El presente artículo, constituye un humilde intento de aportar a un balance crítico del proceso de cambio en Venezuela y su situación política actual. No pretende ser un documento exhaustivo y reconocemos que presenta limitaciones teóricas. Nuestro análisis parte de una mirada abiertamente militante, que echa raíces y se reconoce en el comunismo libertario. Gran parte de estas reflexiones, surgen a partir de una serie de entrevistas a militantes y organizaciones sociales y políticas venezolanas, las cuales fueron realizadas en Caracas y en el Estado de Lara, durante el mes de febrero de este año.

Our hearts ache for the victims of the homophobic hate crime that took place over the weekend in Orlando, Florida where a gunman attacked an LGBT+ club killing 50 and wounding over 50 more. Much has been asked by us and by other left queers about the LGBT+ community, whether it exists and if it exists why don’t we feel a part of it. Sadly it is at times like these that we become aware of its existence. When people are considered deviants and deserving of a murderous assault for their sexuality, a trait all of us in the community share, we cannot but come together in sadness and in mourning.

Face à cette situation, la réponse des travailleur-ses, des chômeurs-euses et de la jeunesse ne peut être que de massifier encore le mouvement lors des prochaines journées de mobilisation. Mais si le nombre de manifestant-e-s est un moyen de pression, seul il ne suffira pas à faire reculer le gouvernement. Aujourd'hui, comme en 2010, ce qui fait réagir les gouvernants, c'est l'instauration d'un rapport de force, c'est quand on s'attaque aux porte-feuilles et qu'il y a un risque sérieux de blocage de l'économie. Ceci ne peut se faire qu'en multipliant des grèves qui se maintiennent dans le temps, partout où cela est possible.
