Venezuela under Chavez

[Comrade1]

Would you say that Chavez is turning Venezuela into a socialist state?? Explain why or why not.

So far the Chavez has successfully created a socialist-like economy that is in direct opposition with a capitalist one. This will not last long as one will have to go.

No, Venezuela is not a socialist state.

[Rusty Shackleford]

it is a bourgeois state with a reformist-revolutionary government. in some places, there are instances of parallel states.

i believe the communes are an example of that.

Funny is how people like to fall in the lie that Chavez is a dictator. But actually every president is a dictator because they are also chosen democratic.

I had not installed the English dictionary complement to the Firefox of my "Canaima" Linux distro, so my grammar will be terrible :blushing: and I wish I weren't under the PSUV's discipline :lol:

Any serious analysis of what is going on in my country would demonstrate that Chávez and his companions in the Bolivarian government aren't real Marxist cadres.

To make things worst, there is a generalized confusion in considering social-justice, minorities rights' and national interest's defense as socialism.

Only anti-imperialism and the potential clash with the comprador bourgeoisie make the Bolivarian Revolution worths a lot, IMHO.
