ATTENDING last week’s International Conference Against Imperialism in Caracas was rather like attending a Labour Party conference in Brighton, except with better weather and more socialism.
Another difference was that conference delegates from Venezuela were, in general, more working class and darker skinned, reflecting the social base of support for the revolution — a revolution which against all odds has survived economic destabilisation, a media war, sanctions, the death of Hugo Chavez, and two attempted coups.
