No, there is a group called "Bandera Roja", associated with Hoxhaite
tendencies, that is actually part of the bourgeois opposition to Chavez. All
Trotskyist groups (all of whom are very, very small) that I'm aware of defend
Chavez's gov't in one form or other (as Fred said, in some cases "supporting
the masses but criticizing the leadership...").
