Trump wants regime change in Venezuela - oppose US intervention & fight for a socialist alternative! | Socialist World Media
US imperialism, headed by Donald Trump, has launched a military build up in the Caribbean not seen for decades. The deployment of the USS Gerald R Ford strike group, including the largest US aircraft carrier, a nuclear submarine, and over 10,000 combat troops, is a clear warning that Trump and US imperialism mean business. Normally two US war ships are stationed in the Caribbean, now it is at least 10. Under the pretext of wanting to hit the narco-traffickers, over 20 boats have been bombed, killing over 80 occupants, even though most of the drugs smuggled into the US do not originate from or pass through Venezuela.Now an oil tanker has been seized by the US in an act of imperial piracy. Asked what he would do with the seized tanker, Trump replied, “I guess we will keep it”. Yet it is not just one tanker, apparently destined for Cuba, that the US empire has its eye on. It is access to the vast Venezuelan crude oil reserves, the largest in the world, that Trump and the oil barons who backed him want.
Venezuela has 303 billion barrels of crude oil in reserve, 20% of the world’s total. Furthermore, most US oil refineries are designed to process ‘heavy crude oil,’ which the US only gets from Venezuela, Canada, and Russia. Securing such supplies along with an estimated US$1 trillion gain for US business is in the offing if they can get their hands on it.
Apart from the naval build up, in preparation for further action the military base on Puerto Rico, closed following mass protests in 2004, has been re-opened. Thousands of US troops, amphibious landing craft, tanks, and war planes are being flown into the base.
Puerto Rico, the last remaining US colony that was seized in 1898, has historically been a crucial base and training ground for the US military. It was on the Puerto Rican island of Vieques, where thousands of the indigenous population were driven off and slaughtered, that Napalm, ‘agent orange ‘and other deadly weapons of mass murder were tested before they were used in the Vietnam war.
Militarily, Puerto Rico historically has been strategically important for US imperialism – lying close to Cuba and less than 100 km from Venezuela, the closed military bases have now been reopened to the consternation of many on the island.
Trump’s claim that his motive is targeting narco-traffickers. In the order of narcotics trade, Venezuela is a relatively small player. Regime change for the lucrative black gold, which is the mainstay of the economy of the petrostate of Venezuela, is one of Trump’s real objectives. Geo-political factors are also a factor in Trump’s objective of regime change. He is also warning rival powers, China and Russia, not to challenge US influence in the Americas. Putin is supporting Maduro, and both regimes have trade relations, including oil.
US imperialism has long wanted the overthrow of the Venezuelan government, since the election of Hugo Chavez, in 1998. An attempted military coup to oust Chavez, a radical left populist in 2002, backfired as millions poured onto the streets defeating the coup and restoring Chavez to the Presidency. The mass social explosion which followed drove the radical, well intentioned, Chavez, even further to the left, undertaking partial nationalisations, speaking of “socialism in the 21st century” and, using revenue from oil, introduced sweeping social reforms.
In election after election, Chavez won sweeping victories. A revolutionary movement developed. Popular though Chavez’s reforms and his regime were, as the CWI analysed at the time (Socialism Today – Venezuela at the crossroads; Venezuela: Revolution and counter-revolution – Socialist Party; Socialism Today – Venezuela: the revolution in danger; Venezuela: A New Phase In The Revolution – Socialist Party) the government’s often top down bureaucratic methods, corruption, the absence of democratic workers’ control and management and, fundamentally, a failure to definitively break with capitalism, resulted in the revolution reaching an impasse. The fall in global oil prices had a devastating effect, resulting in stagnation and then economic decline. Chavez died in 2013 and was replaced by Nikolas Maduro.
With the revolutionary process in retreat, US imperialism imposed crippling sanctions, including under President Obama; an economic blockade, that was tightened under Trump 1 and 2, with the objective of strangling the economy and forcing regime change. At the same time, Maduro did not continue the radical steps of Chavez which encroached upon capitalism but moved in the other direction.
