in his intervention known as "El Golpe de Timón". That is the way, apart from breaking and separating the currently leading bureaucracy and fulfilling the promise made more than a year ago that the military would return to their barracks. The FANB is not in its barracks but many times doing actions like the one just done by the GNB with the Compatriots of the El Maizal Commune in the Portuguese State. Members of this Commune were harassed and humiliated by a commission of the GNB that supposedly investigates bachaqueadores of inputs. However, the commoners attended to the CNB with invoices and evidence in the hands of their productive and commercial legality, but also some comuneros went to the CONAS offices in Acarigua where they were arbitrarily stripped of their cell phones and kept incommunicado, according to instructions of the Prosecutor's Office 12 of the State Portuguesa.</span></span></div>

While doing that the bank refuses to grant new loans, foreign accounts are blocked from the government, imperialism and various governments lackcades block foreign trade to Venezuela and even threaten us with different measures of intervention, even military type. If the country requires international capital, that you make the necessary agreements but not at the expense of sovereignty, as noted in some hiring decisions for the oil and mining exploitation of the country. We reject any attempt to apply a scheme of surrendering the country to transnational capital, much more, if that is done, covered by a shrill and falsely anti-imperialist rhetoric. The people can not stand a new deception.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">23-05-18.-“The old bargain offering everything for a buck is back. Yet, with an inflationary version: Everything costs Bs 1 million minimum", a buyer said at the flea market, surrounded by items he could not afford.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The groceries in Venezuela broke the barrier of the million bolivars (Approximately US $1): From a package of rice to soap for the laundry. The item nor the place matter now. Both open market on the streets, supermarkets and tables of the "Bachaqueros" (smugglers), any item is offerd above seven digit figures, above the national minimum wage.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0cm 0cm 11pt 1pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="line-height: 150%;">After rereading and analyzing the text "Socialism or barbarity:Story
of Posturing, Manipulation, and Lies" by Juan Barreto and Héctor Sánchez
[1], I was motivated to write these words for collective discussion, trying to
trace not only the content of Chávez's ideological-political legacy [2], but
also that of those who have tried to contribute relevant ideas for to that
discussion on this new socialism, today completely lackluster and opaque.</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0cm 0cm 11pt 1pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #333333; line-height: 150%;">These words would need to - in future elaborations - to get
back to and organize the relevant written works and analyses on the debate
about "21st century socialism" by figures such as: Alí Rodríguez
Araque, Alberto Müller Rojas, Jorge Giordani, William Lara, Rodrigo Cabezas,
Jesús Farías, Haiman el Troudi, Rodolfo Sanz, Elías Jaua, Rafael Ramírez, and
including the association Un grano de maíz (A Grain of Corn) (Toby Valderrama),
among other civil and military figures (Jacinto Pérez Arcay, for example) with
an interest in the writing of their political views on such a topic and with a
certain degree of accordance and dialogue with the very theses of Hugo Chávez.</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0cm 0cm 11pt 1pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #333333; line-height: 150%;">After four years of disappointing, inconclusive, and
erratic results from the management of the Maduro's government (2014-2018) when
it's time to assume challenges and threats that in life Chávez himself managed
to confront at various junctures, given his performance in matters of:</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0cm 0cm 11pt 31pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #333333; line-height: 150%;">a) political efficiency</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0cm 0cm 11pt 31pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #333333; line-height: 150%;">b) social responsibility</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0cm 0cm 11pt 31pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #333333; line-height: 150%;">c) ethics of general welfare</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0cm 0cm 11pt 31pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #333333; line-height: 150%;">d) technical/political capability</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0cm 0cm 11pt 31pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #333333; line-height: 150%;">e) clear situational leadership</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0cm 0cm 11pt 1pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #333333; line-height: 150%;">It is important to point out that Chávez's political
actions were done not only in favorable international conditions (the
propagandistic tale of $100 barrels of oil, which is a half-truth, which is
also to say a half-lie), but rather, also in conditions not always favorable,
for example: low oil prices (less than $40/barrel on average from 1998-2005),
imperialist threats (coup and oil sector strike), economic sabotage,
speculative pressure on the currency, as well as constant political (and media)
plays at destabilization, as well as the loss of political and military unity.</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0cm 0cm 11pt 1pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="line-height: 150%;">So if you do not want to completely dispel-distort the "National
Project" dimension in the Bolivarian process led by Chávez, then you can
trace those marks of development of notions and concepts about a socialist
debate, not always fully assumed and often relegated, in a historical-political
context already clearly post-chavista.</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0cm 0cm 11pt 1pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="line-height: 150%;">We say that there exists a post-chavista context (a debate that coincides
withthe so-called debate about post-progressivism), after having analyzed the
patterns of justification of the internal political recompositions that the
very government of Maduro has executed since the death of Chávez, some of which
are associated with what I will provisionally call in this text the
"framework of gradual and selective micro-purges," that were neither
expected nor planned in the Farewell Speech to Chávez that 8th of December [3];
for example, figures such as: Vanessa Davies, Jorge Giordani, Héctor Navarro,
Ana Elisa Osorio, Antonia Muñoz, Cliver Alcalá, Rafael Ramírez, Miguel
Rodríguez Torres, and perhaps an et. al. of unpublicized middle managers, today
anonymous.</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0cm 0cm 11pt 1pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="line-height: 150%;">On the other hand, we must be aware that we are already almost 20 years
out from the beginning of that experience of the constituent process (1999),
with an exemplary popular call to a National Constituent Assembly; the country
would experience, for the first time in its political history, the first
constituent call to a popular referendum, or as Chávez literally said:
"Here, in all of Venezuelan history, there had never been any
referendum.The first was the one that we called for on the 2nd of February of
1999 in order to aks the people themselves if they were in agreement with
calling a Constituent Assembly." [4].</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0cm 0cm 11pt 1pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="line-height: 150%;">This event allowed for the composition and approval (in a second popular
approbative referendum) of an advance Constitution (1999) in social and
democratic matters, and for the progressive development of an invaluable bill
of rights: civil, political (including the popular referendum), social and
family, educational and cultural, economic, those of indigenous people, and
environmental.</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0cm 0cm 11pt 1pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #333333; line-height: 150%;">In the sense that it is valuable to acknowledge acts and
documents, that perhaps newer generations (those that are currently between 16
and 27 years old), who were less than seven (7) years old at the beginning of
said process (1999), who were born during the first ten years of the Bolivarian
process, or who currently hold positions of management and political
responsibility (who are between 30-45 years old), cannot today manage to
comprehend or give importance to its full ramifications, in the heat of the
moment and confusion typical of events and trends that have anchored present
exigencies in the political and social consciousness of the country,
selectively erasing the memory as well as the utopian impulses that each
prescient conscience reveals in its relationship to aspects of the
"Historical Project."</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0cm 0cm 11pt 1pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="line-height: 150%;">If it is about choosing the fundamental high points in order to trace
those of Chávez's declarations that impacted the formation of a new imagination
and emancipation, and that prefigured the basis of his social and political
repertory of ideas, we could not stop insisting on the following
texts/documents as discursive keys to understanding and interpreting such a
project (as well as the excellent materials thematically grouped at

