The many facets of chavista thought

Bolivarian is a term indicating the inhabitants of the current six countries that owe their emancipation to Libertador: Colombia, Bolivia, Ecuador, Panama, Peru and Venezuela. The word Bolivarista identifies, conversely, those who are using the ideas and deeds of Simon Bolívar (depicted in the image) in interpreting key policy implementation: Bolivarists are intellectuals, scholars and politicians who support the search for a Great Nation ( "For us the homeland is America," said Bolívar in Urdaneta in 1814) and aim to keep alive the idea of a confederation of states and tighten bonds of cultural and economic exchanges between the countries Bolivarian to point to cancel or confuse borders and thus achieve the dream of patriot, the "nation of republics".

In detail, the Bolivarismo embodies various historical projects as "colombianity" or reconstruction of the ancient alliance between Colombia, Ecuador, Panama and Venezuela, the Andean confederation, which includes Bolivia and Peru in close collaboration with the "Great Colombia" in a system connected, the American general congress within which find place all countries of Hispanic america and, finally, the doctrine on the political world, old aspiration Bolivarian which took partial implementation within international bodies such as the University Panamerican, the United Nations, the Organization of American States and others. Today the terms bolivarian and bolivarist are used interchangeably. The same general propose, in 1815, the creation of an international city that became home the idea of unity of the continent, free from the constraints of the nation and a symbol of unity and independence. What is not the place (and the same) of the United Nations.

The political experience of decisive commander Chávez dates back to 1974, when it was part of a military delegation sent to Peru to celebrate the 150 anniversary of the Battle of Ayacucho, the same place where the armies of Bolívar and Sucre had beat in 1824 forces colonial Spanish, finally freeing Peru. Reading that provides Chávez of this historical experience lends itself to the formulation of a draft political unification extranazionale and Continental. In Peru, Chavez also made aware of the value of political coup of General Juan Velasco Alvarado, who in 1968 s'impossessò power along with a group of progressive military decided to cancel the social injustices of previous governments oligarchici and implement radical reforms in the economy , social and institutional. The General subsequently edited a booklet titled The revolución nacional peruana which were contained in the principles that would inspire radical change in the political situation, economic and social Andean country.

Among the most important reforms introduced by the military government of Alvarado, there were agrarian reform and the introduction of Sinamos (Sistema Nacional de apoyo a la movilización social) comparable to the existing committees Bolivariani. In short, no party structures but a network of popular mobilization and support for government measures that are not a simple coordinating bodies for the mass implementation of reforms for indoctrination or propaganda. Could regarded as a popular involvement of the masses from below, but with a plan from previously. On the basis of this experience, in 1977 Chavez decides to form a clandestine group, the Ejército de liberación del Pueblo de Venezuela, but the intentions of action of this group were basically on paper. Five years later, gave birth to a new clandestine movement, better organized and the same internal forces, called Movimiento Bolívariano Revolucionario-200 (Mbr-200). A Saman of Guere, near Maracay, the young officers repeated the same formula by Simon Bolívar in Rome on August 15, 1805 on the hill of Montesacro: "I swear before you, swear on God of my fathers; swear on them; swear on my honor and Fatherland not give rest to my arm, nor requie the soul mine, until I broke the chains that oppress us by the will of the Spanish power.
2e8a663c39af1ac6cee5293892075a3a.jpg Another element that characterizes the political thought of Chavez comes from a primitive form of Christianity that has strongly influenced some of its ideas of solidarity and social redemption. The theology of liberation, advocated by some of the basic Catholic clergy, located in Chávez thoughts of a reworking. William Izarria, former Deputy Minister for Foreign Affairs of Venezuela, during a recent conference in Rome, drew ideological references Commander: Simon Bolívar, Che Guevara, Jesus Christ, indicating three foundations of "socialism of the twenty-first century" common good, social production , direct participation. If one of these three elements not materialize, the whole project would fail. Moreover Chávez during his meetings often openly manifested his being a Christian and Catholic showing the cross holding around his neck. "One of the fundamental characteristics of a leader, especially a revolutionary leader is to follow the path of Christ." And yet he played in a Havana Journal: "The bolivarismo is that Christianity is socialism", without forget to remind the crowd that "it is easier for a camel to enter the eye of a needle, in a rich kingdom of God. " Of course, this particular type of Christianity does not reflect the orthodoxy of the Roman Catholic Church, so much so that many supporters of the theology of liberation have suffered the shame of excommunication. Already in one of his first apostolic journeys in Mexico, in January 1979, Pope John Paul II declared that "the concept of Christ as a political figure, a revolutionary ... is not compatible with the teachings of the Church".

During the period of detention, the military has maintained regular relations with members of the Movimiento al Socialism (Mas), with representatives of The Case Re with other left as the Frente patriótico Luis Miquilena, founder of the Partido Communist venezolano unit in 1946 and exponent one of the many current national socialism in contrast with the Communist parties linked to Moscow. In 1997 thus saw the Movimiento Quinta República or Mvr (symbol pictured above), in view of the political and administrative elections the following year. It is at this time that our thoughts and the figure of Bolivar out purposefully to light: bolivariano itself movement chavista and will be the Bolivarian revolution that is beginning to take the first steps after the elections of 1998. The same Chávez published a booklet whose title is La propuesta para transormar to Venezuela, which is for the first time detailed in the organic movement's political program. Chavez was elected with 56.20% of the votes, by radically changing the history of Venezuela.