Of the 303 billion barrels of oil reserves, Venezuela has only managed to sell four billion barrels due to international sanctions. Venezuela has 161 tons of gold reserves – much of it locked away in the Bank of England as the country’s assets have been frozen by imperialist powers. Shortages due to lack of imports have a devastating effect. These have compounded the crisis which existed due to mismanagement, corruption, lack of investment, and other factors. Venezuela is not only rich in oil. It has 80% of the natural gas reserves in Latin America but only accounts for 18% of that used largely due to lack of infrastructure and corruption.
Hyperinflation and shortages have all resulted in a devastating social collapse. Between 2014 and 2021, the GDP plummeted by 75%. The devastating social situation led to a dramatic fall in support of the regime. Since 2013 over 8 million (out of an estimated population of 28 million) people have fled the country, in one of the largest global refugee and immigrant crises.
Such an impasse in the situation has resulted in big opposition to Maduro’s regime which is more corrupt and authoritarian than which existed under Chavez. The regime has also acted against leftist critics who do not support US imperialism. According to some reports, Maduro has had US$700 million worth of assets seized in the US. However, revulsion of the rich, right wing opposition, and the legacy of the revolutionary process (though it ended in stagnation and decline), means Maduro still maintains a significant base of support. This is likely to be solidified and may be strengthened in response to the threats of Trump and fear of US intervention.
Right-wing opposition in Venezuela
The right-wing opposition in Venezuela, a vicious Thatcherite ruling class, if it comes to power will be ruthless in seeking revenge and enacting repressive anti-working class measures. It offers no solution for the working class and poor. The right wing opposition has a programme of collaboration with imperialism and to further enrich the Venezuelan rich and powerful ruling class.The stench of hypocrisy of western capitalism in awarding the Nobel peace prize to the leader of the opposition, Maria Corina Machado, has been smelt in Oslo and around the world. The same Machado urged a coup to overthrow the Maduro regime. The same Machado refuses to condemn US bombing of boats in the Caribbean or condemn Trump for his racist attacks on Latinos in the US, including the deporting of Venezuelans to prisons in El Salvador.
Trump clearly is aiming at regime change. The amassing of a military force threatening Venezuela is going to arouse the strong anti-imperialist sentiment that exists throughout Latin America. It will have a massive polarizing effect. It is note-worthy that the right-wing Presidents of Argentina, Ecuador, Panama and Paraguay went to Oslo. Others, like Lula in Brazil or Boric in Chile, did not, reflecting the pressure against US imperialism which exists among the masses of region.
At this stage, US imperialism has not amassed sufficient forces for a full ground invasion, which is unlikely, although not entirely excluded. This would risk triggering a massive movement throughout Latin America and a war with echoes of Vietnam. Trump may also be hoping that amassing a military threat will be sufficient to provoke a split and revolt by a section of the military in Venezuela. This depends on the situation within the Venezuelan military, which is unclear. A land invasion would provoke a big reaction amongst Trump’s support base in the US, which generally opposes further US military interventions. However, bombings, drone attacks, assassinations, kidnappings – including Maduro – are not excluded, indeed more likely. US imperialism has undertaken such interventions in the past in Panama. It kidnapped the ‘strongman’ Noriega. And members of Saddam Hussein’s government in Iraq were kidnapped.
The CWI condemns and opposes all US imperialist intervention in Venezuela or elsewhere. There can be no support given to the reactionary right-wing opposition in Venezuela. It is the challenge facing the Venezuelan working class to find a road to fight imperialist aggression, oppose the capitalist right wing and establish a genuine democratic socialist government of the workers and poor. Such a workers’ government can offer a solution to the catastrophe affecting Venezuelan society, including an appeal to the masses throughout Latin America and the US for support and solidarity.

