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.
This will keep me thinking all day.
