The historic 9th International Anti-imperialist Conference, organized by the World Anti-imperialist Platform, was successfully held in Caracas, Venezuela, on October 21–22.
Formed in October 2022 in Paris through the united initiative of anti-imperialist and revolutionary parties and organizations, the World Anti-imperialist Platform upholds three main objectives: advancing the world anti-imperialist struggle, waging the ideological battle, and strengthening the international communist movement. Since its founding, the Platform has been fighting tirelessly to achieve these aims.
At a time when the US Trump administration’s imperialist aggression in Latin America is intensifying, the Caracas conference became a powerful arena of solidarity. Participants expressed firm support for the Venezuelan government and people, who are defending the communes (comunas) and standing at the forefront of the anti-imperialist and anti-fascist struggle against imperialist threats in the Caribbean. Delegates also held intense discussions on the tasks of joint struggle for the anti-imperialist forces under the conditions of the Third World War.
The two-day conference was organized under two main themes—“Comuna o Nada” and “Anti-Imperialism and Anti-Fascism.” Each session featured presentations, discussions, and the reading of resolutions corresponding to these themes.
On October 22, the final conclusions of the 9th International Anti-imperialist Conference—synthesizing the debates held under the two themes—were adopted and announced. The entire assembly rose to their feet in unanimous applause to endorse the conclusion.
As the historic Caracas Conference came to a close, all participants stood together and sang The Internationale, raising the resounding slogans: ¡Viva Venezuela!, ¡Viva Chávez!, ¡Viva Maduro!
The full text of the conference conclusion follows.
Conclusion
The following is the conclusion regarding the Venezuela issue, adopted at the International Anti-Imperialist Conference of the World Anti-Imperialist Platform, held in Caracas on October 22, 2025.
1. The World Anti-Imperialist Platform demands US imperialism to take its hands off Venezuela. US imperialism must immediately cease all acts of aggression, blockade, economic sanctions, and interference in Venezuela’s internal affairs. We firmly declare that all these criminal acts by US imperialism are violent breaches of the UN Charter and are unequivocally subject to international war crimes trials and criminal courts.
2. The World Anti-Imperialist Platform strongly condemns all military acts of aggression, “false-flag” operations, and attempts at “color revolution” carried out by US imperialism in its effort to overthrow the legitimate government of Venezuela—the workers’ and people’s government led by President Nicolás Maduro. We firmly believe that these foolish and clichéd reactionary attempts will be thoroughly crushed by the army, the communes, and the people united around President Maduro.
3. The World Anti-Imperialist Platform affirms that the approval of CIA operations by the imperialist Trump administration of the US constitutes an extremely dangerous act of war that must be immediately halted. We solemnly warn that any form of attack by US imperialism against the Maduro government, or any act of aggression against Venezuela, will become a decisive turning point that will intensify anti-US and anti-imperialist struggles not only across Latin America but throughout the world.
4. The World Anti-Imperialist Platform fully supports the Maduro government—an anti-imperialist, anti-fascist, workers’ and people’s government that continues the path of the Bolivarian Revolution. We once again proclaim before the world that the Maduro government—the direct successor to the Chávez government—is a legitimate government born of democratic and lawful elections, and a people’s government with the wholehearted support of the broad masses.
5. The World Anti-imperialist Platform solemnly vows to further deepen and expand international solidarity, in various dimensions, with the Maduro government, which is based on the spirit of the Bolivarian Revolution and struggles under the banner of anti-imperialism and anti-fascism. As the first concrete step, we will center the Platform’s Latin American activities on Caracas, Venezuela, working in close cooperation with the people’s government of President Maduro to organize anti-imperialist actions in practice. Any attack on the Maduro government by US imperialism is an attack on the World Anti-imperialist Platform itself.
6. The World Anti-imperialist Platform shares and upholds the spirit of “Comuna o Nada”—the testament of Commander Chávez—and pledges to firmly support the Venezuelan comunas, the Paris Communes of the 21st century, making every possible effort for their strengthening. We will actively cooperate at the international level to help realize the innovative projects of the comunas, which embody the creativity of the people.
The people united will never be defeated.
¡Comuna o Nada! ¡Viva Venezuela! ¡Victoria Siempre!
