Leftist Union Leaders Assassinated in Venezuela
06 Dec 2008
by
League for the Fourth International
On November 27, three leftist union leaders in the Venezuelan state
of Aragua – Richard Gallardo, Luis Hernández and
Carlos Requena – were gunned down by an assassin. The murder
came hours after the unionists had led a workers occupation of a
Colombian-owned milk plant which had been brutally broken up by
state police. All three were leaders of the UNT (National Workers
Union) and of the USI (Socialist Left Unity), a party which has
opposed attempts by the government of Hugo Chávez to impose
state control of labor, and has fought the rightist opposition
backed by imperialism. They may have been murdered by assassins
hired by the Colombian company, by elements connected to the police
of outgoing state governor, a former Chávez ally, or by
supporters of a current official of the governing United Socialist
Party. In any case, despite Chávez’ socialist
rhetoric, the reality of the bourgeois Bolivarian
“revolution” in Venezuela today is that leftist
unionists are murdered while the forces of capitalist state
repression back up the bosses. While many leftists have called on
the Chávez government to investigate, Trotskyists call for
organizing workers defense guards and imposing workers control of
production. Venezuela today is stuck at a crossroads. Building a
Bolshevik-type workers party based on Trotsky’s program of
permanent revolution is key.

by
Joseph Stiglitz
The mixture of low interests, excessive liquidity and lax oversight on money institutes led to the financial crisis. National indebtedness rose two-thirds in only eight years. The govt should immediately begin investing in the infrastructure, education and other projects.
