Two New Interviews

February 17, 2018Clifton RossNo Comments

Two interviews came out within a week of each other. They’re both long, but as one of the interviewers (Rupert Loydell of Stride Publications and International Times) said, they’re complementary. And they are, really, though they’re both very long. Veneco Candanga (link) interview was conducted by Juan Misle, and they’ve been kind enough to include both an…

2017: Venezuela in Fragments

December 25, 2017Clifton RossNo Comments

(Note: Dissident Island, a radio show based in London, just did a very nice editing job on an interview they did with me in October. It’s now online here. I hope you enjoy it. The following was posted at my PM Press blog).   2017 has been a rough year for Venezuela, one from which…

Notes from the London Anarchist Book Fair

October 28, 2017Clifton RossNo Comments

I had a discussion about Venezuela with a small group of a dozen or so people here at the London Anarchist Book Fair today where I was supposed to show our film but as we had the room for only an hour, we just talked about the situation in the country. I promised to upload…

The Venezuelan Kicker: No money left… to print money!

September 16, 2017Clifton RossNo Comments

Chatting with my friend Arturo a while back he mentioned that the bank ATMs were limiting people to 10,000 bolívares in withdrawals. This problem has multiple problems, as every problem in Venezuela does. So first, let’s look at that number. It seems like a lot, right? I remember back about ten years ago or so when…

FMLN: In the Footsteps of Bolivarian Venezuela

August 14, 2017Clifton RossNo Comments

I posted an article today at libcom.org on the undoing of the FMLN in El Salvador. I’m in Bogotá Colombia after spending two weeks in El Salvador at the World Poetry Festival of El Salvador: 100 Voices for Oscar Romero. We took a day out with Marisol to visit Oscar Romero’s home and the church where…

What’s Left of Venezuela? Joaquin Villalobos

July 31, 2017Clifton RossNo Comments

I posted a piece on the Constituent Assembly Elections today from where I am in El Salvador. Tomorrow I’ll be heading into the World Poetry Festival of El Salvador, dedicated to Oscar Romero so I’ll no doubt be occupied for that for the better part of a week. This piece that follows is a translation…

La lucha continua–into the third month

June 16, 2017Clifton RossNo Comments

We’re into the third month of the popular uprising in Venezuela and despite exhaustion on both sides (one can presume as much, and there are definite indications of it) this uprising isn’t going away.   The opposition, which makes up some 70-90% of the country, depending on which polls you look at and how you…

Happy May Day… 2017

May 2, 2017Clifton RossNo Comments

This is May Day in Venezuela. “Happy” May Day. It’s time to celebrate the Venezuelan people who will no longer tolerate a dictator. They have my support… Witness how they “welcome” the dictator’s military:

Chavista Grassroots Speak Out — Against Chavismo

April 5, 2017Clifton RossNo Comments

(Note: I’ve been away from my blog for a while for personal and creative reasons. In that time the Bolivarians have taken further steps toward an outright judicial dictatorship. They were forced to take one step back when the world reacted to the TSJ (Venezuelan Supreme Court) Ruling 156 in which the court “assumed functions” of…

Margarita López Maya, Caracas Chronicles and Vacation

February 20, 2017Clifton RossNo CommentsBolivarian, Bolivarian Revolution, Chavistas, Nicolas Maduro, Tareck El-Aissami, Venezuela

How’s that for a jumbled headline of non sequiturs? Or, at least apparent non sequiturs. Let me explain myself. First of all, Margarita López Maya is coming to the San Francisco Bay Area in early March to present at Stanford and also at the World Affairs Council in Santa Rosa. AND ALSO at the Niebyl-Proctor…
