Hands Off Venezuela! Down with the war!
NNJ DSA condemns US imperialist aggression against Venezuela.
In the midst of a cost-of-living crisis and a deeply unpopular presidency, the Trump administration has decided, against the will of the majority of Americans, to launch a military assault on Venezuela. It could not be clearer why Trump and his friends want war: to plunder Venezuela’s natural resources, rob it of its sovereignty, chase US geopolitical rivals out of the region, and further tighten the blockade on the Cuban Revolution by eliminating a crucial trade partner.
We affirm that the real enemy is at home. This is the position of class-conscious workers when confronted with a reactionary war. Capitalism and geopolitical competition fostered by imperialism continuously produce the slaughter of millions. Only socialism, with the smashing of all forms of oppression and exploitation, can save humanity from the destruction and terror of war.
We demand the immediate and complete cessation of all hostilities against Venezuela, including all sanctions. We stand against all aggression on the people of Venezuela and support their self-determination against American imperialism.
Down with the war! Yankee hands off Venezuela!
