Thursday, 13 April 2006
Exactly four years ago, on April 13, 2002, an impressive movement of
literally millions of downtrodden people from the poor neighbourhoods,
from the peasant villages, from the factories defeated the short-lived
right wing coup d'état against Chavez.
The left-wing president was put back in power thanks to this heroic
movement. This was a unique event of historic proportions.
There was no historical precedent where such a well planned and
orchestrated reactionary coup had been overthrown within 48 hours by the
spontaneous upsurge of the masses.
Today is the anniversary of that fateful day when the Venezuelan masses
stopped reaction in its tracks.
That is why the Arab supporters of the Hands Off Venezuela campaign have
chosen this day to launch a new Arabic language website (see
http://arabic.handsoffvenezuela.org
<http://arabic.handsoffvenezuela.org/>) dedicated to solidarity with the
revolutionary process in Venezuela.
The growing interest among left-wing youth and workers in the Arab world
is not an accident.
Chavez's anti-imperialist stance, his attacks against Bush have had an
impact in the Arab world, for they are such a contrast compared to the
obsequious submission of the Middle Eastern oil sheiks to Uncle Sam!
What a difference it makes to use the oil revenues to finance the
eradication of illiteracy, to establish free education, healthcare for
all and other social needs of the vast majority! What a difference with
the Arab dictatorships who oppress the masses!
President Chavez knows that the only way forward is in the growing rank
and file organisations and the rise of the anti-imperialist and
socialist consciousness of the masses!
The interest and the support for Chavez and the Bolivarian Revolution
are not limited to the anti-imperialist course Venezuela is leading in
Latin America.
The revolutionary process, the struggle of the workers and the peasants,
the factory occupations, the debate about workers' control and
especially the debate on socialism is inspiring many of the left-wing
youth in the Arab world. The proof of this is to be found in the
left-wing discussion forums on the internet
<http://www.yasaree.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=4333> where this
question is discussed.
With this new website we aim to become a focal point for those youth and
workers who are looking for an understanding of the revolutionary
process taking place in Venezuela and throughout Latin America.
This understanding is the basis for organising solidarity activity in
the Arab world. Different left groups or parties in the Arab world have
already shown their interest in this campaign.
By launching this new website we not only hope to help our sisters and
brothers in Venezuela but also to accelerate the emergence of a similar
mass revolutionary movements in the Arab world.
