CNN confirmed Tuesday that the Central Intelligence Agency conducted a drone strike on Venezuelan territory on December 24, corroborating a statement that US President Donald Trump first made last week. The attack is a criminal escalation of the undeclared war the United States is waging against Venezuela—a war of aggression that includes the imposition of an effective blockade and a series of killings on international waters off Venezuela’s coast that have left at least 107 people dead in 30 strikes since September. The Christmas Eve strike, which took place on a port facility, is the first aerial attack inside Venezuela since the US military buildup in the region began in August.
“This government has shown that it is not capable of reform,” said one Iranian demonstrator. “On the other side, there are Trump and Netanyahu, both of whom are war criminals.”
Maria Corina Machado, Knut Hamsun, and the Nobel Prize Maria Corina Machado recently congratulated President Donald Trump for kidnapping Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro in a military action that left around 100 people dead. In an interview with Fox News, she praised Trump, describing Washington’s actions as “a giant step for humanity, for freedom and human dignity.” (1) Maria Corina Machado also stated that she wants to share her Nobel Peace Prize with the US President. Maria Corina Machado is following in the footsteps of another Nobel Prize winner, ironically a Norwegian, Knut Hamsun, winner of the 1920 Nobel Prize […]
The president of Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro, made his first statements before a New York court after his kidnapping on January 3 by specialized U.S. military commandos in a military operation carried out on Venezuelan territory. The president declared himself a “prisoner of war.”
Recent events in Venezuela have dramatically escalated the stakes of anti-imperialist politics in a way that cannot be ignored. On January 3, 2026, the United States launched a large-scale military operation with the objective of kidnapping Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and his wife and transporting them back to the United States to face federal charges. This marks a decisive escalation in the forms of subversion and interventionist tactics that have characterized U.S. interventions in recent decades.
“As imperial forces strike at the heart of Venezuela, Vice-President Delcy Rodríguez’s words ring out: ‘We will never again be slaves, never again a colony of any empire’.” In her powerful address following the U.S. military’s unprecedented capture of President Nicolás Maduro, Rodríguez rejects foreign domination and calls for unity in defence of sovereignty, natural resources, and Bolivarian independence. This is not mere rhetoric — it is a bold anti-imperialist proclamation at a moment when global power politics collide with the aspirations of a people determined to chart their owndestiny.
The term “social ecology” is used to refer to the political philosophy advocated by Murray Bookchin. It will be argued below that this is unfortunate as it gives the term “ecology” a quite different meaning to that applied in the biological realm. The latter sense is extremely important in the social realm, but has not been focal in social theorising. Its significance becomes especially clear in the debate between socialist and anarchist perspectives on the degrowth alternative to capitalism and the strategy to achieve it.
