And Victor does not explain that some lands in Venezuela have been given back to the indigenous and yes president Chavez has and did support and stood with the indigenous against the farmers who stole the land but the bureaucracy as they have in most things sabotaged, delayed, refused to follow the country's laws and orders from the president.
But the Bolivarian revolution was not just and is not the state but the masses, something the PO does not realize or cares too but just think of them as the Argentina all knowing edition of the SPARTS who back in the day and still attack groups who are struggling against capitalism. The PO was like the opposition and contras, always attacking president Chavez the revolution while not doing much themselves.