Not that I don't want to. But still.
“'F the Police' but who's stopping you from killing me?” ―
I do believe about 20% of police officers have good intentions and significantly more signed up with that attitude, not knowing that they protect the wealthy elite and crooked politicians more than they uphold democratic values and ethical standards in society.
Unfortunately, probably more of them consider such a career because of the authority it gives them. Therefore I prefer to say that "many cops are bastards"; granted, it doesn't have an equally nice ring to it.

If cops’ one job was the protection of others/life at all costs, I’d think they were cool.
Intentions vs actions.
All cops are bastards because it doesnt matter what their intentions are when their actions mean they prop up injustice, legal slavery, oppression of the right to protest, and corruption.
Cops enforce what their boss tells them to enforce, as is the way in extremely hierarchical organisations. Their intentions no longer matter, they do as they're told.
But then following your logic, any employee working in a company doing something bad is a bastard.
Don't blame the guys at the bottom of the ladder, blame the system.

This article is a fun read.
The system only works because millions of cogs step in line and allow the machinery of that system to work.
I have been part of a larger evil system. Because where I grew up that's what everyone did, you went into the industry propping up the local economy (oil and gas). As I grew older I learned of the evils of fossil fuels, about climate change, and no longer work in oil and gas. I have no intention of ever doing so again.
So you could quite rightfully call me a bastard. But I left and will never be returning, does that absolve me of the bastard title? I don't know. But while you're actively part of the machinery you're definitely a bastard. Especially if you're the part of the machinery that is systemically racist and assaults and restrains people on a daily basis.

To be fair, most languages end up using English words for stuff that's tech related. For example, I've been learning Italian and actually laughed out loud when I learned that the Italian word for coach (which seems to be used for both buses and trains) is "Pullman" it gets even more obvious when it's a computer-related technology
Probably next year I might try to learn a bit of German because I keep encountering Germans writing in German on various parts of the internet and it would be fun to join the club (plus I'd love to visit Germany sometime so that would remove one barrier for sure)
I've been living in Germany for 3 months and somehow it feels like I understand less every day.

Are you going to notice a decent performance improvement? Probably not unless your card or drivers are currently not working properly.
Will driver updates and configuration be a lot less of a hassle? Most likely yes!
Next week when i am back in town I gonna try the driver switch.
So far the idea was sell my, buy 6800 used so the upgrade would be around 50€
Sorry my friend I live in Europe :)
Otherwise we could talk about trading :D

