Venezuela needs to finish the revolution, and soon…how about our DMNC? a solution tailormade for the Bolivarian impasse
We have suggested a dozen times ways for Venezuela to proceed but the problem is the failure of the left to have ever produced a real path to real socialism/communism. The left has no path to soci…
Washington’s “Democracy Promotion” Fails Spectacularly in Venezuela
We have commented on Venezuela many times here, with the criticism that it is a democracy, of sorts, that should become a democratic market socialism after the model of our DMNC. In any case, the stance of the US is almost pathetic and after so many fascist interventions in South American states the idea the US can preach democracy to anyone is ridiculous.

Regardless of US efforts to overthrow the government and cause the populace to turn against their elected officials in the face of punishing sanctions, President Maduro has endured and resisted. Even the follow-the-flag Washington Post must acknowledge that “a recent poll from Andrés Bello Catholic University and pollster Delphos indicated that more respondents would vote for Maduro than Guaidó.” Of course, no one ever voted for Guaidó in the first place because the US-anointed “interim president” had never run for national office.

Heroic Venezuela
Venezuela heroically faced a brutal empire in the XIX century and is heroically defying yet another in the XXI century. Its past triumph fuels its courage

As noted in previous post we have dozens of posts on Venezuela and our model for a neo-communism.

We have suggested a dozen times ways for Venezuela to proceed but the problem is the failure of the left to have ever produced a real path to real socialism/communism. The left has no path to socialism and Venezuela reflects that in the way it idles at the threshold, unable to move. As it follows the Marxist/Leninist path its failure ceertain. The Bolivarian result, as with Sanders talking about ‘socialism’, is a blindness to the task at hand: constructing a viable postcapitalism. After all the talk about socialism, the Bolivarian revolution was not revolutionary. The fault lies with the Marxist package which is misleading. But there is a way to break the deadlock here. We can point to a simple exit strategy: something on the order of our ‘democratic market neo-communism’, beginning with the expropriation of the large-scale capital system. From there Venezuela is ideally poised to move to a real neo-communism. But the longer it waits the more confused the situation. It might help to simply forget oil, or at least use it temporarily as a transitional resource. Goodbye to it. Instead create a simple set of structures to feed and support the population, begin to rapidly expropriate the outstanding bourgeoisie, start to create something like our suggested system which involves planning and socialist markets, and start to balance the economy with diversification. This way the issue of sanctions can be rendered irrelevant. Needless to say, the working class factions here could lead the way, but this kind of model can be a multiclass operation, as long as a real postcapitlism is envisioned… This is merely a new focus: I am in no real position to presume advice, only a new framework beyond the sterile Marxist thinking.
Venezuela/Maduro (text via marxmail) and our DMNC model: the failure of Marxism? Marxists are incompetent…
We have commented many times on the way that Venezuela, confronting socialism via Marxist thinking, is seemingly stalled on the threshold of that outcome. This is more a critique of Marxists/Marxism than of Venezuela. But the Marxist package is consistently misleading to anyone with an opportunity to construct a socialist framework.
We have suggested many times that a more viable approach to socialism is possible via our DMNC model which could so easily jumpstart a new kind of economy that is socialist, and in the process proceed to a democratic neo-communism with socialist markets. The DNMC model is almost tailormade for this kind of situation stuck between capitalism and (neo-) communism. Here is a link to find the posts at this blog…:

Marxists are incompetent and in the over twenty years since the period of Chavez Venezuela has been stuck in the wrong definitions of Marxists who have never, not once, been able to offer any real help;
