I interviewed Tariq Ali the other week for my radio show, and finally
got to broadcast it last night; it'll be up on my web archive today.
Tariq speaks with Chavez fairly often, and says that Chavez regularly
says that we are not living in a revolutionary epoch, and all we can
accomplish now is a left social democratic set of reforms. "We cannot
leap" beyond history, he says - and Castro reportedly agrees. This is
what Chavez means when he talks about 21st century socialism.
