Francisco Dominguez: A Decade Continuing Chavez’ Socialist Anti-Imperialist Struggle A pamphlet by the leader of Venezuela Solidarity Campaign UK. This reviews the non-stop US overt and covert warfare, including murderous economic warfare, to overthrow the Venezuelan revolution. Dominguez points out that the Maduro and the Chavista movement have withstood everything the US threw at them and have turned the tables. Today the Maduro government is respected in the world as a victorious and major anti-imperialist force.
