With the heated rhetoric traded between Hugo Chavez and Raul Baduel, does the latter or someone else in the military have the potential to be another Augusto Pinochet? If so, what is Chavez doing to pre-empt the would-be's move?

Nothing. The military (for the most part if I've heard correctly) supports Chavez and has been purged of reactionary elements throughout the past decade.

That's why this Raul is his former military chief.

Not to mention the militia that was established by "Mission Miranda" to defend against invasions and coups.

Baduel represented the typical petty bourguois element in the Bolivarian movement; the sad thing is that many of these elements remain today disguised with left rethoric and opportunism. These are the first ones to be used by the bourguoise when class contradiction expose them, such as now when the oligarchy is exploiting the fact that he was a former allied, and portraying him as a "constitutional" official standing up to the popular government. The working class must mobilize to push forward the not only the reformist agenda of the constituional reforms (as a democratic tool for working class interests) but radicalizing in workers seizure of means of production, while expousing petty buorgois "chavistas".
