Trump’s War on Immigrants is a Trojan Horse to Normalize Domestic Use of the Military
Opposition to domestic militarization must come from an understanding of the military’s role as a repressive institution of the state.

NEW: For a few weeks I've been working on a big analysis of how Trump is using war on immigrants to normalize domestic use of the military. I hate how timely this piece turned out to be.

The US attack on Venezuela opens a new period of imperialist encroachment in Latin America. The continent is seen by the Trump administration as a key battle ground against China, and it marks a retrenchment of US imperialism to its most direct zone of influence.

"The only path towards a truly independent Venezuela is to form a government of workers and poor people.. the only social force capable of liberating Venezuela is the working class and the poor, who can kick out imperialism and put all natural resources to work for the benefit of the vast majority."

The Current for Permanent Revolution – Fourth International (CPR-FI) categorically and vehemently condemns the military attack perpetrated by the United States against Venezuela. This is direct, deliberate, and criminal imperialist aggression against an oppressed country and constitutes a flagrant violation of Venezuelan sovereignty.
