Charles's quotation from Roger Harris ends in an incomplete sentence. The complete paragraph is:
"In a seamless constitutional transition, Maduro’s vice president was sworn in as president. The Chavista movement united behind Acting President Delcy Rodríguez. Venezuela’s national recovery continues under a negotiated sovereignty<https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/0094582X261475987> where the US now bargains – with the ever-present threat<https://www.reuters.com/world/americas/trump-bets-intimidation-force-venezuelan-leaders-into-line-2026-01-04> of an even more lethal military action – over matters that should be the sole purview of Venezuelans."

This has the "solidarity" activists in a bind, because they are not in solidarity with the working people of Venezuela; they are publicists for Maduro and now Delcy Rodriguez. In the U.S., one Roger Harris is a prime example of a "solidarity" publicist. A week ago on CounterPunch he gave us this gem of contorted words: In a seamless constitutional transition, Maduro’s vice president was sworn in as president. The Chavista movement united behind Acting President Delcy Rodríguez. Venezuela’s national recovery [!] continues under a negotiated sovereignty... "Negotiated sovereignty" – what a melodious contradiction in terms. Sovereignty is the supreme power of a state. If it must be negotiated, it is not supreme. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.