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #333333; line-height: 150%;">Here I am in agreement with the French sociologist, Pierre
Bourdieu, when he says "[...] it is always necessary to submit citations
to criticism, examine their funciton, their veracity, their validity."
Later he points out "[...] for this, it is necessary to establish a
de-fetishized relationship with writers, which doesn't mean a relationship of
disrespect."</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0cm 0cm 11pt 1pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="line-height: 150%;">All of the semiotics and hermeneutics of the reception of texts and
speeches works with similar premises when Bourdieu says "[...] in order to
comprehend a work it is necessary to first comprehend its production, the
environment of production; the relationship between the environment in which it
is produced and the environment in which it is received..."</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0cm 0cm 11pt 1pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="line-height: 150%;">If causes in the context of the hegemonic and counter-hegemonic action is
what it is about, when in the ideological/programatic world the
"revolutionary legacy of Chávez" is talked about, it is important to
maintain a distinction of politics of interpretation, between a hermeneutics
(or interpretation) of documents based on suspicion and unmasking, on the one
hand, and a hermeneutics (interpretation) based on the affirmation of logic;
that is to say, on the integration of knowledge, discourse, or a text in the
field that institutes an instituted tradition, putting forth this last case,
"clear limits of interpretation" and even at the risk of instituting
an orthodoxy, canon, or dogma.</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0cm 0cm 11pt 1pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #333333; line-height: 150%;">When we talk, for example, about a hermeneutics of
unmasking, we are proceeding precisely to debunk "false continuities of
signification and logic" which are established between certain texts and
discourses, basing ourselves, for said unmasking and debunking, on evidence,
marks, prints, and documented proof which allow the bringing down of meaningful
social acts of revision and re-writing which appropriate the texts and
communicative intentions of Chávez, in order to produce new or other
performative or transpositional effets. It is there that manipulations,
falsifications, and posturing operate.</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0cm 0cm 11pt 1pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #333333; line-height: 150%;">For example, an interpreter of the Constitution points out
that the call to a constituent assembly does not require called through a
popular referendum according to the following reasoning and argument:</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0cm 0cm 11pt 1pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #333333; line-height: 150%;">"So then, certainly Article 71 provides for the
optional or discretionary choice to call for a consultative referendum on
"subjects of special national consequence;" however, there exist
objective overriding circumstances that determine the process of setting up the
National Constituent Assembly, such as the acute situation of political crisis
currently being confronted and which has precipitated the decree of a state of
exception still without end, that has provoked the making of basic, expedited,
and profoundly constitutional decisions, within which - by initiative of the
President of the Republic - it has been resolved to call for a National
Constituent Assembly, which can - under peaceful circumstances - get the
country into agreement on a new social contract, without making use of this
opportunity - because of said circumstances - of that which is permitted in the
aforementioned Article 71."</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0cm 0cm 11pt 1pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #333333; line-height: 150%;">To this argument has been institutionally attributed the
authority to be an interpretation "in line with the Constitution."
That which we claim here is that such an interpretation goes against the
constituent process that was defended at every turn by Comandante Hugo Chávez. </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0cm 0cm 11pt 1pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="line-height: 150%;">A hermeneutics of unmasking can refute with other textual evidence that
indicates that another interpreter - in this case, Comandante Chávez - foresaw
in their proposal for a preliminary project the Constitution of 1999 [27] and
in their communicative/logical purpose of signification, the following aspects:
"Fundemental Ideas for the New Bolivarian Constitution of the Fifth

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #333333; line-height: 150%;">Article.- The Constituent Assembly, as an expression of the
original constituent power, whose holder is the sovereign people, not only has
the mission to approve a new Constitution, but also to freely establish its
order of relations with the Constituted Powers, for which it can decide as much
the cessation of their duties as requesting them to submit their accounts directly.</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

Republic, the progressive nature of human rights and democratic guarantees.</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #333333; line-height: 150%;">Article.- The initiative of convocation to the Constituent
Assembly may be exercised by the President of the Republic in the Council of
Ministers, the National Assembly by approved agreement of two thirds of each
Chamber or by a number not less than ten percent of the voters registered in
the National Electoral Registry.</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #333333; line-height: 150%;">Article.- The convocation to the Constituent Assembly will
be considered approved, if in the REFERENDUM called for such purpose, the
number of affirmative votes is greater than the number of negative votes. If
the result of the referendum is negative, it must take at least one year for a
new call. If after that time, the new convocation was rejected, a new
referendum may not be called in the same constitutional period.</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0cm 0cm 11pt 1pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #333333; line-height: 150%;">Article.- The bases to elect and form the Constituent

Assembly shall be subject to a referendum within thirty (30) calendar days
following its approval. The Constitution will be definitively approved if the
number of affirmative votes is greater than the number of negative votes. If
the Constitution subject to a referendum is rejected, all acts dictated by the
Constituent Assembly will be annulled, except those that are strictly
indispensable to guarantee the continuity of the Rule of Law. Likewise, a new
Assembly of this nature can not be convened in the same constitutional period,
and the Constitution existing before the Assembly will remain in effect. "</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0cm 0cm 11pt 1pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="line-height: 150%;">And if, as support or backing for this second interpretation (which we
attribute to Chávez's conception of the constituent process) on the topic of
the constituent referendum, we read in other texts[28] or Chávez's speeches:</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0cm 0cm 11pt 1pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #333333; line-height: 150%;">"91. Until 1996 we had refused to go to elections.
Rather we were calling for abstention, as a tactical element or as part of a
strategy towards the convening of the Constituent Assembly, which was always
our approach.</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0cm 0cm 11pt 1pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #333333; line-height: 150%;">92. That is how we decided to move forward along this path.
Now, you ask: why insist so much on that path? </span><span style="line-height: 150%;">And I answer: because we believe in him and not only
as something tactical, but because we strategically believe that it is
possible, we said it millions of times "We are going to the Presidency of
the Republic to summon the People's Power, to the Constituent Assembly."I
myself had great doubts about the possibility of breaking the barriers of the
Punto Fijo system and evolving to another situation, but we did it. That same
year of 1999 we held the referendum."</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0cm 0cm 11pt 1pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #333333; line-height: 150%;">"96. The challenge was then how to make a Constituent
Assembly by legal means.The first thing that had to be done was to win the
Presidency of the Republic so that,from that body of power, a referendum could
be convened where the people could speak for themselves.We rely on article 4 of
the old Constitution that said: "Sovereignty resides in the people who
exercise it by suffrage (the referendum is a form of suffrage), by the organs
of public power, and so on."</span><span style="line-height: 150%;">We take a legal and interpretive point from that article that
allows the president to call a referendum so that the sovereignty that resides
in the people is expressed by an organ of public power.</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0cm 0cm 11pt 1pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #333333; line-height: 150%;">97. We managed to win that referendum with the banner of
the Constituent and although the opposition attacked a lot saying: "With
the Constituent one does not eat, no roads are made, no houses are made",
the subject stuck at the national level. At that stage, we call it the stage of
the convocation to the Constituent Assembly. "</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0cm 0cm 11pt 1pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #333333; line-height: 150%;">And if we also find greater documented supports in which
Comandante Chávez himself states:</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0cm 0cm 11pt 1pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #333333; line-height: 150%;">"187. The Constitution may have many defects, many
gaps, but one of the wonders that it has, and that is enough, is that it
establishes the mechanism so that the constituent power is not expropriated
from the people.In the case of a political institutional crisis with no exit,
there is always a resource: that the people, collecting signatures up to a
certain percentage, or the National Assembly, or the President of the Republic,
can activate a Referendum to reform, amend, restructure or even elaborate a new
constitutional text.To do the latter, obviously, we should exhaust the pre-existing
institutions. "</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0cm 0cm 11pt 1pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #333333; line-height: 150%;">What is the conclusion from a hermeneutical approach to the
texts?</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0cm 0cm 11pt 1pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="line-height: 150%;">It seems much more likely from the point of view of a hermeneutics of
unmasking to say that in the conception of Comandante Chavez, it was an
indispensable condition to consult popular sovereignty, the authentic holder
and holder of the original constituent power, that is, the people by
referendum.</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0cm 0cm 11pt 1pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="line-height: 150%;">In Comandante Chávez's conception, a call of "presidential"
form and content that would act under "objective overriding
circumstances" is neither ratified nor justified, "acute situation of
political crisis" in the framework of a "decree of a state of
exception," that would motivate "generic, expedited
decision-making" with the purpose of "putting the country in
agreement on the new social contract," without any necessity whatsoever of
consulting the people.</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0cm 0cm 11pt 1pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="line-height: 150%;">On this specific point, the "ideological/political legacy" of
Chávez would appear to be inclined - without any room for doubt - to a path
completely opposed to the course of action that was solidified in 2017 in order
to confront a political or institutional crisis with no resolution, without,
additionally, the need for "constituent power to be expropriated from the
people," in its convocation, in the method of selection of delegates, in
its method to annul debates within the NCA, and, finally, in the approval of
political decisions in addition to the composition of a new Constitution.</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0cm 0cm 11pt 1pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #333333; line-height: 150%;">As we can see, critical hermeneutics is an interpretation
with political consequences, which does not shun its political effects on the
historical level of truth, falsehood, lies and secrecy.</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0cm 0cm 11pt 1pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #333333; line-height: 150%;">Let us reiterate, it is a hermeneutics that does not reject
the consequences of decisions when courses of action confront options of the
will-to-do, the know-how, the power-to-do and the must-do, key topics for a
"social semiotics of political action". If it is a political line, it
is a non-chavista political line.</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0cm 0cm 11pt 1pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="line-height: 150%;">With this small example, we could address multiple topics or issues of
"public policy;" where we could track whether or not we are in a
context of policies, courses of action and decisions that we could characterize
as connotatively "chavistas," or if it is not already a new
post-chavista context, which some have already described without any euphemism
as a moment, style or period typical of "madurismo."</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0cm 0cm 11pt 1pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #333333; line-height: 150%;">Perhaps for such reasons it is worth it not to lose sight
of the texts, speeches, and documented evidence on the debate about
twenty-first century socialism in line with the expectations/conceptions of
Comandante Chávez and his main partners and colleagues, in order to unmask any
schemes or posturing plots, manipulations and lies, around the construction of
Bolivarian socialism that Chávez always summarized by recalling Bolívar's
speech in Agostura as, "[...] alternative to the destructive and savage
system of capitalism and with this to ensure the 'most complete social
security, the most complete political stability, and the most complete
happiness' for our people."</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

