<title>Has Venezuela Abandoned Socialism?</title>
<link>https://scotlandspeaks.com/has-venezuela-abandoned-socialism</link>
<guid>https://scotlandspeaks.com/has-venezuela-abandoned-socialism</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ I interviewed a prominent academic who is a profound critic of the Venezuelan government, and in contrast a strong academic supporter. The conversations were relaxed, open and I believe worthwhile. There is no serious dispute that the Venezuelan government shifted to some degree towards economic liberalism under President Maduro. The question is to what extent […]

<description><![CDATA[ I today met our legal team and instructed them to submit an application for interim relief in the Scottish judicial review of the proscription of Palestine Action. If successful this will immediately lift the proscription in Scotland, pending the review. Scores of people in Scotland face imminent conviction for terrorist offences simply for exercising free […]

<description><![CDATA[ A fascinating line from the BBC this evening: The number of parties who got MSPs elected at the last election is… five. (Though in fairness there are now six, Reform having a single MSP after Graham Simpson defected from the Tories. The Lib Dems are even outnumbered by independents, of whom there are seven.)

<description><![CDATA[ President Nicolas Maduro is a working class man, a bus driver who worked his way to office through the trade union movement. Compare that to the western “elite”. In Caracas I joined a rally of his fellow Metro workers, many of whom know him personally, demanding his release after kidnap by the US. I intend […]

<description><![CDATA[ The United States and Israel are both revelling in inflicting the maximum possible death and suffering on Iran. After the genocide in Gaza, on a far larger field in Iran, those in power in Israel and the USA have a lust to kill and they revel in impunity. The Epstein files reveal the same dynamic. […]

<description><![CDATA[ There has scarcely been an attempt to pretend any justification in international law for the attack on Iran and murder of its leader.  The response of the UK government, focusing almost entirely on condemning Iran for exercising its legitimate right of self defence, takes the Starmer dishonesty meter further off the scale. The RAF has […]

I am pretty long in the tooth and very experienced in understanding politics and people around the world, and I have found it difficult to locate either. I would particularly warn you against accepting the political prisoners […]

<description><![CDATA[ So on the one hand there’s obviously very little point paying attention to the SNP’s regional list candidates for May’s Holyrood election, because as this website has comprehensively demonstrated over recent months, the chances of the SNP having any list MSPs elected are remote. However, nothing is impossible, so let’s take a look at the […] ]]></description>

But for now here are a couple of small videos illustrating that it is a lie that the country is failed, starving or repressive. […]

<description><![CDATA[ On the face of it the English High Court ruling that the Palestine Action proscription is unlawful makes the decision that the proscription remains in place pending appeal utterly illogical. But what if the High Court ruling is deliberately designed to fail at appeal? I believe that it is. They chose an extremely narrow path […]

<description><![CDATA[ We’re really not sure this makes things any better with regard to the incredible tale that’s unfolded around the judgment in Sandie Peggie vs NHS Fife. In fact, on any interpretation we can think of, quite the reverse. But we’d better give you some context. The quote in the image above comes from the reply […] ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ Iraq. Libya. Egypt. Syria. Gaza. Somalia. No CIA and Mossad constructed regime change operation in the Middle East has ever made life better for the ordinary people of the country, nor even delivered the promised increase in personal and political freedoms. The only limited improvement that might be gained comes from the lifting of western […]

<description><![CDATA[ In the western world today fighting for freedom feels Quixotic, but I shall nevertheless wake early tomorrow to be at the Court of Session in Edinburgh by 9am to fight the proscription in Scotland of Palestine Action.
