[A-List] Hundreds of Thousands March in Support of Chavez

["Charles Brown" <cbrown@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thank you Charles for this vitally important post, which deserves and needs
close study.  Chavez turns the tables on Soros-type exploitation of the
concept of civil society by returning to Marx's original meaning, with its
class analysis.  It is a masterly response to Venezuelan's situation, in
which US attempts at destabilisation through financial support for colour
(counter)-revolution-style "civil society" are obviously ongoing, and the
"tyrannical, totalitarian" state they are trying to overthrow is one which
is beginning to take the steps to empower the people to liberate themselves
from the "civil society" (in Marx's sense) of the oligarchy, dominated by
the US. 
Comradely, 
James

CB: Yes, James. Thanks for pointing out Chavez's learned and subtle use of
the double meaning of "civil society" , Marxist and neo-liberal.
