In the Bolivarian Republic “we are moving towards direct, real, participatory democracy, in which the organized people become the alpha and omega of the political, economic, social processes and subsequent decisions,” he wrote in Telegram.
He stressed that the “Obedient Power of the Revolution rests in the organization of the people in their territories and in the permanent and rooted exercise of democracy in daily life.”
Arreaza questioned the notion of democracy in the Western world which, he said, is nothing more than an institutional pantomime through a simulation of freedoms to guarantee the rule of capitalist corporations and their owners.
That corporate “democracy” has already been laid bare and lacks credibility and legitimacy, he said.
The former Venezuelan Foreign Minister pointed out that the missiles of global corporate capitalism “not only target our natural resources and the historical dispute for their control, but seek to prevent Venezuelan democracy (the commune, the People’s Power) from fully arising, channeling and imposing itself.”
We seek to build democracy, from which they have been rejecting for centuries, he said.
