Distinguished Delegates

Respected Chair

Dear Comrades 

I would like to share my sincere thanks to the World Anti Imperialist Forum for extending invitation to us for attending such an important conference to share our perspective, learnings and struggle against the imperialism. 

I would like to extend thanks to the government and people of Venezuela for supporting to host this conference in this land of revolution that inspires the global crusaders of justice, peace, equality and common prosperity. 

Comrades,

It is a historic moment for us to observe the preparation of constitutional reform based on the light of Bolivarian revolution and the great guidance by the great leader Chavez through the Golpe de Timon. 

I would like to recall what Chavez has shared about Socialism and Democracy, “The Socialism is democracy and essence of democracy is socialism in politics, society and in economics”. This is very true, relevant and significant aspects of democracy debates and discourse in various context at domestic level and at international context as well. 

The very foundation of United Nations with the end of Second World War was to prevent wars, injustice and promote democratic international world order. But we have observed that the multilateral institutions have been exploited, neglected and weakened to promote war industries, perish people in developing and least developed countries, to alienate nations in global order and perform veto-based world hegemony. This is the real character of capitalist order which Chavez informed us that Capitalism is exclusionary and imposition of capital and capitalist elites. This is the fundamental cause for all the war and aggression, deepening poverty, political instability and illegal occupation that we are observing these days. 

Therefore, socialism at national and domestic level by strong socialist political force and socialism at international system by strong coalition and collaborations among socialist nations are primary demands of the current days. 

Comrades,

Our aspiration for just, equal sovereign, stable society and nations has been challenged, obstructed by the imperialism and imperialist forces since the history. Though the colonization era ended, practice of client states has become much stronger; though the world system, international law and multilateralism have become global norms, the practice of neo imperialism, digital imperialism has become much powerful these days. 

The imperialism is, not marching with guns and bombs, not just by commodities, but by the control over information, technologies, transport and connectivity, imposing barriers on trade and dividing people at their homeland. 

The information technologies, cyber space and social media platform have emerged as new weapons and ground to impose imperialism through political threats, mass manipulation of citizens and destabilization of the sovereign democratic nations.

In Nepal, after a long seven decades of people struggle, we adopted a republic, socialist, federal constitution by peoples’ represented constitution assembly in 2015. The constitution for the first time recognized the socialist orientation of the state, adopted devolution of governance system through three tier government structure (Federal, Province and Local) with list of rights listed in the constitution among the three layers and endorsed the principle of operation with norms of co-existence, coordination and cooperation. 

Nepal took a progressive effort with nationwide expansion of infrastructure development, industrialization and economic expansion and achieved 6 percent plus growth even during COVID time. The imperialist conspiracy against the party and nations ultimately cause the collapse of communist led government and split the largest communist party in 2021.  But again, with the hard work of leaders, cadres and the support of people the CPN UML took rise and become the first party on popular vote countering all the imperialist conspiracy and attacks in 2022. 

Again on the leadership of CPN UML, the political stability and efforts of progress was started in Nepal. The geopolitical value of Nepal in Asian context and the rise of its political, economic and social position worried the global capitalist exploiters and imperialists aggressors. A grand conspiracy to collapse the democratic system, socialist and federal constitution and peoples elected parliament was implemented on the name of Generation Z movement in 8 September 2025 followed by a nationwide vandalism with looting, firing and physical attacks on 9 September.  The conspiracy was brutal that killed 75 youths, fired public offices including central government administration historic building, president’s office, Supreme Court and parliament house. The leaders of CPN UML and it’s coalition partner Nepali congress were physically attacked, their properties and party offices were burnt down. Thousands of police arms and equipment were looted and thousands of criminals were escaped from the jail.  A puppet unconstitutional government was founded against the constitutional norms and supreme court verdict. The so-called interim government formed a biased inquiry commission and ordered police for not taking any actions against criminals who looted, fired public and private properties.  The whole devastations, conspiracy, provocations were carried out through social media and gaming app. Later on, it is identified that 34% of provoking social media accounts were fake that posted 100 thousand plus provoking messages that reached to 38 million users. 

The imperialists have problem with KP Oli, the CPN UML Leader, led government because it was adopting balanced foreign relations, built relations and close ties with China and Russia, banned unregistered social media and taking initiatives of larger projects that would led to a prosper life for the people of Nepal. 

Nepal is just an example how the digital imperialism with the global gig companies, social media business is promoting online fascism through creating and spreading negative narratives against progressive government, controlling and manipulating young minds, provoking vandalization and using young people as human shield on their so-called protest. 

Comrades

Therefore, our fight against imperialism and fascism has gone to a new space of digital ground. We need to better prepare and better counter this threats that is widely spreading targeting progressive and socialist nations.  

The five pillars of productive transformation, as suggested by Chavez, is important to consider on this fight. Without being strong nations, addressing peoples concern, disparities and poverty at our home we would not be able to counter imperialism at international level. The promotion of decentralization at our own model in each country with adequate and proper political orientation is essential for such transformation and keep the socialist leadership strong. 

The construction of socialism model is unique in each country guided by it’s history, demography, culture, geopolitical context and economic context. However, we all must not forget that we have a common aim to build socialism not only at our home, but to promote socialist world order that is just, multilateral, equally sovereign and truly democratize the international institution. 

Therefore, it is important that we need to stand together on our struggle to transform the world order, to liberate the international institutions from capitalist trap, imperialist exploitation and fascist aggression. This is possible only through the stronger solidarity, better exchanges, and respect to each other’s domestic context and support to domestic socialist, progressive movement. 

This conference is significant for this reason. 

Once again, the outcome of the conference would enable us to better strengthen our effort for just world order, socialist movement at our home, solidarity among people and nations on their fight against imperialism and fascism. 

At the end I would like to share our solidarity from the people and members of my party to the people and leader of Venezuela on their march to constitutional reform, progression and resilient actions against all unjust sanctions. 

Long live global solidarity for socialism.
