    The persecution of the (actual) communist party in Venezuela is a good example.

    They aren’t persecuted though. 4 months ago, the PCV(Partido Comunista de Venezuela) consolidated itself as the second largest political force at the national level and they are very active politically as mentioned in this article:

    For some years now, militants from all over the world have frequently received communiqués signed “Communist Party of Venezuela” denouncing “the neoliberal regime of Maduro, which persecutes communists, represses workers, crushes wages and sows terror among the working classes as fascism does”. Out of automatic solidarity, often in good faith, they relay these messages without suspecting the true nature of their author, nor understanding the disinformation in which they participate. In reality, the real Communist Party of Venezuela not only actively supports the Bolivarian revolution and groups the vast majority of its militants but has just obtained a historic result in the legislative elections of May 2025.

    Also, this “persecution” was actually against active fascist collaborators as previously posted here:

    • ¿Remember the right wing faction of PCV with the shit take? Well, their candidate was working with the FBI

    To make this idea clear, it is like if a Brazilian communist party supported a fascist candidate like Bolsonaro(in their case Maria Corina Machado) and actively rallied for guarimbas while joining hands with the fascists funded by the USA. COINTELPRO lives on in Latam and that one is a clear example of it judging by how many comrades fell into this “persecution” lie.

      I meant the actual communists, which were ousted from their own party and lost all official and electoral control after a plot supported by PSUV. Everything you see from a “PCV” since 2023 is from a fake Trotskyite party leadership, which the PSUV helped create.

      We repudiate the public and malicious intention of Mr. Diosdado Cabello, vice president of the United Socialist Party of Venezuela (PSUV), to promote and execute the plan aimed at assaulting the PCV and usurping its symbols and legal-electoral figurehead, through the unacceptable maneuvering of using individuals who are not part of the PCV in order to present them as supposed “party rank and file”. We strongly reject this vile maneuver, as well as the systematic attacks of this leader of the PSUV in which he repeatedly accuses the PCV of serving the interests of U.S. imperialism, with the clear objective of criminalizing the struggles of the communists in Venezuela.

      I hope prolewiki and solidnet aren’t also victims of COINTELPRO. Also COINTELPRO was focused only on US movements and didn’t extend to LATAM. Critical support to the PSUV.

        You have it backwards, Conselheiro. They weren’t ousted but lost popular support from their members due to their counter revolutionary tendencies from the leadership. The problem with most of your sources is that it cites the same people that has Enrique Márquez and the leader Oscar Figuera(trotskist). This is literally like Andrew Zenz bullshit from China but repackaged with marxist jargon. Comrades need to be careful with this. Otherwise, they will parrot counter revolutionary propaganda dressed in marxist words.

        As evidence of the loss of popular support, that “couped” PCV that you are referencing was supporting an opposition candidate called Enrique Márquez(source -> https://www.instagram.com/p/C9GYJKApO1Z/) who got the following results:

        This is just another evidence that this PCV lead by Oscar are fascist collaborators. Maria Corina Machado even celebrated them:

        I hope prolewiki and solidnet aren’t also victims of COINTELPRO. Also COINTELPRO was focused only on US movements and didn’t extend to LATAM. Critical support to the PSUV.

        I can’t blame them though and the same tactic from COINTELPRO have been used in plenty of other places and not just the US. It is a fantasy to believe otherwise when we are suffering a lot due to the lack of solidarity due to plenty of purist tendencies within marxists circles that are quick to denounce their comrades. Also, Camarada Forte is part of prolewiki and even he denounced this reactionary PCV in this post -> https://lemmygrad.ml/post/5244648

        • PCV is basically voicing reaction, to the point they even use liberal wording about “democratic rights” in a bourgeois state

        The actual communist and not the ones that you reference are actively out there organizing against the real enemy US imperialism:
