SACP Expresses Its Message of Revolutionary Solidarity With the People of South America Against U.S Imperialism
1 April 2015
The South African Communist Party (SACP) expresses its profound and firmest solidarity with the people and the government of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela in the face of imperialist threats from the United States (U.S). As the SACP we will join the planned activities, particularly the International Day of Solidarity with Venezuela, on 19 April. The International Day of Solidarity was adopted by a broad spectrum of political parties meeting in Mexico City recently.
The U.S policy towards South America reached a new low recently when President Barack Obama invoked powers to declare the so-called "national emergency with respect to the unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security and `foreign policy of the United States` posed by the situation in Venezuela". We believe that through this imperialist declaration the U.S is preparing grounds to launch a military attack on Venezuela and/or isolate it while supporting regime change through active interference backing right-wing groupings.
Similarly, sections of the population in Brazil have embarked on marches to demand the "foreign intervention of the U.S" to unseat democratically elected President Dilma Rousseff.
In Argentina, Chile and elsewhere on the continent, notwithstanding the huge challenges that confront the process of progressive transformation, such as slow economic growth, corruption allegations, etc., the United States` imperialist onslaught to regain lost right-wing ground in its declared "backyard" is visible throughout. This seeks to reverse progressive gains and reassert imperialist exploitation and domination.
U.S actions should be seen in the same vein as its sponsored 1970s Operation Condor - "a campaign of political repression and state terror involving intelligence operations and assassination of opponents, officially implemented in 1975 by the right-wing dictatorships of South America". According to declassified files, the United States has aided and facilitated Condor operations as a matter of secret but routine policy. Those right-wing dictatorships which it backed have since been dislodged by the wave of progressive governments and popular power.
The U.S has now blatantly rehabilitated its traditional imperial posture towards the global South of the Western Hemisphere and challenges the continent-wide Bolivarian cause of Latin America and the Caribbean, independence and sovereignty. It has effectively sent a go-ahead to the ultra-right opposition that has been behind much of the instability and violent clashes in Brazil and Venezuela during the last period to unleash the same on a rampant basis.
The threat posed by the U.S foreign policy in South America and the Caribbean region is but a part of the overall global strategy to intensify imperialist domination in the aftermath of the persisting system crises. This tyranny is actually unleased against all of the peoples of the world who rightly exercise their independence, national self-determination and sovereignty which in turn go against U.S. imperialist domination.
The U.S. is embarking on a dangerous path replaying Operation Condor on a global basis. Its foreign policy seeks to overthrow democracies through regime change and replace them with puppet governments.
