As we go into the second half of 2026 we find ourselves up against an increasingly unstable and dangerous Empire that relies on its corporate media to disorient us, demobilize us and keep us off guard. We have to expose and defeat all that in the most vigorous way.
As you know over the past 6 months Resumen Latinoamericano has extensively covered the dramatic developments in our hemisphere from the assault and kidnapping of President Maduro and Cilia on January 3 to the military threats and economic strangulation of Cuba. We have our correspondents in Havana sending us daily news and analysis explaining both the hardships and resistance of the Cuban people as they rally to support their government. Our correspondent in Caracas also continues to provide insight on the ground to the complex situation unfolding there.
More people are turning to us to get a clear read on what is happening primarily from those voices writing directly from the Global South without being filtered through the imperialist lens.
To keep this all going we need your help; it is the only way for us to maintain and expand.
In appreciation and solidarity,

Ramiro Valdés y Fidel Castro.

Tenía 94 años. El Partido Comunista de Cuba y el Gobierno cubano anunciaron su fallecimiento.

The announcement of Cuba’s new package of economic transformations has generated intense debate both within Cuba and among supporters of the Revolution internationally. Some have expressed concern that aspects of the reforms represent a retreat toward capitalism, a weakening of socialist principles, or even a concession to the relentless pressure of U.S. imperialism. Such concerns should not be dismissed. They arise from a genuine commitment to the principles that have defined the Cuban Revolution and an understandable apprehension about the dangers that accompany any expansion of market mechanisms.

Testimonies of solidarity with Nicaragua’s Sandinista Revolution from the US, Britain and Ireland
In memory of Chuck Kaufman and Kevin Zeese
Revolutionary struggles around the world have always inspired admiration and support among the popular movements of the Western capitalist countries. Authentic Western progressive opinion defends the ideals of equality among people, brotherhood among nations, non-aggression and self-determination of peoples. However. from the perspective of the anti-democratic Western ruling elites, revolutionary processes present a double threat. First of all, they challenge the powerful political and economic dominance over the majority world of Western corporate and financial élites. Secondly, successful revolutions offer models of a more just society that responds to the aspirations and needs of the majority and not to the petty interests of a small, greedy elite. (more…)

road blocks continue in Bolivia
One hundred blockades around Bolivia were mounted by the Indigenous —in a nation where they are the majority— demanding a return to the communal socialism practiced during the years of Evo Morales, 2006 to 2019. This week a state of siege or “state of exception” has cut that number to fifty. The president’s turn to violence lacks parliamentary approval and is hence illegal. (more…)
