Venezuela - another point of view:

Opposition Against the "Bolivarian Revolution"

Of course it's wellknown that the US administration is (simply said^^) in a strong opposition against H. Chavez' project of the "Bolivarian Revolution" or the so-called "Socialism of the 21st Century". Their bourgeois collaborators in Venezuela - of course - are also fighting against it.

But just few years ago we'd to learn that even the (hard-core) orthodox communists in Venezuela (in contrast to their int'l sister organizations, such as the Communist Party of Germany/Red Morning, the former KPD/ML), like Partido Bandera Roja(Red Flag Party) were/are in direct opposition against Chavez' government.(*)

Now - just yesterday - I found an article written by anarchists in Venezuela and I'd to learn that they are also in complete opposition against the current system. For example they called for "election abstention" last December..

Anarchist propaganda poster:

Protest rally against the "State exploitation of the

natural resources (carbon) in the territories of the natives"

* 'Like many others, Jennifer Salsedo, a member of the Stalinist group Bandera Roja (Red Flag), found herself in a coalition with members of the liberal and centre-right parties opposed to Mr Chávez.

But ideological differences had been put to one side.

"We are on the left, but what he has done is rob us of debate on the left. Right now there is no ideology," she said as other members of Bandera Roja waved flags in time to the rapping of one of their party cadres.

"Right now our war is against the hatred and deception that this man has sown throughout the country. The fraud is against everyone: he invented the Bolivarian Republic, but what does that mean?

"He invented a new market, but it has the same goods as before. He invented a Bolivarian university. What on earth is that?"' (Guardian, 2004.8.14)
