Latin America and the Paradoxes of Anti-Imperialism and Class Struggle
09.03.2014 :: Latin America
The complexities of the new political relations in Latin America require that we breakdown what previously was the unified components of anti-imperialist politics.
For example in the past, anti-imperialist regimes pursued policies which opposed US military aggression and intervention in Latin America and throughout the third world; opposed foreign investment especially in extractive sectors; and, not infrequently, expropriated or nationalized strategic sectors; opposed joint military exercises and training missions; supported nationalist liberation movements and extended political material support; diversified trade and investment to other economic regions and countries; developed regional political organizations which opposed imperialism and formed regional economic organizations which excluded the US.