22/05.- The intense crisis Venezuela suffers is explained by Nicolás Maduro's government as the consequences of a series of imperial aggressions fostered from the U.S. government. This is how it seems to elude any responsibility on the current collapse of the Venezuelan "Petrostate" and the suffering of the population regarding the huge decay of their standards of living because of the restricted access to medicines and food items due to high costs and scarcity.</div>

The Venezuelan government's rhetoric pretends to make us believe in an anti imperialist attitude. Yet, it does not resist the lowest contrast with a study of its foreign policy in the world scenario of the last decades. With the aid of an omni present media infrastructure it shows us a polarized world: USA and its partners are the empire. They're evil. Whereas other countries with identical practices are "Anti imperialists". Therefore, they're "The good ones". It becomes necessary to trascend this manichaean logic and to understand the role of emerging superpowers such as China and Russia. Their assets and influence power expand accross the globe by keeping their own interests; also, imperialist...</div>

The current report pretends to make a contribution to the current debate on the imperialism that hits every sector of the world leftist movement. Therefore, we will take into account both the documented historical events and the concerte policies occurred in the last years in Venezuela. We want to trascend the depoliticizing method stuffed with insults and common places in the discussions and debate.</div>

within this context, the Venezuelan people are sinking in misery, and

Constituent Assembly, without consulting the Venezuelan people and
with the evident purpose of introducing new counter-reforms that add
up to those already applied, which imply: setbacks with respect to
what has been achieved in terms of democratic liberties, civil rights
and sovereignty; as well as the sacrifice to which the Venezuelan
people are subjected as a result of the embezzlement of the nation in
function of the interests of the bureaucracy, of the debt and
business system with global capitalism and the deepening and violent
expansion of a wild extractivism whose The most evident sample is the

humanitarian needs. And, before the diaspora of Venezuelans and
Venezuelans, caused by the policies of the government of Nicolás
Maduro, the crisis of which he is one of the main responsible, and by
the political conditions that have been generated in the country, we
deplore the indolence and contempt with which the government treats
the victims of this situation and we also call for the broadest
solidarity and defense of the rights of those who are impelled to
emigrate to other countries. We do this in order to help them and
guarantee the best possible conditions regarding receptivity, rights

we demand from the Venezuelan government the adoption of all measures
leading to the cessation of the conditions that cause such an exodus.
And we emphatically reject the measures of the state bureaucracy
leading to deprive the families of Venezuelan emigrants of aid
remittances, either through mechanisms of change that are outside the
real values or other formulas of capture and confiscation of
the resources of such remittances (such as the tax announced by the
Vice President of the PSUV), while, in contrast, the capital escaped

<br /><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"></span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%; margin-left: 1pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #333333; line-height: 115%;"> The
Venezuelan journalist, Vladimir Villegas, repudiated comments made Thursday by
the Minister of Communication and Information, Jorge Rodríguez, about the
attendance of presidential candidate Henri Falcón on his program, Vladimir a la
1 (Vladimir at 1), broadcasted by Globovisión, claiming that he was the only
one being interviewed in that segment.</span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #333333; line-height: 115%;">"If you have any
questions or some kind of evidence of anything that appears weird to you, you
can share it," Villegas said to the minister. </span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #333333; line-height: 115%;">Along that line,
Villegas pointed out that the president and candidate for re-election, Nicolás
Maduro, had not been on his program, Vladimir at 1, despite having been invited
on many occasions: "I could ask, for example, why President Maduro has not
wanted to come on my show, we have requested it of him several times."</span></span></span></div>

very well that I have written to you, personally asking you that you coordinate
this interview with President Maduro, who is invited on the program as many
times as he wants, on Vladimir at 1, or any other spot on Globovisión," he
declared.</span></span></span></div>

mentioned that the National Electoral Council should execute an

grievances to various media outlets and sustain an awareness campaign about the
deplorable situation at the Metro and the instability of its workers, who are
subject to countless violations of their labor rights. Below is an open letter
released by a group of those workers in protest, organized by the group
Dignidad Obrera (Worker's Dignity).</span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #333333; line-height: 150%;">We would like to dedicate this letter of
grievance to three acts of corruption and betrayal of the working class, as
each day that passes - even every half-day that passes - some other act of this
type is revealed. Today, we want to point out, with this protest, these three
cases, one recent and already under investigation by the CICPC (Scientific,
Penal, & Criminal Investigation Corps), and the other two, no less
important, but even more grotesque and unjust.</span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #333333; line-height: 150%;">1. It has to do with the detention of
"citizens" Milco Pérez and Jorge Moreno, both ex-managers of the
public transportation corporation, Metro of Caracas. Today they act as
mechanical maintenance specialists, two pariahs who have been committing
misappropriation in using the property of Metro of Caracas, this by allowing
the unfounded and opportunistic use of a unit of public transport (minibus
model, poorly named "Perrera"), belonging to workshop floors of
Metrobus La Paz. A unit used continuously on a special route to and from
Parroquia El Junquito, in the city of Caracas. So then, these two individuals
allowed the use, with the assent of Edison Alvarado, president of the
corporation's union, for the transport of customers on the central seaboard, in
the coastal area, located to the north of the City of Caracas, charging
overpriced tickets with neither the authorization nor any type of arrangement
on the part of the Corporation of Metro of Caracas. It is important to point
out that both criminals are minions of the current executive board of said
corporation's union. Today, both traitors to the working class find themselves
detained for investigation; their guilt is more than obvious, as before the
eyes of the workers of Metro of Caracas they're guilty. We demand justice! No
more impunity! </span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #333333; line-height: 150%;">2. Second case: comes with the sale of
fish in the Socialist Fish Market, a benefits program aimed at the most
vulnerable groups of workers and which is defenseless before the brutal
economic crisis that has affected the entire population. Once again, those from
the union of Metro of Caracas, those who today are the "leaders" of SITRAMECA
(the Union of Workers of the Metro of Caracas), stepped all over the workers by
unlawfully coming out of nowhere to disrupt the worker and
pensioner-established order of arrival, planted from the very wee hours of the
morning (4:00 AM) in order to obtain this prized food and not lose this
singular opportunity. Lo and behold, the executives of SITRAMECA - together
with their minions - acquired the "best products" from the sea,
disrespecting the order of the line and in total condescension and indifference
acquired the best products, leaving only sardines for the rest of the workers
and pensioners; another inhumane and anti-revolutionary practice, showing that
the crisis brings a lot with it, to hide the food crisis. </span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="line-height: 150%;">3. The third case - no less important - is known by
all of the workers of Metro of Caracas: the extraction of currency reserves by
those who run the Worker's PDVAL (Venezuelan Food Producers and Distributors),
for the black market (bachaquera, or boot-legger). Very much in spite of having
access to the so-called point of sale, they charge cash to more than 10,000
(ten thousand) workers for CLAP boxes (Local Committees of Supply and
Production) and PDVAL. Recently, the current government created an operation,
lead by the anti-corruption police, called "Paper Hands;" they caught
,in flagrante, a few wrongdoers involved in this "unpatriotic" and
anti-sovereign activity.We demand that the Investigative Police and the
Anti-Corruption Police and the very National Executive itself, commit to the respective
investigations and finish with these individuals.</span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="line-height: 150%;">On Capitolio TV, we saw, online, the "historic" session
of the National Assembly where they had approved a preliminary hearing on merit
against the President of Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro.</span></span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #333333; line-height: 150%;">The agreement was voted on by 105 opposition
representatives (which were 112, but some spend their time travelling),
including two nationals held in contempt. For the revolutionary faction, the courageous
Juan Marín (PSUV, United Socialist Party of Venezuela) and Ilenia Medina (PPT- Patria para Todos,
or Homeland for All in its English accronym) chanted "no" and they were ridiculed. </span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #333333; line-height: 150%;">The day's agenda was sparse: "Solely: Consideration of
the request for authorization to continue the procedure for citizen Nicolás
Maduro Moros."It didn't mention who was making the request, much less the
Supreme Court "in exile," nor did it clarify the
"procedure".</span></span></span></div>

