Before the election the PCV released this article, expressing it's support for Maduro and pointing out the necessities of the struggle in Venezuela:
PCV: “Trascender el actual Estado Burgués, por un Estado Popular, Democrático y Revolucionario”
Caracas, 13 mar. 2013, Tribuna Popular TP.
The PCV, in the mark of the XII National Conference has stated it's support for presidential candidate Nicolás Maduro Moros, while stating [...] in the 5th point of the resolution: "Assure that our conviction in the necessity to overcome the current State, that still is in its essence a bourgeois one, through the building of a new Popular, Democratic and Revolutionary State gets to the President in Exercise Nicolás Maduro."
"The State - according to the Programme of the PCV - is the apparatus of force by which the class or the coalition of ruling classes exert their power to guarantee and preserve their political, economic, social, cultural and ideological domination, as well as reproducing the existing order"
According to it's program, the PCV says: “During the puntofijista period the State responded to the interests of the monopolist burgeoisie associated to the transnational companies; putting the economic assets of the nation at its service. Today, this bourgeoisie has lost part of its power, and therefore, of the control over the state apparatus, and was partially substituted by new layers of the emerging bourgeoisie."
"Presidentialism, that traces its historical roots in the semi-feudal "caudillismo", has today other connotations. The State is essencialist a paternalist one, that distributes a good parte of the national resource to the poor population, from an assistencialist praxis. That is justifiable as a conjuctural policy to attend in an emergencial way the deepness of inequality, but can deepen clientelist policies between the people.", says the programme of the PCV.
"The Venezolan State has evolved according to the changes in the economical structure of the country. In the beginning og the XX century, it expressed the interests of the landowners, importer and exporters, that dominated the economy. After the exploration of oil, the dominant classes are enslaved by imperialism and the "gomecist" tyranny serves as an instrument for the looting of our wealth."
An update in the program informs: After the overcoming of the neoliberal policies in the 80s and 90s, that searched to reduce the role of the State in society, a new stage in the venezolan State is inaugurated, sustained by the so-called practice of participative democracy, through the tranference of compentence and resources to local levels of the bureaucratic apparatus, and the incorporation of popular organizations in State manegment."
This is the transformation that the PCV is proposing for the historical moment: "However, these changes are not capable of modifying the class caracter of the State, but only facilitate bureaucratic processes. Marxist-leninist theory and the praxis of different socialist revolutions demonstrate that the real transformation in the State is conditioned to the chance of the social relations of production, through the efective control of the working class over the administration of resources provenient from their own work. The only State that truly serves to the workers is the Democratic Popular Revolutionary State in the perspective of building socialism."

So, what do you think of this statement?
I felt the need to translate this after the accusations that leftist forces were supporting Bolivarianism and the current venezolan government uncritically, giving support to petty-bourgeois and reactionary policies.
For the PCV, this part of their programme means the building of alternatives to power, such as councils in villages, workplaces and neighbourhoods, while using the legal advantages of the "participative democracy" policy by the current government.
