Psychological warfare methods, conspiracy theories and far-sighted scenarios will of course follow, one after the other. But beyond all this noise, there is a much deeper, much more fundamental reality in Venezuela - and in Latin America in general:
Beyond a strong opposition, a strong and lasting anti-imperialist wave has always existed.
This anti-imperialist continuity has preserved and strengthened itself in every period of history.
This wave has reached a level of consciousness that will not be “eaten” by North America even in the new era. The US-U.S.A. will not be able to break this wave, no matter what method it tries.
Because the issue can no longer be reduced to a simple power-opposition equation.
What is at stake here is direct sovereignty and self-determination.
ANTI-IMPERIALIST CONSCIOUSNESS: IS NO LONGER A REFLEX, IT HAS REACHED A HISTORICAL COLLECTIVE LEVEL!
The current stance of Latin America - especially Venezuela - is the product of a historical continuity. Anti-imperialist consciousness is no longer a momentary reflex, it is the common memory of the peoples.
This is a simple but undeniable fact.
The classical methods of the US-U.S.A. and imperial centers in general are well known:
- Economic strangulation and embargoes,
- Defamation through the media,
- Aligning internal opposition with the rhetoric of “democracy”,
- Elite breakouts and attempts to unravel from within.
These are not new. They are methods that have been tried in every period of history and completed with coup attempts.
But today there is a problem:
The peoples of Latin America recognize this language.
He no longer surrenders to a manipulation he recognizes.
THE REALITY OF VENEZUELA: A MATTER OF SOVEREIGNTY, NOT LEADERSHIP
The existence of a strong opposition in Venezuela is undeniable. However, a significant part of this opposition is aware of the need to distance itself from the imperial centers.
Because in Venezuela, the label of “US-backed opposition” is still a heavy burden of legitimacy in the eyes of the people.
Therefore it is not just about Maduro,
nor a single political figure.
The issue is sovereignty.
WHY IS THE WAVE IN LATIN AMERICA DIFFERENT?
In the past, coups, CIA operations and military juntas could achieve results. Today, the picture has changed radically:
* Regional solidarity has strengthened,
* Historical traumas are alive in the memory of peoples,
* Popular movements and governments are more horizontal,
* The Bolivarian Revolution line has produced a patriotic ground,
* The myth of the “Savior USA” has collapsed.
The following observation is therefore key:
“In this new era, too, there is a strong anti-imperialist wave that will not fall prey to North America.”
This wave is not romantic.
It is a hardened consciousness, fixed by experience.
WHY CAN'T ABD-U.S.A BREAK THIS CONSCIOUSNESS?
Because now every intervention is an attempt:
- The legitimacy of the US-U.S.A. is eroding faster,
- It strengthens the opposition blocs,
- It has to be carried out at the same time as its own internal crises.
The result is this:
Old moves are counterproductive.
This is not a wish; it is an observation that captures the spirit of the period.
CRITICAL WARNING: ANTI-IMPERIALISM ALONE IS NOT ENOUGH!
The Latin American governments, acting in the direction of the Bolivarian Revolution, have to feed anti-imperialism with concrete populist policies.
If you do:
- If corruption grows,
- If the bureaucracy is disconnected from the people,
- If the rhetoric of “we made a revolution!” does not touch everyday life,
Anti-imperialist consciousness alone is not enough. The process can remain weak unless it is supported by the internal resistance capacity of the people and concrete populist policies. Imperialism finds its way through the weakness of the internal structure, not from outside.
This is true not only for Venezuela, but for the whole region.
Anti-imperialist consciousness has to be made vital, not just theoretical. Otherwise it weakens.
PEOPLES WITH THE SAME STORY
Today, there are no longer individual countries.
There are peoples who have lived the same story:
Chile, Bolivia, Venezuela, Colombia, Argentina, Nicaragua, Cuba...
Different experiences, same memory.
When this memory is combined, the U.S.-U.S.A. strategy of “isolate-destroy” does not work.
USA'S INTERNAL DECAY AND GLOBAL DISRUPTION
This point is often overlooked:
U.S.-U.S.A. no more;
- It cannot claim the “moral high ground” (including in Europe, and more recently in the Middle East),
- It does not make the “export of democracy” credible,
- It cannot hide its internal class contradictions.
The peoples of Latin America no longer look at the U.S.-U.S.A. as a model, but as a warning, an invasion and a coup attempt.
This is a psychological threshold. Once crossed, there is no going back.
”THE ”BACKYARD" ERA IS OVER!
“The traditional methods of the ”backyard" era no longer work. The anti-imperialist line has gained strength and resistance; although the process is not complete, it is not easy to go back
The question is clear:
Will this continent determine its own destiny, or will it again become a “backyard”?
The answer is clear:
“The era of the ”backyard" is over.
The US-U.S.A. will continue to intervene:
But he will no longer be able to achieve them;
- To keep them in line through fear,
- Overthrowing a regime in one move,
- To make the peoples believe in the fairy tale of the “savior”...
Because there are no longer just governments, but peoples with HISTORICAL EXPERIENCE.
THE POLYCENTRIC WORLD AND THE FEAR OF THE US
Colombia, Iran, Denmark...
These are not targets, but scenes played to the audience.
The US-U.S.A. message is this:
- “I am still the center!”(!)(?)
But no one takes positions according to the US-U.S.A. anymore.
Global decision-making is no longer centralized; the influence of different power centers has increased. This is not a coordinated bloc, but a dispersed and polycentric structure:
Decisions are made in Beijing,
The balance is in Moscow,
The focus is on Delhi.
This is not an alliance but simultaneous independence.
This is what the US-U.S.A. fears the most:
* A polycentric world that he cannot control...!
THE TRUMP AFFAIR: A STRUCTURAL EROSION
Trump's problem is not personal, it is structural.
Trump:
- He denigrates alliances,
- He underestimates corporate diplomacy,
- It challenges the system by saying “I am in”.
In the short term, it is no longer in a position to receive applause and make noise
In the long run, the soft power of the US has also eroded.
The picture that emerges is this:
- Feared but not respected,
- Powerful but not trusted,
- Intervening but unable to direct...
And this is a deadly combination for the US-U.S.A. ”empire”.
Conclusion;
US-U.S.A. is not over.
But the world, the so-called “New World Order”, in which the US-U.S.A. is the sole determinant, is bankrupt.
The ”BOP”, the US-U.S.A. “empire” project, which was to encompass the US-U.S.A. hegemony of the Middle East and which was to be decisive, has come to an end.
This is bankruptcy and the end:
- Not with a tank,
- Not by a coup,
- Not overnight,
Slowly, the options multiply.
This is not a story of collapse;
It is a story of the disintegration of the center.
In this new era, the peoples of the world are learning together that beyond borders and flags, freedom and dignity cannot be held hostage by any force.
Zionist Israel and the imperialist U.S.-U.S.A. aggression and the attempt to invade Iran have proved this to the eyes of the peoples of the world and still continue to do so.
The anti-imperialist line has gained strength and the peoples have gained historical experience in this process. The struggle continues, but it can no longer be taken over as easily as before.
The example of Iran proves this: After 47 years of embargo, a country can survive, but in its own short-lived embargo, the world cannot!
May the peoples of the world be enlightened.