</span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0cm 0cm 11pt 1pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #333333; line-height: 150%;">It was a nominal group vote and each person, before saying
"Yes," yelled whatever: "Freedooooooom! We're
hungryyyyyyyy!" and they all applauded themselves. One representative,
with the last name Guaidó, compared the spectacle to that of the 19th of April
of 1810, but later corrected to say that, rather, here they were reviving the
spirit of the 5th of July of 1811 because that particular act "wasn't
legal either" (or rather, according to Guaidó, Venezuela's Act of
Independence was crap). </span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #333333; line-height: 150%;">But this movie has a beginning: the Supreme Court "in
exile" - via Twitter - notified President Maduro that, "In exercise
of the powers conferred by Art. 91.3 of the Constitutional Law of the Supreme
Court, we hereby notify you, by way of this Twitter account, of the advancement
of the preliminary hearing on merit, which is pursuant to you. Hon. Miguel
Martín, President." In another scene that unfolded in Bogotá, Colombia,
the "itinerant," Luisa Ortega Díaz, presented "proof" of
corruption against Maduro, present before 13 presiding justices, because the
others were "virtually present."</span></span></span></div>

without country, since everything they do will be through WhatsApp, Instagram,
Telegram, or little text messages (emojis included), and they'll have presence
of mind to think only in 280 characters without much behind it.</span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #333333; line-height: 150%;">A holographic country, imaginary, like the Republic of
Miranda. Today we have this surrealist story that recalls "The Discreet
Charm of the Bourgeoisie"(Buñuel, 1972) and its six main characters: Don
Rafael Costa, ambassador of the Republic of Miranda (let's say Antonio Ledezma
or Julio Borges); the Thévenots (Henry Ramos and Diana D'agostini); the
Sénechals (Lilian Tintori and Leopoldo López) and a corrupt bishop who
moonlights as a gardener (he could easily be played by any figure of the
national Church). This select group of bourgeois is invited to dinner, but
because of a misunderstanding they have to go to a restaurant, where they are
also not able to eat because the owner of the place has died. Meanwhile, they
talk about nothing in particular (like in the "historic" session),
for example, about the importance of ice for shots, that "...have to be
top shelf. Very cold, very strong and at 32°C," or that in order to cut
the leg of a lamb, you have to be standing... </span></span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #333333; line-height: 150%;">Suddenly, the curtain goes up and they appear seated at a
table in a theatre, as characters in some play. There's an audience who, in
turn, is seen by another audience. A dream within a dream. While they try to
understand what is happening, a hidden prompter off-stage (could be Almagro,
Rajoy, Trump, you choose) continuously dictating what they must say and do
because they don't know their lines. The session ended and we definitely think
that Buñuel's genius was ahead of its time, and that the Republic of Miranda is
the MUD...</span></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #333333;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Gonzalo Gómez belongs to the National
Directive Board of the Political Movement Marea Socialista. Regarding the
recent electoral regulations given by the Venezuelan Electoral Authority, the
Electoral National Council (CNE in its Spanish accronym), his political
organization considers antidemocratic banning the messages in favor of the
abstention in spite of exhorting the Venezuelan people to vote.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #333333;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">The Special Rules for the Electoral
Propaganda in the Media, approved by the CNE, and introduced by its authorities
will rule the Venezuelan presidential elections of 2018. According to Gonzalo
Gómez they continue a line of violation of the electoral rights adopted by the
Venezuelan National Constituent Assembly (ANC in its Spanish Accronym), the
Venezuelan Government and the very self electoral entity. It’s controlled by
Nicolás Maduro’s government according to Gómez.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #333333;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">However, “This is actually not new.
The General Rule is a Resolution approved by the National Electoral Council, in
a session celebrated on January 18th, 2013”, Gonzálo Gomez stressed.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: rgb(248, 248, 245); margin-bottom: 9.6pt;">
<span style="color: #333333;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br />
The CNE President has reminded that, “the propaganda that discourages the free exercise to the vote is fobidden”.
The Article 204 of the LOPRE General Rule, regarding the non allowed electoral
propaganda includes on its numeral 7 those propagandas that…”Discourage the
exercise to the right to vote”. For us, this provision violates the right to
the freee awareness and to express it. (Art. 64 Constitution of the Bolivarian
Republic of Venezuela) within a country where voting is not a mandatory act.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #333333;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Gonzálo Gómez represents the
political movement Marea Socialista. He unpinned from the VenezuelanUnited
Socialist Party (PSUV in its Spanish Accronym) in year 2014, and he always kept
a critic position within PSUV. Gonzalo Gómez participated in yezr 2007 in the
foundation of the main officialist party of the current Venezuelan government,
as a preexistent current. “We think this is highly ambiguous. All kind of
interpretations might arise, aimed at restricting every political freedom”. We
disagree with the argument that seeks to give that the right to abstain is an
individual issue of each voter. In a democracy, the position of the citizens
can be assumed collectively, aimed at making a social forcé around their
positions and purposes”, Gómez added. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #333333;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">“Marea Socialista doesnt’ share the
call for abstention. We perceive that there there is an interventionist agenda
behind this exhortation by the right opposition. However, there are people of
the Chavismo who are also dissapointed. There are also people from the critic
left, with their right to remonstrate these elections. That is a matter of
political opinión and awareness. This is not something to be forbidden”,
Gonzalo Gómez affirmed. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: rgb(248, 248, 245); margin-bottom: 9.6pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: rgb(248, 248, 245); margin-bottom: 9.6pt;">
<span style="color: #333333;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">In several occassions, sectors from the
left and social movements of fight assumed abstentionist positions (such as in
the 4th Republic). The former President Chávez did similar with the Bolivarian
Movement for some time. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #333333;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">“For us, those who actually
discourage the right to vote are not those who denounce the elections due to the
lack of guarantees and the arbitrary, illegitimate and illegal electoral
handling, but those who commit such violations, subdue the people to conditions
of privation of their rights and then pretend to force the people to vote by
the authors of such abuses”, the leader of Marea Socialista added. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: rgb(248, 248, 245); margin-bottom: 9.6pt;">
<br /></div>

