Chavez the Radical XVIII: ‘The Principal Instructor Of The Conscience is Praxis’
In this edition of Chávez the Radical, Chávez recounts the transformation of his vague political beginnings into the development of a substancial leftist political philosophy.
The Bolivarian Revolution has been a long and difficult struggle replete with challenges and transformations. In this edition of Chávez the Radical, Hugo Chávez tells the story of his early presidency, his doubts and ambiguity, and the efforts of the national bourgeoisie and international power brokers to domesticate him. From the IMF and the WTO to predawn meetings with Fidel, Chávez explains how the Venezuelan Process evolved, through praxis, from a timid, potentially reformist Bolivarian movement, into the bold anti-imperialist and socialist philosophy that has come to define Chavismo.
