https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lago_Agrio_oil_field>From 1965 to 1993, Texaco participated in a consortium to develop the Lago Agrio oil field in Ecuador. The company was accused of extensive environmental damage from these operations, and faces legal claims from both private plaintiffs and from the government of Ecuador.
>In 1993, local residents started a class action lawsuit, Aguinda v. Texaco, Inc. to force former well operator Texaco (acquired by Chevron Corporation in 2001) to clean up the area and provide for the care of the 30,000 inhabitants affected by oil contamination. In February 2011, an Ecuadorian court ordered Chevron to pay $8 billion in compensation. The verdict was later confirmed by the Ecuador Supreme Court in 2013, with the amount fixed to $9.5 billion. Despite having previously insisted to move the process from the New York Court to Ecuadorian tribunals and having accepted jurisdiction there, Chevron Corporation has refused to pay the judgement claiming that the decision was “illegitimate and inapplicable”
>Texaco allegedly decided to forgo their standard drilling practices in favor for a minor savings on the cost to produce a barrel of crude oil … Texaco allegedly dumped toxic wastewater directly into rivers and waste into unlined pits, and created pits that were fitted with overflow pipes to nearby waterways
>The plaintiffs of the class action lawsuit are 30,000 Ecuadorians living in the Amazonian rainforest who claim their ancestral homeland has been polluted by the oil industry.let's see what Maduro thinks of this bourgeois, western company
https://www.elnacional.com/2025/07/maduro-confirma-que-chevron-recibio-una-licencia-para-volver-a-operar-en-venezuela/>“Chevron tiene 102 años en Venezuela, y yo quiero que tenga 100 años más, y trabajar sin problema”<“Chevron has been in Venezuela for 102 years, and I want it to have another 100 years, and to work without problems.”
>“Todo inversionista estadounidense que quiera trabajar con gente seria, de palabra, sobre la base de legalidad, venga a Venezuela. Venezuela es el paraíso de las inversiones en petróleo, gas, petroquímica, hidrocarburos, etcétera”<“Any American investor who wants to work with serious, trustworthy people, based on legality, should come to Venezuela. Venezuela is a paradise for investments in oil, gas, petrochemicals, hydrocarbons, etc.” >>2640468why is lil pump present

>>2640726doesn't matter, everyone sees your game already as outlined here
>>2640325 >>2640772Leftcom anon has inadvertently convinced me Maduro “did nothing wrong”.
>>2640781This is so true. America is an unapologetic monster of a country. Most countries, even lib countries have normal relations with Cuba.
>>2640613nope, this is the glowie traitor that came out in support of the fascists (and subsequently lost all support including inside his own party, and got kicked). Ofc the glowies still hold the xitter account, but they dont represent shit anymore.

>They specifically blamed the Rosa Luxemburg Foundation and named TNI associate Edgardo Lander, Alexandra Martínez, and Emiliano Terán Mantovani. Lander, along with Francisco Javier Velasco and Santiago Arconada, is being accused of being responsible for “destabilisation actions against Venezuela”.>The persecution of left intellectuals and progressive organisations represents a critical test for the international left. The Venezuelan government continues to engage in widespread abuses against critics through politically motivated threats and widespread detentions, a year after the disputed presidential election. Yet, too many on the global left remain silent when the victims are fellow leftists rather than right-wing opposition figures. >The targeting of the Rosa Luxemburg Foundation demonstrates how the Maduro government weaponises anti-imperialist rhetoric to silence legitimate left criticism. President Maduro accused the foundation of financing “infiltrators” and claimed it represents efforts to attack his government “from within”. >As Lander argued in an interview published by Transnational Institute in 2024, “Maduro’s government is a right-wing government. Its economic policies are neoliberal. The living conditions of the working class have deteriorated extremely. The monthly minimum wage is barely three dollars”. While maintaining an anti-imperialist and leftist discourse, the Maduro government has implemented profoundly neoliberal economic policies: labour flexibilisation, de facto dollarisation, openness to transnational capital, and dismantling of social protection. The supposed economic recovery is based on the super-exploitation of the working class and the deepening of extractivist dependency.>They constitute central mechanisms of power’s self-reproduction. The private appropriation of public resources by the new Bolivariana bourgeoisie has consolidated a new dominant class that uses the state as an instrument of personal accumulation, betraying the social justice project that mobilised millions of Venezuelans when Hugo Chávez was leading the revolution.This is not socialism; it is merely authoritarianism with socialist branding. As the Venezuelan left organisation Comunes observes(external link), this government has “betrayed the people” and “shifts to the right and towards capital” while becoming “increasingly fearful of leftist and progressive positions that expose its betrayal”.
<The global left faces a crucial choice: continue enabling authoritarianism through uncritical “anti-imperialist” solidarity, or embrace principled support for genuine democratic socialism that protects dissent and criticism. >>2640792>The global left faces a crucial choice: continue enabling authoritarianism through uncritical “anti-imperialist” solidaritySorry Anon, but the first duty of any communist is to bring about the defeat of the bourgeoisie in their own country, which means opposing the imperialist ambitions of your own government first and more loudly than anything else. I don't approve of the PSUV's attacks on its left wing critics in the slightest, but I understand where our priorities lie when our governments attack it in order to steal its resources and inflict on them oppression and suffering that far exceeds anything the PSUV has ever done.
Disregarding the pseudo-leftcom's humiliation ritual, is regime change in Venezuela still happening or what?
>>2640726>Point a single post of mine where I am repeating NATO propagandaall the ones where you repeat the hidden swiss account lies, which is quite a lot of glowposting
>>2640792I eagerly await the perfect LeftCom socialism that has never existed.
Until then, whatever anti-imperialist forces that exist as a means to an end.
>>2640795Tbh I think nabbing Maduro was a consolation prize and face-saving measure. At most maybe it was intended to scare the PSUV into playing ball. However it's clear that they don't have the level of support inside Venezeula (at least among the people that matter like the military) to do an Operation Condor style coup. They also don't have the stomach for an invasion. This quick spooky black ops kidnapping is a way for them to look cool and claim victory despite not having actually toppled the government. If there was no institutional support for capitulation before (and we know there wasn't because of multiple failed coup attempts) then I see no reason why there would be now.
https://marxismo.mx/libertad-a-martha-lia-grajales-basta-de-represion-y-detenciones-arbitrarias/<Freedom for Martha Lía Grajales! Stop the repression and arbitrary arrests!>On Friday, August 8, following a solidarity event with the Committee of Mothers in Defense of the Truth, held in front of the UN headquarters in Caracas, human rights activist Martha Lía Grajales, a prominent member of the popular and leftist collective Surgentes, was arbitrarily detained by officers of the Bolivarian National Police. This occurred around 4:00 PM. Without any arrest warrant, these officers forced Martha Lía into a gray van with no license plates or identification.aporrea.org/ddhh/n408289.html
<The Public Prosecutor's Office has charged activist Martha Grajales with "incitement to hatred", "conspiracy with a foreign government" and "association">Martha Lias was charged with August 12, 2025 - The Venezuelan Public Prosecutor's Office reported this Monday that activist Martha Lía Grajales, detained since last Friday, was formally charged with the crimes of "incitement to hatred, conspiracy with a foreign government, and association."According to the Bolibourgeoisie, Martha Lias is a German agent conspiring against the regime

