🔈PODCAST | International Solidarity in the Belly of the Beast [EARLY ACCESS] What does meaningful international solidarity with Venezuela look like from inside the US empire? In Episode 45 of the Venezuelanalysis podcast, Ricardo Vaz speaks with Austin Cole of the Black Alliance for Peace and Michela Martinazzi of Brooklyn Against War and the International League of Peoples’ Struggle about organizing against imperialism from “the belly of the beast.” The conversation looks at escalating attacks abroad, repression at home, the challenges facing solidarity movements, and how to build broad coalitions without falling into the bipartisan trap.

🎙🔊 Episode 44 of the VA Podcast is live! Venezuela’s January 2026 hydrocarbons law reform marks a major shift in the country’s oil sector. It establishes a more flexible fiscal regime in the name of “international competitiveness,” while expanding the private sector role in extraction, operations, and dispute resolution mechanisms. The reform follows years of US sanctions on Venezuela’s oil industry and coincides with new US licenses allowing Western conglomerates to move into Venezuela’s energy sector. Join Blas Regnault, energy policy analyst and consultant focused on oil geopolitics, alongside Venezuelanalysis editors Ricardo Vaz and Lucas Koerner, as they break down the reform, its economic and political context, and what it means for control over strategic resources and national sovereignty.