It would very much depend on how much you are going to spend. Are you selling the old GPU and getting the "new" GPU second hand? Or are you just straight up buying a new GPU?
And what 6800 exactly are you thinking of?
The difference in performance will be minimal. And something like The Witcher 3 is a very old game, so it's not like you need the performance at all.
I would first dive into the exact issues and figure out if it's actually related to the drivers. Usually the issues with drivers are more with new games, not something old. Keep in mind Witcher 3 has always been a janky game, so a certain number of issues is expected. And this is doubly true when using mods.
Plan was to sell the old one and buy a second hand one, since my board is not the newest and I hoped for an easier solution than troubleshooting.
It seems that everybody tells me its not worth it and can lead to simliar issues? So I gonna try troubleshooting when i am back home and send some more details :)
6800 xt might match 3070's performance on Linux, but I would not consider it an "upgrade". I would recommend looking up more info on ProtonDB and posting specific questions (if you have not tried that already).
Yes, choosing an AMD gpu will give you other benefits as well, like system stability etc., but make sure your purchase decision is worth it.
If I am not wrong, you can sell you 3070 for about $150-200 and buy a used 6800xt for about $220.
One more thing you can try before buying anything... Try a different OS, like Bazzite or Nobara based on Fedora, or PopOS based on Debian. Different bases can alter performance. I had a laptop with 3060 and it always performed slightly worse on Arch and Debian based systems. For some reasons, the GPU didn't exceed 85 watts, even though the TDP was 100 watts. Only Fedora and it's derivates make my GPU work as intended. But this is a case for laptop GPUs.
Was also thinking about that.
But i am not really a friend of distro hopping (maybe its time to do a clonezilla backup the living room PC) :D
Also for me it was the question: troubleshooting or just being lazy and an and GPU? :D
Switching might not fix your issues, and might just be swapping for other issues.
Ive been running Nvidia with Linux for over 10 years and its improved significantly over that time. Around the time the 30xx series came out I was looking to upgrade from my 1080ti - I wanted to switch to AMD (because I heard the drivers are better) I got a 6900XT and had heaps of problems and even worse performance in some games than my 1080ti. I ended up returning it and got a 3070ti instead, and I had no problems and performance was great.
About a month ago I wanted to upgrade my 3070ti and give AMD another shot with a 9070XT - its been absolutely flawless this time around.
All this is to say there are no guarantees going AMD will solve your problems, but I would consider going an AMD 9070 series instead - particularly since their FSR Redstone thing only applies to the latest cards
I understand. The 3070ti is still a good card - I personally think you might be disappointed getting an equivalent AMD card because its no guarantee to solve your problems or improve performance.
Again this is all my personal opinion etc, weigh up your pros and cons. Prices can vary a lot in different regions. You might be able to snatch up a bargain.
I have had great luck with a 6600XT myself, but your mileage may vary. There seems to be a fair amount of variance in terms of which AMD cards have solid footing in Linux and which games they work well with. I haven't had any issues but I generally don't play visually demanding games.
Also, if you ever want to roll out your own local LLM, you're just going to have better performance with an Nvidia card, as ROCm just seems to not be quite up to snuff at speedy work.
I don't know AMD CPUs that well but could it be you are CPU bound?
I have the same gpu RTX 3070 with an i5 8600k and Im CPU bound, not by much though. Last time I played Witcher 3 it was running very good only in Novigrad it was stuttery due to the amount of characters
Its not worth switching GPU for this. 3070 should be plenty capable of running witcher3. Ive got a friend running a 3060 and she plays all kinds of games with very few driver issues.
We should troubleshoot your issue first and see if a new GPU is required.
witcher 3 was more an example. I play newer stuff. But my partner is paying witcher 3 and it lags, while I had to just tune down some settings in horizon remaster.
I am out of town for a week, then I will update my post with more infos, thanks for offering some help :)
I put dozens of hours into the Witcher 3 running it at 3880x1440 on a 2070 super.
So I did all this on the game of the year edition with a graphics patch/mod.
Cdpr released the remaster which, in my opinion, looks about the same. But it performed like total ass.
You can download and run the old version and throw on the graphics patches. I lost significant amounts of frames with the cdpr remaster vs base game with mod
I went from being annoyed with my 3080 to being extremely happy with my 7900xt. The driver issues no longer became an issue because AMD. One important detail is this was a new build which meant I also went from a 3700X to a 9800x3D.
Personally it's worth it ESPECIALLY since gpu prices have come down.
Price of a bot army revealed across hundreds of online platforms worldwide
A new analysis using twelve months of COTSI data, published in the journal Science, shows that verifying fake accounts for use in the US and UK is almost as cheap as in Russia, while Japan and Australia have high prices due to SIM costs and photo ID rules.The average price of SMS verification for an online platform during the year-long study period running to July 2025 was $4.93 in Japan and $3.24 in Australia, yet just a fraction of that in the US ($0.26), UK ($0.10) and Russia ($0.08).
The research also reveals that prices for fake accounts on Telegram and WhatsApp appear to spike in countries about to have national elections, suggesting a surge in demand due to “influence operations”.

As a type 1 diabetic, nothing pisses me off more than people who just throw out incredible nonsense.
Yes it fucking sucks when you don't have insurance, and oh boy have I been there. But even in the most uninsured state of existence, I think 18 grand for supplies is a bit suspect. Even running a pump, which is almost universally covered for supplies by provincially funded pump programs btw, even in provinces undergoing insane health care attacks like in Alberta (where I live), I'm not sure I could hit 18k a year. Even disregarding that coverage.
Note that I'm not the sole experience in a disease that's complex. So grain of salt. But even if I put in an infusion set every two days, ran CGM, uninsured insulin, basically run the most expensive path I can, I can't hit 18k doing the math. Most I could hit in extreme math is about 6k. Still ridiculous, don't get me wrong, and still a defeating expense in times of shrinking incomes, over egregious government spending and the government protecting the ultra rich who are hoarding wealth. But you don't fight a fight like this with overinflating figures. This isn't the US where a vial of insulin costs $600. So I don't know where these figures are coming from.

The big one for me is non destructive resizing of pasted objects. Photoshop puts the little drag handles on them allowing for resizing, the top middle one allows you to rotate, holding the shift key locks proportions etc, all right away after pasting.
On gimp you can open a menu and specify the height and width, or you can click shift + s, which kind of works like Photoshops but is somehow clunkier & destructive when shrinking.
I also really miss smart objects and the universal tool options menu (not sure what it's called but it lives on the top of the canvas on PS and gives you all the relevant options for whatever tool you are using. I'm sure gimp has an equivalent but out of the box I find it much more correct and confusing.

GIMP is a really sophisticated piece of software designed for maximum technical control and flexibility. If you can dedicate a few hours to learning it you can do basically anything, for free, forever. If you only need to do basic stuff it might be worth looking at something else like Tux Paint for example, which is faster to pick up. It also has sound effects and is great fun.

IMO Gimp will always get flak about the UI not matching Photoshop, rather than the other way around, for the simple reason that users are always switching in that direction. I haven't heard of anyone ditching GIMP for Photoshop.

Panning and zooming - a massive part of graphics UX - is miles better in GIMP for example and makes PS look primitive by comparison.

Unless Krita decides to go the full adobe route and try to do both (which I doubt will ever happen), a feature like setting a white point (or any feature that isn't solely useful for photography but not drawing) will ever be in it.
People making the comparison as though Gimp and Krita are both trying to do the same thing are utterly exhausting.

in reply to atomicbocks • • •Yeah, that's kind of a thing; the Adobe suite kind of doesn't have a raster drawing program, Photoshop gets used for that but Photoshop is meant to be a photo editor.
A "digital artist" or "digital painter" will want to use Krita, a "graphic artist" designing logos or signage is gonna want Inkscape, and people wanting to lie via photograph want GIMP.

in reply to atomicbocks • • •Well, I'll put it to you this way: If I hire a graphic artist to design a logo for my company, and they turn in a .png they drew in Photoshop, GIMP or Krita, they're fired. Because I'm going to have my logo on my website, printed on business cards, on key fobs, on the side of work trucks, and painted on the side of buildings. I need a four color variant, a black and white variant and an outline variant, and they all need to work when printed at any scale. Raster art can't do that. "Hey, can you plasma cut my company logo out of stainless?" "Send over the file." "...what the fuck is this?"
Hell just having it in .svg format rather than .ai format is gonna be a problem, because Adobe Illustrator is a proprietary industry standard. But I mean, the rest of society is dying, why shouldn't graphic arts also have the disease?

in reply to Captain Aggravated • • •Taking digital photos without editing them is like taking analog photos without developing them.
Whether you use those tools to lie, or to get closer to what your eyes saw is your choice.
But if you just use the unedited RAW image from the sensor, it won't look anywhere close to reality either.

in reply to ekZepp • • •Thank you. Works well. I'm much happier with the interface I used for over 30 years in Photoshop, it's helpful to have that emulated somewhat in GIMP.
I also tracked down how to set the scroll wheel to zoom without the need for the Ctrl key, which was another annoyance. I've tried before to discover this, but failed. Maybe I was looking at the official documentation, which could use some work. Anyway, here's how to get the scroll wheel to zoom without the Ctrl key:

