Sixteen years since Chavez came to power, the Bolivarian revolution has still not been completed. A revolution cannot be carried out partially. Either it goes all the way in removing capitalism once and for all, or it goes backward and is possibly defeated. We publish here two articles from Jorge Martin and Alan Woods, which analyse what needs to be done to complete the Venezuelan Revolution.

Alan Woods, editor of In Defence of Marxism, explains the significance of the recent retreat by the SYRIZA government, highlights the intense contradictions that remain within the Eurozone, and analyses the way forward for workers and youth in Greece and across the whole of Europe in the fight to end austerity.

Two years have passed since the death of Hugo Chávez on 5th March 2013. His death was a great loss for the cause of freedom, socialism and humanity. To fight for socialism in Venezuela and throughout the world: that is the only way forward; the only way to honour the memory of Hugo Chávez.
