Speaking to a gathering of
national leaders of the PSUV on May 30, President Chavez explained that he was
reading a book by Alan Woods, Bolshevism - the road to revolution, and
raised a copy for everyone to see. He referred to Alan as a friend and a
British Marxist theoretician. He then quoted a couple of passages from the book
on the role of the revolutionary party.
Alan Woods in an interview with Argenpress,
referring to the situation in Venezuela,
explains that those who argue that we must wait for a better moment are wrong. Time is
not on our side but on the side of the counterrevolution. It is not too soon,
but very, very late. The December referendum was a warning that the masses are
getting tired of endless delays, of endless parades and demonstrations,
referendums and election campaigns. They demand action and they demand it now!
A
public round-table discussion on the theory of Permanent Revolution and
the ideas of Leon Trotsky, and how these ideas are now shaping the
revolution in Venezuela, Cuba, and the rest of Latin America. Leading the discussion will be Celia Hart and Jorge Martin.
