Venezuelan Diplomat Plots Anti-Trump Strategies with Communists in Chicago

Joining in the anti-Trump hatefest unfolding across the US was the notorious Act Now To Stop War and End Racism (popularly known as ANSWER), which held a rally in Chicago to discuss how best to “resist” the incoming administration. This would have been obnoxious on its own, but the group upped the ante by not just having a communist speak at their rally, but a Venezuelan diplomat as well:

“Since holding those rallies, the group has announced “mass marches” on Inauguration Day in Washington and another one in Chicago on Saturday; the group hopes to “shut the streets down” at both rallies.

On Nov. 15, the group held a meeting to plot its next move in its ongoing resistance of the Trump in a space normally operated by the Mexican Solidarity Network, a less well-known group in the mold of La Raza.

CHICAGO ANSWER organizers, Stephanie and Mika, co-chaired the evening and Mika said he was also an organizer with the Party for Socialist and Liberation, a radical Marxist group and a frequent partner of ANSWER.

Mika fired up the crowd.

“What do want?” he yelled at the crowd.

“Justice,” the crowd roared back.

“When do we want it,” he screamed again.

“Now,” the crowd roared even louder.

“People can and must be organized in a deepening resistance,” Stephanie said. “As united as possible, as militant as possible.”

She also said she was willing to “work with anyone to resist this administration.”

Stephanie said Hillary Clinton used “sexist fear” to get elected but was still “fighting the right wing by any means necessary.

Jesús Rodríguez-Espinoza is the Counsel General for the Venezuelan consulate in Chicago and while the rest of the speakers accused Trump of the normal litany of grievances — that he’s a racist, homophobe, misogynist and charlatan — Rodriguez said his diplomatic position forbade him from weighing in on Trump.”
