Back on the pod is our Senior Venezuelan Correspondent Elias, joining us from Caracas! Active in the Hands Off Venezuela campaign as well as the Marxist left opposition within the PSUV he brings us up to speed on the ongoing political & economic crisis facing the country & ongoing attempt by imperialist forces to oust Maduro as president.

We discuss the changing political landscape within South America, the context of the imperialist coup attempt, the recent elections that were held, the state of the economy & the evolution of the Maduro government from revolutionary left to bureaucratic administrators of the crisis.

We’re also happy to announce a new partnership with Ricochet Media! We’ve got a new home with them on their kick ass podcast network. Check it out!