<span style="color: #333333;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">“Marea Socialista exhorts to vote.
This time we support the presidential candidacy of Reinaldo Quijada (From UPP
89). We aspire to postulate within the frame of this Alliance the men and women
candidates to councils. We make this call, not because we believe that these
forecoming elections be clean, but because we firmly believe that the best way to
defend the people’s rights is their very own exercise of them. This, in spite
of the limitations and obstacles imposed from the elites of power. Therefore,
as citizens we do not decline in the exercise of our right to choose, to elect
and being elected. That’s why we are in favor of using the tiniest democratic
scraps left. We think this is favorable for the fight”. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #333333;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">However, according to Gómez it is
evident that “the electoral system ought to be reformed. The electoral power
must be renewed, in order to restore the electoral rights and guarantees of the
Venezuelan people. The fundamental problem is, it is seized by the Venezuelan
government. This leads to prove uncapable to stop the official advantage”.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: rgb(248, 248, 245); margin-bottom: 9.6pt;">
<span style="color: #333333;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">"I’d also like to remind you
that Marea Socialista could not start its legalization process because of whim by
the CNE. According to CNE, our political
movement was not a denomination of a party with political aims. For this reason
we had to turn up before the Supreme Tribunal of Justice (TSJ in its Spanish
accronym). The TSJ after having summoned a unique audience, has not issued any
decision to preserve our right after two years. Thus, they grant Maduro one of
the alternative names we had already reserved, and they had denied to us. We
had postulated the name of SOMOS. This evidences the official advantage we are
denouncing”, Gonzalo Gómez pointed out.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: rgb(248, 248, 245); margin-bottom: 9.6pt;">
<span style="color: #333333;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Gómez tops off: “It’s mandatory to
assure and to put ahead the real, full and free individual and social
participation in the processes, specially the ones corresponding the social
comptrollership, the transparency and the abolition of the advantage an the
governmental beaurocratic-governmental manipulation. Also from those who own
capital goods and transform the elections into commerce and a matter of money:
Out of reach of the working class, the peasants por, the popular communities
and the indigenous peoples. They are understood by its authentic sense and not
of the usurpation of its place by those who seize the power”.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #333333;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">“In order to accomplish this, it’s
also necessary to restablish the full enforcement of the Venezuelan
Constitution. It’s being extinguished by the current authoritary government.
It’s frankly also threatened by the old right wing that aspires to rule again”,
Gonzalo Gómez, from the political movement Marea Socialista, concludes.</span><span style="font-family: "palatino linotype" , serif; font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

"It is bought in unusual terms in the international (terms FOB or FAS, instead of CIF terms that was a mandatory requirement of CADIVI).

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Caracas, April 8 - Eight years ago, a user commented in a forum that he would pay 10,000 bitcoins to the person who sent him 2 pizzas. A simple challenge, ended up going down in history when dealing with the first transaction made with cryptocurrencies.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">The 10,000 bitcoins paid in that operation represented $ 25. Which means that those pizzas would have cost, according to the current price of bitcoin, approximately 75 million dollars. Of course, they did not yet know the extent of cryptocurrencies in the future.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">In this anecdote, Venezuela can be seen, since today it is going through this stage of discovery and exploration in the world of cryptocurrencies. With a petro that has not even been released in the market, many would think that it is not yet time to adapt to this reality, however, there are other criollo digital currencies that have given something to talk about.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Launched on May 29, 2017, onixcoin is the first cryptocurrency created in Venezuela. With just under a year on the market marked a milestone, since with it the first transaction was made with a Venezuelan digital currency, it was a 2010 Jeep Cherokee truck that was sold in 500,000 onixcoins.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Ángel Salazar, co-founder of this cryptocurrency, celebrated the recent success that the onix has had since the creation of the Superintendence of Cripoactives and Related Activities, since the legal framework has facilitated the operation in the country and promote a more ambitious project.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">"It went from being a social experiment to a formal project and we created four divisions to address specific aspects of onyx development. The execution has gone very well, we have formed very important alliances and we managed to be present at several important international conferences, "he explained.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">The project is in the process of constant expansion, for that reason, they have turned to neighboring countries to promote their currency and establish strategic alliances. Negotiations have been held in the Dominican Republic, Mexico, Panama, Argentina, Colombia and Brazil, where even Onyx will be listed in an exchange house. They have also attracted advisers from the United States, South Korea and Sweden. They even have an offer of alliance from the United States.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">"The international brand recognition of what the onix project is doing in Venezuela is being noticed. We are growing, our goal is to convert the onix into the bitcoin of Latin America, "he said.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">One of the benefits generated by the expansion of the cryptocurrency in different exchange houses in the region, would be the sending of remittances from relatives abroad to their countries of origin with the use of onixcoins.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Crypto society. Since the creation of the petroleum was announced and the handling of cryptocurrencies in the country was legalized, Venezuelan society has acquired great interest in digital money.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Salazar said that the community that moves in the world of digital assets has grown organically and a large part of the population does not know about the subject but wants to learn about it.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">"When you go to an international conference, you realize that everyone here is handling the issue. In a local conference, the vast majority is unaware of the issue but everyone wants to learn, "he said.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Faced with the wave of enthusiasts seeking to invest in these types of alternatives to safeguard against inflation, Salazar recommends that they be documented before completing any business, since it is necessary to know how cryptocurrencies are used, and how the market interacts to avoid create false expectations.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">The government of the United States issued a decree in which every American citizen is prohibited from carrying out any transaction or business involving the petro or any other instrument based on the Blockchain technology created by the Venezuelan government.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Although these sanctions affect the main Venezuelan cryptocurrency, the other crypts are not affected, according to Ángel Salazar, co-founder of the Onix currency.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">"Directly they will not affect the other cryptocurrencies, because the sanctions are against the petro. It is a problem with the government, but not with the crypts. Onix is even a free software, we do not own the codes, "he explained.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">The impact, particularly on the onix, has been null, even Salazar has received proposals from the United States to establish strategic alliances with investors from that country.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Regarding the possibility that sanctions may generate fear among potential investors, Salazar argues that they "can read, they can interpret, and those who are getting involved can also investigate", so it is unlikely that they will be carried away by the decree.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">In an interview with Esquerda.net, Gonzalo Gomez, spokesman for Marea Socialista, denounced that the Venezuelan Constituent Assembly is "adapting the Venezuelan political and economic regime to the interests of the bureaucracy and its process of assimilation to capital." The government of Nicolás Maduro deepens the extractive policy and the transnationals expelled by Chavez return. By Luis Leiria.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><b>When the elections for the Constituent Assembly of Maduro were held, the movement Marea Socialista denounced it them as an undemocratic coup, which was intended to avoid the convening of general elections at that time. What role has the Constituent Assembly played since then?</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Well, first of all, it must be said that this Constituent Assembly was convened in the margins of that established by the Constitution of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, which establishes the need to hold a prior consultation in a referendum so that it can be convened. And that it is necessary to submit to popular consideration, in this consultation, the conditions of the call. Nonetheless, they convened this Constituent Assembly and established rules that ensured the State apparatus and the PSUV the ability to shape the Constituent National Assembly (ANC). Therefore, regardless of whether it has been subjected to elections, it turns out to be a constituent of constituted power, not of sovereign popular power.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">It is true that some of the leaders of workers 'or peasants' trade unions are in the Constituent Assembly, but we are talking about something purely functional to the state bureaucracy and where the predominant are people who even had functions in government, such as ministers or vice ministers, or presidents of State enterprises, or holders of important positions as ambassadors, etc. That is to say: it is not reflected the popular movement and the expressions of popular power. And I would like to say that, in Venezuela, these expressions have been copied, patronized, and instrumentalized at the service of the party-state apparatus. Thus, the Constituent, I insist, is not of popular and sovereign power, but of the constituted power that usurps popular sovereignty with a semblance of legitimacy.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><b>A situation was created with a Constituent Assembly and a National Assembly.</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Yes, there has been a kind of duality of powers, but in reality there is a process of concentration of all powers with authoritarian, pseudo-institutional and legal-looking mechanisms.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">At this moment, the Supreme Court of Justice is completely subordinate to the government; the National Assembly was considered "in contempt" because four Members were accused of being fraudulently elected. Instead of suspending these four votes, what they did was to invalidate all decisions of the National Assembly, without ever being called new elections to replace these deputies. Faced with an assembly that was won by the right and by the political sectors linked to the traditional bourgeoisie, the form used to annul the loss of this House was an antidemocratic subterfuge, because the obligation of Maduro's government was to rescue the popular vote, to win support to maintain control of the assembly, but with a correct policy.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><b>The General Attorney was removed...</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Yes, indeed. The General Attorney was dismissed and replaced for having questioned the Supreme Court of Justice and also questioned the convening of the National Constituent Assembly in these terms. But we must also say that what has been the National Constituent Assembly and the way it has operated is not something that we can consider progressive, or in tune with the Bolivarian Revolution. First, because there is almost no discussion, debate, elaboration of proposals that come from below. In addition to making a few rallies, with many applause, there are no mechanisms to collect the will of the Venezuelan people.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">And what the ANC has approved is regressive. Their aim is to dismantle the revolutionary process. This ANC is placed as plenipotentiary, as supraconstitutional, leaving us in a situation of almost suspended and uncertainty regarding the validity of the Constitution of 99, Chavez. Among the things I can mention, recently approved by the ANC, is a constitutional decree-law protecting foreign investment. That replaces the way in which transnational corporations and the investments of other countries take part in conditions prejudicial to the sovereignty. And this was said by some prominent intellectuals, such as Luis Brito García, an important writer who has generally had positions of support to the government of Nicolás Maduro. He pointed out that with decisions like this, the result is to undermine the basis of what has been won in terms of national sovereignty in the Chávez period. So if we see what the ANC is doing, it is not strengthening workers' rights or regulating labor. What it is doing is to adapt the political regime and the Venezuelan economic regime to a new situation that responds to the interests of the bureaucracy and its process of assimilation to capital.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><b>It is a total paradox ...</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">There is a story that shows well the character of this National Constituent Assembly and why it is not a Constituent of popular power. In the elections for mayor of Simón Planas, in the state of Lara, a candidate was nominated as a candidate whose designation was made by election in the commune of El Maizal, a peasant commune, productive and fairly well organized. This candidate, Angel Prado, presented himself and the Communist Party and the PPT, members of the Patriotic Pole that supports Maduro, decided to replace an earlier candidacy, in which they went with the PSUV, and present this candidate. The National Electoral Council did not change the name of the candidate on the electoral list and the ANC said that it did not authorize this constituent to run for election. He had to obtain authorization from the ANC. But many leaders of the PSUV who were constituents were allowed to be candidates. The people of this commune took to the streets to protest, closed roads, made popular assemblies, went to the National Electoral Council, went to the Supreme Court of Justice, demanding that Prado be declared victorious. Where a commune has won, the political regime of this Constituent Assembly refuses to acknowledge it. One does not want that the popular power has real space of power in the institutions.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><b>After the Constituent Assembly elections, there were already municipal and regional elections, summoned by surprise, which resulted in a victory for Maduro...</b></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">What happens is that the elections that are to be convened in Venezuela are under undemocratic, disadvantageous, irregular conditions, summoned by surprise, compress the electoral calendars, change the rules from night to morning, there are registered candidates who are not accepted ... When they can not have another resource, they even remove candidates in the middle of the process and even arrest them. We denounced the case of the former mayor of Cumaná, in the state of Sucre, who had been a candidate for governor, and shortly thereafter, did not run for the mayoral elections but was at the head of the promotion of 15 candidates from that state . He was then arrested, charged with embezzlement, supposedly four years earlier when he was in the chamber. I learned that the accusation was that he had not returned a gun that is given to the mayors for his defense, but he showed the return minutes. Still they kept him in jail and the trial was postponed. And so he was held until recently.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">It is in these conditions that we participate in the elections.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">But I must say that Marea Socialista, despite denouncing these elections, decides to participate because we think that we can not renounce our citizens' rights. We must try to exercise them, whenever and when we make this frontal complaint. We participated in alliance with another organization that has legality, because the Socialist Tide was prevented from starting its legalization process. They did not authorize us to collect signatures under our name. And we introduced alternative names. One of them was "We". Which has now been used by the President of the Republic to name that kind of party movement that created Nicolás Maduro to have a game of two formulas in the elections, and who knows what other purposes. It is a party assembled with the apparatus of the State and with the resources of the State.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">But we at Marea were prevented from starting the legalization process. We were denied by the National Electoral Council and we appealed to the Supreme Court of Justice, which summoned a hearing, in what became practically a political trial, questioning that we could use the name of Socialists because we attacked the government; and then never again called the trial hearing. The Supreme Court never made a pronouncement, so we could never begin the process of legalization.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">But we were in alliance with the Popular Political Unit 89 (UPP 89) and I must say that of the 385 municipalities we managed to present applications in 181 and that in several states and municipalities we obtained very important results. Some cases of candidates who obtained 30 and 40%, 20 or 15%, considerable percentages. In some places, such as the Portuguesa state, this electoral force was the second, immediately after the PSUV. We think there are places where those who stayed in 2nd or 3rd places could have stayed in 1st. But you have to face the use of the media, communicative hegemony of the state apparatus, you have to face the use of state resources, you have to face the use of the security corps used to intimidate ... A number of conditions that deny what we could understand a socialist democracy or participatory democracy that was inscribed in the Constitution.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Socialism is not a trap. Socialism can not be done with discrimination. Socialism must have breadth, participation, debates, discussion. With opportunities to intervene and this can be used for decision-making. It is not that Nicolás Maduro asks: "let me get ten proposals" and from all subsides of the party and social organizations come thousands of paperwork with ten proposals. But then we do not know what happens, who selects them, which are the majority. This is the scenario: simulation.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><b>And what do you think of the presidential elections scheduled for April 1?</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">They were summoned for April, although constitutionally they should be held in December. They argued that the opposition had called for the advance of the elections as a mechanism for Nicolas Maduro's departure.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">But as the government has been able to build on this new manipulative electoral model, it feels safe enough to be able to call and win elections, even if they are a minority. And this is the situation that exists now. Most of the opposition will not stand for election. Some were because they were being outlawed, or because they no longer had the opportunity to participate because they did not meet requirements, others because the court withdrew their candidates the right to present themselves.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">There were no agreements in the negotiations made by the MUD and the government - and I must say we are against, since it is intended to resolve the affairs of the country between the right-wing opposition and Maduro's government. What about the rest of the paper? What are we, the others? What are the rest of the political opposition and the rest of the social organizations? They can meet in the Dominican Republic with mediators who have been linked to bourgeois governments and who have their connections with sectors of imperialism to decide what will happen to the country.

