Why the U.S. Government Hates Venezuela

~

U.S. corporations have felt their power slipping in the hemisphere for years, much of it due to the influence of Venezuela.

This is because social movements in Venezuela have advanced further than anywhere else in the world.

Factories have been taken over and run by workers, community councils make local decisions democratically, land is being taken over by peasants, independent media is spreading, and the property of U.S. corporations has been taken over to be used for the needs of the average Venezuelan.

Although the vast majority of these gains are due to the work of grassroots Venezuelans, the government has not only given approval to such actions, but often is responsible for suggesting the ideas.

Venezuela’s example has dramatically changed the political landscape in Latin America, inspiring millions.

For the first time, governments and social movements alike feel empowered to oppose U.S. corporate dominance and instead are seeking to arrange their economies in ways that benefit the majority of people.