Edit > Preferences > Input Devices > Input Controllers > Main Mouse Wheel
In this menu, double-click "Scroll Up", and select
view-zoom-in-accel. Then do the same to "Scroll Down" with the valueview-zoom-out-accel.TrackinDaKraken

in reply to FoundFootFootage78 • • •Kate, Geany and Micro are already pretty good.
I'd argue that they're even better than Notepad++. There's certainly no shortage of good text editors on Linux...
FoundFootFootage78
in reply to Helix 🧬 • • •Kate is too bloated to fill the role of Notepad. Kwrite is lighter but like Kate all the shortcuts are different from Notepad and the Gnome Text Editor. Took me three attempts to get the shortcuts right, first because I didn't save them correctly and second because I missed one of the way too many things you can configure.
Kate and Kwrite make the OOTB experience with KDE bad for new users from anywhere else.

in reply to FoundFootFootage78 • • •Keyboard shortcuts? I don't know any and use it effortlessly. Having session restore is a gift. If you don't want stuff open, close. However, if you are regularly going to edit multiple files, having them reopen is far superior. Multiple tabs is far better than multiple windows and much easier to work with a mouse, rather than hover over program and select other window which is slow.
If you prefer alternative good for you, but expecting a text editor to not support sessions in 2025 is bizarre. Do you consider DE's bloat too?

in reply to Cevilia (she/they/…) • • •You open it you're greeted with a list of options instead of a blank file ready to use. When you open it again you'll have 10 open tabs from previous sessions. On the left side you get multiple buttons with coding features ... and I think most KDE users aren't programmers. At the top there are dropdown menus with and most of the hundreds of options there are irrelevant to the non-programmer.
It's much better to leave these kinds of programming-centric features out of the default text editor. The programmers know how to install something better.
I'm not saying Kate shouldn't exist, nor that it shouldn't be installed by default. It just shouldn't be the default.
Cevilia (she/they/…)
in reply to FoundFootFootage78 • • •I think this may be a configuration issue. I suspect you may have Kate set up very differently from the way I have it.
When I open Kate, I'm greeted with a blank file, ready to use.
When I open it again... I'm greeted with a blank file, ready to use.
On the left side I have four icons that I largely ignore except for the top one which is handy if I have a lot of files open.
At the bottom is the status bar. I may be allowing my privilege to show a little here, but with a 1080p screen, I can afford to lose 50 or so pixels to that.
At the top there's New, Open, Save, Save As, Undo, and Redo.
I'm not saying your configuration of Kate is bad. I'm not even going to claim that my configuration is the default, because I've used it for over a year and a half now and I don't know what the default configuration looks like. What I am saying is that your experience and my experience do not align.

(I use affinity photo for my photo editing at the moment, so it's been awhile since I've been paying attention to gimp.)

in reply to myszka • • •It doesn't verify the authenticity of all the software that it downloads with cryptography.
Compared to something like apt, which will refuse to install something if it was maliciously altered, verified with pgp signatures.
It's pretty pathetic, but most of these new package managers are a security nightmare
moonpiedumplings
in reply to quick_snail • • •This is not true. Flatpaks from flathub are signed with a gpg key.
Now admittedly, they use a single release key for all their signing, which is much weaker than the traditional distro's model of having multiple package maintainers sign off on a release.
But the packages are signed.
Edit: snaps are signed in a similar way.

Of course, unless you mean packages via flatpak in general?
Hmmm, this is where my research leads me.

Going further, I found a relevant github issue where a user is encountering an issue where flatpak is refusing to install a package that is not signed, and the user is asking for a cli flag to bypass this block.
I don't really see how this is any different from apt refusing to install unsigned packages by default but allowing a command line flag (
--allow-unauthenticated) as an escape hatch.To be really pedantic, apt key signing is also optional, it's just that apt is configured to refuse to install unsigned packages by default. So therefor all major repos sign their packages with GPG keys. Flatpak appears to follow this exact same model.
When installing an unsigned local flatpak package, allow me to temporarily override the GPG signature errors with a commandline parameter

But people really would be better of, getting used to GIMP as it is, because it will cause problems later on, on updates and if the project discontinues and so forth.
