 June 14th 2011 - The whole Bolivarian revolution was a sui generis revolution because of the way that it was installed. There was no popular uprising or an armed struggle that established it. Just the opposite, the leader arrived at the head of this whole process as president elect by representative democracy, the kind you find in any capitalist country. It was a revolution that was born from above and late from below, but that immediately had the unsuspecting support of the bases. So much so that it was these popular bases who maintained the revolution in the most critical moments that it has been through; the coup d’état of 2002, the business strike, the petroleum sabotage. This great mobilisation of people was the best guarantee of the revolution continuing. Will it continue being so in the future? …

Be careful commander, even though you don’t want it, the class struggle is there,  and to ingratiate yourself with the enemy doesn’t help to defeat it! Even though you don’t like it, even though it’s discordant, the May 1968 slogan contains great wisdom: Those who make revolutions half way only dig their own graves.