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">We intended to promote an application that emerged from what is known as the critical, democratic chavismo of the radical left that questions the government of Nicolás Maduro. In fact, we participate in a platform where there are several of the former ministers and former Chavez ministers who had a very important participation. We have been working together with them, who have been removed from government, but not because they are corrupt or because they are not ashamed. They were pushed aside because they defended the "coup" Chavez spoke of before his death, a shift of democratic radicalization of the Bolivarian Revolution to achieve its objectives.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">The deadlines set by the government, the conditions under which the elections were convened, do not allow the time for discussions, agreements, consensuses, and the construction of joint programs. The devices have already solved everything. They already have candidates, they already have proposals, everything is ready and set up. It is only then that they announce the elections and summon the others. And they do not give the time, reasonable deadlines, to be able to solve the situation.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">The organization with which we went to the elections decided to launch its candidate: UPP 89 will launch Reinaldo Quijada. We intended to have room to discuss other possible applications, including some arising from this group of former ministers of President Chavez, or from any other source. It was also possible to agree on programmatic proposals and the formation of a government team discussed with the people. Because it is not presidentialism, the figure. It is about being able to assemble teams of fighters and fighters of the revolution to be able to say to the country: "There is a possibility here of the exercise of a revolutionary and popular governability."</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">We still do not have a decision about what we're going to do. In principle we are inclined to participate in the electoral processes. Deciding a presidential figure in these conditions is not the same as participating in the presidential election to gain local achievements to advance revolutionary work. The situation is different. But the options we have are: Maduro, those who are right and agree to participate, who are very few - a couple of candidates - or some applications that have appeared and that have the characteristic of being critical, or have broken for the left with the government by Nicolás Maduro. Among them was the one I mentioned, and General Francisco Visconti Osorio, who was a companion of Chávez on February 4, 1992, in the civic-military uprising, was also the commander of a second action that that same year, which was that of November 27. He identifies himself as Bolivarian, claims to be in favor of the Communal State and of a constituent process, despite having some proposals that from our point of view have an antiparty character - he distinguishes between parties and popular and social movements, we think they have of the existence of different forms of organization - and also considers that socialism and communism, Marxism, are Eurocentric expressions, and that Venezuela, as a mestizo country, should not adopt these guidelines. Despite making statements in defense of the shape of the communal state.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Well, as you see, there is much to review and discuss and we have relationships with both sectors. The other alternative would be abstention. There are some sectors of critical Chavism who are willing to make alliances with right-wing organizations because they say that it is necessary to form a strong opposition and get Maduro out anyway, but we do not think that is the alternative. There must be a broad framework, but that claims or values the achievements of the Bolivarian Revolution, and at the same time marks their very serious deformations.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Over time, a power elite emerged from the bureaucracy that was accumulating capital through corruption, through the embezzlement of the Nation, which became a kind of lumpen bourgeoisie. That is why in Venezuela what happens. Because there is a change in the class condition of what was the direction of the Bolivarian Revolution.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><b>Some people call it a Bolibourgeoisie ...</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Yes, they are bourgeois sectors that are linked to the government and were favored for their business, which financed the leaders, or the high officials...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><b>At the same time, the economic situation continues to be catastrophic...</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">The economic situation is terrible because what has been applying the government of Nicolás Maduro is a deep and crude plan of adjustment. Measures of economic adjustment against the working class. They say they are against neoliberalism and all these things. But if you have a situation in which they take a worker's salary to a level of between 3 to 4 euros a month, anyone can imagine the meaning.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><b>It's impossible to live...</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">The salary was crushed. The government says it's an economic war. It started a wild lock. There are some of these things; but more than economic war, what prevails is the logic of capital, the pursuit of profit. And in this, too, the bureaucracy that has embezzled the country, brought resources abroad, has money in tax havens because it has transacted with the transnationals and has taken advantage of this because it is opening the way to the entry of the transnationals and the emerging imperialisms in the country, for example in the Mining Arc. The state bureaucracy is involved in extractive smuggling, to withdraw products from the country, to use imports, even food, to benefit from the exchange differential with fraudulent, fictitious imports. Now there is a serious problem with the milk that is imported from Mexico into the boxes of the CLAP(2), it is said that it is affecting the children because it is an improper milk.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">At the same time, they pay the debt and they sacrifice the people to pay for it. A revolutionary government would at least have to start by auditing it, and once done, say, "Well, this part of the debt is illegitimate and we do not recognize it." But they can not do this because they are involved in buying and negotiating debt bonds acquired in Bolivars but can be traded in dollars. The change is paid and received, as they say in Venezuela. That is, there are interests of the bureaucracy itself in debt. They are interested in being "good payers" of debt, but not because this is a moral quality.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Against this, it is evident that we can not support the government of Nicolás Maduro. We think that this government has to be replaced, but not by the right-wing opposition. We must build a political, revolutionary and popular alternative that will recover the keys of the Bolivarian Revolution, overcome its mistakes and deviations and move on. This is not an easy task.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Obviously we are also against any form of interference or foreign interference.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><b>There was a lot of talk about that possibility. Is there a danger of a US intervention?</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">This danger should never be ruled out. And we believe that the politics of the bureaucracy of the party-state makes us more vulnerable to the possibility of intervention, because they break the alliance with the people, they allow the imperialist interests in concrete, in the economic life, through corruption...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">We have the imperialist intervention, but it comes from China, Russia, and the trasnationals that are being reintroduced into the Venezuelan economy. We are afraid of the damage that is being done to the Bolivarian Revolution. Then we have the potentiality of the intervention.</span><br />

