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.
The Venezuelans were joined by 400 trade unionists, solidarity and social movement activists and journalists from around the world who had come together to share experiences and strengthen anti-imperialist co-operation.
