T= he neoliberal policies of many governments, bent on placing the market abov= e human lives, make it impossible to predict the moment when a definitive c= ontrol of the disease will be possible. The spread of the virus is a fact, = if we consider that the first million cases were confirmed over 96 days, bu= t the latest million were counted within only 16.=20 =20 The fraternal collaboration of the Bolivarian Revolution of Venezuela, the= Sandinista Revolution in Nicaragua and the Cuban Revolution, three revolut= ions with governments fully dedicated to saving lives and providing well-be= ing to their respective peoples; three revolutions that, facing the brutal = onslaught of the empire and its allies in the neoliberal right on the conti= nent, have, with integration and firmness, defended themselves and preserve= d, under very difficult conditions, the independence, sovereignty and digni= ty of the homeland of Bolivar and Chavez, of Sandino and Carlos Fonseca, of= Marti and Fidel.=20 =20 History is made by the people, even if it is written by others.=20 =20 For the life and independence of our peoples; for the legacy of our founde= rs, who taught us that even in the most difficult conditions it was always = possible, it is always possible and will always be possible; for the new ge= nerations giving continuity to the struggle, as Maduro explained; for anti-= imperialist unity that is the tactic and strategy of victory: We will fight= , we will live and we will triumph!=20 =20 Pasqualina Curcio on Venezuela Economic Situation and Class Relations=20 =20 1. Orinoco Tribune (Pasqualina Curcio):Imperialism=E2=80=99s Economic War = Costs Venezuela Nearly $200 Billion Focusing on the economic dimension we h= ave updated the calculations that we made in March 2019. At that point, los= ses caused by this war amounted to $125 billion; we have now calculated tho= se for all of 2019, which total $68 billion. Therefore, the total economic = losses between 2016 and 2019 are $194 billion. That is equivalent to approx= imately 16 months of national production. With that money, we could have pa= id the entire external debt of $110 billion. Or we would have enough resour= ces to import food and medicine for 45 years. These losses break down thus:= $25 billion corresponds to money and assets that have been looted from us,= while the other $169 billion represents what we have stopped producing fro= m 2016 to 2019 as a result of the attack against state-owned oil and natura= l gas company PDVSA ($64 billion) and the attack on the bolivar ($105 billi= on).=20 =20 2. Orinoco Tribune (Pasqualina Curcio): The Economy: Numbers Impossible to= Manipulate=C2=A0=20 =20 In 2014 the Venezuelan economy pie chart was large and was distributed as = follows: 7 pieces went to the bourgeoisie, 7 to the salaried employees and = 2 to the State, totaling 16 pieces. For 2017, it was 2 thirds the size of 2= 014, the economy fell 34% between 2014 and 2017. The bourgeoisie got 10 pie= ces instead of 7, the employees 5 instead of 7 and the State 1 and not 2. t= his uneven distribution of the cake has been worsening since 2018 due to th= e fact that from 2017 to June 2020 prices increased 716,308% as a consequen= ce of the attack on the bolivar, while nominal wages increased by only 20,1= 02%, and the purchasing power of public and private workers, plus the publi= c, plummeted 97%.=20 =20 Is it to go against the reason and the rule of the revolutionaries to prop= ose that this cake be distributed more equally; that the bourgeoisie not co= ntinue to take more than half the cake; that it return what it alienated to= the workers in the social process of work; that wages be adjusted in the s= ame proportion and speed of prices until they reach decent levels?=20 =20 3. Orinoco Tribune (Pasqualina Curcio): Salaries in Venezuela: Private Sec= tor vs. Public Sector (II) All of us who work in public administration have= also seen our salary drop by 97% since August 2018 as a consequence of ind= uced hyperinflation. We are 3,555,155 people in addition to the 4,988,882 g= randmothers and grandfathers who receive their pension and / or retirement.= We are a lot of people.In 2013 from all the economy=E2=80=99s production 4= 0% went to the accounts of the capitalist and in 2017 this percentage incre= ased to 50%, that is, the bourgeoisie, by way of profit, is appropriating a= t least half of national production, to the detriment of wages that went fr= om 32% to 18% of GDP during the same period. In revolution and under siege = by imperialism (excuse the redundancy) it is not the working class that mus= t tighten its belt while the bourgeois loosens it more and more.=20 =20 PeoplesDispatch (Vijah Prashad):=E2=80=98We will coup whoever we want.