Her penultimate book, Sexual Neoliberalism: The Myth of Free Will, clarifies the Circuito de Jerez's umbrella girls controversy, a topic that caused an uproar in the town and that went on to spread all around the world. During this month of feminist causes, the philosopher visited the Jerezano city to give a talk on Feminism's Challenges: A World with a Way, organised by Ganemos Jerez, at the ONCE conference centre. </span></span></div>

And Anglo-Saxon feminism has an immense influence in Spain. Authors like Judith Butler or some French ... And in the newspapers of the Anglo-Saxon world, it has been written that we have been in a fourth wave for 10 years. The refer to this "cool feminism" that actresses subscribe to and that is becoming increasingly fashionable. Like, Beyoncé refused to dance with boys and always dance with women. Feminism was taking spaces in a series of things with a lot of visibility: cinema, video clips, singers, fashion ... And the impact of new technologies, above all. These have given feminism a dimension it did not have before, which was to come from bloggers, YouTubers ... who exercise, as they call them influencers, a lot of influence on girls and boys.</span></span></div>

Feminism, slowly - too slow, because we have been at it for more than 200 years - one convinces several more, and those, several more. It is a very slow conscious-raising process, and it has to be supported because women have a stronger position in society, more power in the sense of capability. Not in the sense of ownership, but in having capability. Letting our opinion be heard, being in the media, the ability to have studied and be in school ... In that sense, the Weinstein thing had a lot to do with Woody Allen's children. Woody Allen's son has spent years devoted to making the Hollywood community see what it means to underestimate his father's sexual abuse. It was him who started an investigation. Everyone knew it, right? But someone has to create an environment of "this is how far this has gone". Which is what happens in revolts, in revolutions. It's the slow process in which women go on to consider themselves people, and then that which was tolerable before - like getting patted on the butt - suddenly, it no longer is.</span></span></div>

In the first half, Catherine comes out naked, dancing in a cabaret. A dance where you see how sexy she is and how well she dances. And the other woman looks at her with a lot of envy. And while she's looking, a guy walks by, touches her butt, and in the following scene she is seen sleeping with him. And she was sleeping with him to get a spot and, whatever way she could, be able to become a chorus girl, to work. It was being seen as something absolutely normal. And they idealised it profoundly, "oh, how cool!" A 90's sex scene. </span></span></div>

But it's that in the 90's, we were trained to use sexuality for everything and it's all good. Almodóvar has trained us to think that being a whore is wonderful, as it is raping transsexuals. And it's such a tiresome thing.</span></span></div>

But in the city there were more detractors than supporters, with the argument that they were going to lose their jobs, when they were thinking of relocating them.

However, we see how this ripples out: Formula 1, the bike race... The moment that women are presented as human beings, then, to see us or our sisters as part of the decor... One, whose meaning is to be a decorative ornament and a sexual ornament, because they aren't anything else, they're part of the background. Two, her attitude: to serve a regular human, who is the one to drive, climb a mountain, give a talk... And on television, we'll see those assistants that are everywhere, as well. Then someone can say, okay lady, if they want it... First of all, any person would want, if tomorrow we allowed polygamy, of course a lot of people will want it, but the fact is, which structures and which institutions do we want for a society working toward equality? And well, us women, we don't miss anything if we don't see half-naked guys all the time. What's more, good things happen to us because we do not learn and internalize that boys are beautiful pieces of meat at our service, while we perform our work clothed.</span></span></div>

I'm tired of being with teenagers, and there is not one who considers that her arms are okay. None, because, for example, in the series Wyoming, Sandra Sabatés comes out everyday showing her beautiful, shapely arms. I have been invited several times and if I go, I'll say, I'm going, but I want to see your shapely arms. Why does she have to look like this? It's not even that she's there as a sexual reference, but rather that girls are seeing others' nice bodies all day. And from that they don't come out well.</span></span></div>

Period, so then, how, in an egalitarian society, how are you going to introduce that idea to them. Women are pieces of meat for you to be able to cum.

What is being is constructed is the core of a person for a repugnant neoliberal, capitalist society predisposed to "so what about everyone else?" Only your own pleasure matters to you.

To make them more of a body than a mind. As bodies, women have performed many services in general, and for men in particular. To take care of the other bodies. I don't like to talk about "bodies" so much, as I believe that people are human beings and the body is part of the package, but for this very thing is the damage society does to women.</span></span></div>

Because if it doesn't reproduce - ah! - everything ends here! It's something very important, but concretely, to reproduce men. Because if you haven't realised, you take your father's last name, and you keep it because you are more of your father than of your mother. That it's your last name is the indelible symbol that you were born more by your father than by your mother, which is where you were baked.

