ESPAÑOL Las elecciones en Venezuela. ¡Derrotemos la contrarrevolución y luchemos por el socialismo! By Alan Woods El 26 de septiembre el pueblo de Venezuela elegirá una nueva Asamblea Nacional. La oligarquía reaccionaria, apoyada por el imperialismo, se aprovecha de las carencias de la revolución para fortalecer su posición y prepararse para la contrarrevolución. La revolución venezolana ha recorrido un largo camino, pero las palancas claves de la economía aún están en manos de la oligarquía. Lo que hace falta es llevar a cabo plenamente la revolución socialista y expropiar a los capitalistas y terratenientes. Esa es la única manera de hacer irreversible la revolución.  OTHER LANGUAGES المؤتمر العالمي للتيار الماركسي الأممي 2010، خطوة عظيمة إلى الأمام By موقع الدفاع عن الماركسية شكل مؤتمر 2010 العالمي للتيار الماركسي الأممي، الذي انعقد في البلدة الساحلية التابعة لتوسكانيا، مارينا دي ماسا، في إيطاليا، ما بين 01 و08 غشت، خطوة عظيمة إلى الأمام بالنسبة للأممية.