Today it is Martha, yesterday it was Alfredo and Aryenis, tomorrow it could be any left-wing activist who dares to organize and denounce the abuses of a government that, sadly, long ago turned its back on the people in order to desperately cling to power at the cost of hunger, mass migration, repression, and censorship of any form of popular struggle. >>2640795>tankiddie flag>dogshit postimagine my shock

>>2640817>reported for not being a leftcomOK lol
It's very simple mods, claiming that we should support a petty bourgeois, turd worldist, nationalist "anti-imperialist" regime because a real protelariat movement hasn't yet happened is no different from rightoids claiming that communism can't exist because >muh human nature
It is blatanlty denying the possibility of mass revolut and a worker's movement is possible.
>>2640821dogshit tankiddie reply award

btw, I am not labeling the government as "authoritarian", I am quoting the text from Daniel Chavez, I just did not put a meme arrow before the sentence
You retards would know this if you fucking

>>2640705>shitting socialist countries
>masturbaring to reactionary capitalist shitholes
Classic /leftypol/.
>socialist countries
That want to privatize state companies, that trade with swiss banks, that happily allow American companies to invest inside their borders, that arrest communists
No contradiction!
Why don't you reply to people instead of shitting out posts?
>>2640855follow your own advice, reply to this
>>2640705 >>2640836The communists of Venezuela had a split over supporting government in 2023. If the faction of the communist party want to aid imperialist forces they will get dealt with just like in Belarus or any adjacent place
>>2640850>shitting socialist countries?
>>2640873More like the national bourgeoise saw that as the perfect opportunity for the mass supression of communists and the governmentt is 100% in line with them, as they reap the same benefits as them. The government officials of venezuela are an aritocratic class that do not wish to let go of their class benefits.
cite a
single theorical text by Marx or Engels that states that, to fight imperialism, the suppression of the communist party and by default of it's eternal role as a critical entity is necessary.
why is so much of this thread a couple of people calling each other retards endlessly
>>2640892>why is so much of this thread a couple of people calling each other retards endlesslyleftypol.org
>>2640886>The government officials of venezuela are an aritocratic classThat's not what aristocracy is, unless you're claiming that Venezuelan government officials are a hereditary landowning elite with de jure privileged status.
>cite a single theorical text by Marx or Engels that states that, to fight imperialism, the suppression of the communist party and by default of it's eternal role as a critical entity is necessaryI think you're missing the point Anon. What do you hope to accomplish by adding your voice to the cacophony of bourgeois cretins calling for Venezuelan blood? Don't you understand the difference between abstract principles and immediate tasks? In principle yes, Venezuela is a national bourgeois state and its repression of communists is a bad thing. In practice, our most pressing obligation is to oppose Western aggression against them which aims to strengthen the rule of the bourgeoisie in the Imperial core and inflict even worse suffering on Venezuelan workers.
leftcoms more like rightcoms
>>2640898>unless you're claiming that Venezuelan government officials are a hereditary landowning elite with de jure privileged status.I am claiming that nepotism exists in Venezuela, yes.
>What do you hope to accomplish by adding your voice to the cacophony of bourgeois cretins calling for Venezuelan blood?That the government engage in left-wing reforms to stop the bourgeois calling for Venezuelean blood from permeating the country?
>In practice, our most pressing obligation is to oppose Western aggressionExplain to me how, pointing out the fauults of a left-wing government and asking for improvements regarding class relationhips, is advocating for Western aggression.
This is the problem, you people don't understand such a simple fucking concept