There, feminism has fought for the freedom of women, right? So then freedom for the women who want to do it. And just like that, so simple, with this cute little twist. Have you all fought to be free? Now you are going to be free to do freely what you previously did out of obligation. And then see who is able to oppose in a society that values freedom and where in all of the educational institutions, all of the boys and girls are already convinced that that's freedom, to choose how you're going to dress, or to choose whether or not you're a whore.</span></span></div>

I didn't even know that cat-calls still existed. I, as a person from the north, from Santander, or perhaps because of age... I observe that men have given us slaps on the butt as much as they wanted, when I was little, they pinched you, they put their hands on you.... But cat-calls.... This seems to me an unwarranted invasion in someone's personal space. But what worries me more is to see boys, and I see them constantly, spitting on the ground. Groups of 15 year-olds, 50 year-old men, 70 year-olds.... And without batting an eyelash. Me, more than hearing cat-calls to people, what I see them doing is spitting. Think about it, this is what they're doing in a public space. I don't ever see a woman spitting, unless it's an older person who has to. But, what the hell do they thing about public space? That it's theirs? But the thing about cat-calls... Whether a man or woman walks by in the street and the thing is, I couldn't imagine saying anything about their physique or anything else. I don't understand why others have to do so.</span></span></div>

Lenin, the leader of the Soviet Revolution, wanted some special work done with working-class women in order to make them communists. Because he was saying that women were the most backwards part of society. Since they were religious, family caretakers, more conservative... There had to be a special project to teach them the Marxist economy, the theory of the state and the revolution... But them, the workers, they would get together and they only wanted to talk about marriage issues, love, sexuality, how unhappy and bitter they felt toward their male companions, for how badly they treated them, surely with violence, or how they spent the little money they had in corner brothels or on drinking.</span></span></div>

The first revolutionary state in danger and the workers' minds at night devoted to talking about issues of love and family in the present and future. Marxist feminists like Aleksandra Kolontái, of course they reflected on the economic, and on the subject of caretaking, and that men should start doing the caretaking, but they also talked about all of the subjects related to how unempowered they were, how they were being treated - like nothing - and about sexuality, a lot about love, taking care of children...</span></span></div>

About why men don't do anything around the house, about why men consider themselves the generic human being, about why everything they want to do in sexual and emotional relations is tolerated, like having two families, having illegitimate children running around. Now, that said, in the world in which we live, works is absolutely necessary because it is the basis of autonomy, intellectual, emotional, moral autonomy.</span></span></div>

It's that those men, what they do is gaslight, saying, "Your problem is something in which, eh, look, something about which I can't do anything, the evil CEO or the evil government are the ones maintaining the wage gap."

Read a book that tells you what feminism is, where we came from. In 200 years, how the women's struggle has been. Why men have put so many obstacles to get where we have come today. Why are we always making our demands and they, you know, look the other way. They have to sit down and read it. Feminism is a complete theory of life. We can no longer continue giving them private classes on stools at bars. We can't be holding debates that bore us because we have been doing it for 35 years.</span></span></div>

You have to know the causes of how inequality reproduces in order to attack them. And that you can only do by studying. The first thing is to understand the logic of the system, to understand how inequality is reproduced, how it is legitimized, and then to know how to begin to carry out actions that truly transform the patriarchal society.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">A persistent media and intellectual campaign tries to show us as a useless country, unable to produce what it consumes and totally dependent from imports. Therefore, the parasite of exporting one only and unique product: Oil. Its prices would doom us alternatively to peakes of squandering and abyss of economic depression. This feeds the myth of the "rentist" Venezuela (based on the ignorance that the economic science, from David Ricardo, accepts that the <i>only source of "rent"</i> is labor). The Venezuelans are blamed and convinced that we must prepare for the worst, from the unconditional delivery of our resources and even the most twisted indebtedness operations, for we don't deserve anything.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">A detailed data analysis unveils the reality. We will use the figures of the <i>Food Balance Sheet</i>. For decades, it has been compiled and published by the National Nutrition Institute. Also, studied and summarized for several years by the sharp Pascualina Curcio Curcio. Pascualina's conclussions are overwhelming. Similar to her previous work <i>The Visible Hand of the Market: the Economic War in Venezuela</i>. When studying the figures from 1980 to 2013 (latest available year), she finds that 88% of the total availability in the food production has been of approximately %88, whereas imports represent %12.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">This results will astonish readers. In case of doubt, you can check the original figures in the Food Balance Sheet. As an example, we appoint several magnitudes in approximate manner, since we verified graphics with bars. In 1980, Venezuela prodiced 22,500,000 metric tons of food, and imported 4,000,000. In 2013, it produced around 46,000,000 millions of metric tons and imported 8,000,000. That would totalize around %88 of internal production and %12 of imports.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">By year 2013, according to the same source, the food availability rose to 51 million metric tons. From them, 43 million were produced in Venezuela. Let's analyze by approximation some magnitudes. That same year we would have produced 8,100,00 metric tons of cereals, and imported around 4,800,00 tons. We produced 9,200,000 tons of sugar and honey, and imported 980,000. We produced close to 9,250,000 tons of meat and imported 400,000.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><span style="line-height: 1.5;">5 </span><span style="line-height: 1.5;">How is possible then the food shortage and the exponential growth of prices?Neither corn nor rice, not even the sugar cane are watered with preferential dollars. It's not possible either that in a few years a proportion of 88% of the food produced in the country has disappeared. An oligopoly of businesses and distributors leaks the products through the Venezuelan border, or sets the prices we pay for what we produce in the regions according to a quotation of foreign currencies set abroad. It doses what arrives and what does not reach the consumer. We had never suffered so much in benefit of so few. That is the origin of the scarcity, and the key to put an end to it.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><b>By Toby Valderrama and Antonio Aponte </b></span><o:p></o:p></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: #F8F8F5; line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 9.0pt;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-size: 13.5pt; line-height: 150%;">Capitalism is a kingdom
of lies, the deception begins in its very essence: the appropriation of work
and social wealth on behalf of a minority. Social scientists, lead by Marx,
have revealed the forms of this deception. Upon this fundamental deception is
formed an apparatus of lies. Lies, falsehood - it's essential to the capitalist
system; it's so common, so sophisticated that it passes unnoticed. The system
maintains itself by masking its fraudulent nature.</span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: #F8F8F5; line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 9.0pt;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-size: 13.5pt; line-height: 150%;">When a capitalist
government like the one we're suffering neglects the masking of the lie, it
runs into problems; when it maintains itself by lying flagrantly, without
keeping up appearances; if it's trigger-happy and fires off lies
helter-skelter, the entire system of domination runs into problems. </span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: #F8F8F5; line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 9.0pt;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-size: 13.5pt; line-height: 150%;">In recent days, the
government's lying hysteria has worsened: Smartmatic, the company providing
machines for elections, distanced itself from the government; they can't
certify the results that they claim are altered in the millions. If we remember
that during the presidential elections the margin was 200,000, we understand
the gravity of the scheme. In conclusion: elections are a big lie. </span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: #F8F8F5; line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 9.0pt;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-size: 13.5pt; line-height: 150%;">Of the discussions in
the Dominican, nothing is known about what happened; all parties are accused of
lying and the truth is, he didn't go to that meeting. The president tells us
that the day following his electoral victory, he'll implement an economic
project that will get us out of the crisis; he won't say what it is, doesn't
elaborate; everything becomes just another lie. </span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: #F8F8F5; line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 9.0pt;">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt; line-height: 150%;">During these days of remembrance for
Comandante Chavez, he has caused a lot of uneasiness for high-ranking
government officials; their conscience stirred, plagued by the dismembering of
the Comandante's philosophy, and they started talking about socialism; from the
garbage bin of Miraflores they dug out the Plan for the Nation, they came all
out against capitalism; it was like an intoxication, lies raining down on the
country.Foreign visitors were incredulous before such deception. It was a
theatre of the absurd. However, the capitalists aren't worried, they know
they're blowhards, a bark worse than the bite. To Mendoza they gave the strong
bolivar, for the supermarkets they covered losses due to excess auditing,
dollars rain down, nationalisations are reversed, selfishness sets in.</span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: #F8F8F5; line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 9.0pt;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-size: 13.5pt; line-height: 150%;">Those in government
feel supported, anything can be said to the people as long as they're given a
bonus that isn't worth anything. They cheat the unsuspecting, whoever has money
feels rich although they can't buy anything - this is one of the fantasies of
inflation.</span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: #F8F8F5; line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 9.0pt;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-size: 13.5pt; line-height: 150%;">One of the government's
primary problems is that it acts like a fugitive: a capitalist is a thief, they
steal, but have to respect certain rules that allow the reproduction of the
system. The criminal also steals, or let us say bootlegger (or hostage-taker),
