[Marxism] James Petras on Chavez

[Rohan Gaiswinkler <rohanger@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

In his most recent contribution to counterpunch, James Petras appears to have 
zero comprehension of the tactical, diplomatic and administrative complexities 
that the Chavez and the Venezuelan gov have to deal with.  Unable to attack 
Chavez with genuine Marxist analysis, Petras instead relies on ultraleft 
pedantry.

In his call for the "people of good will" to unite behind Granda's rights as a 
political prisoner, Petras makes no mention of how extraordinarily difficult 
such a task will be given FARC's own hostage kidnappings, which include a 
petty-bourgeois anti-corruption campaigner.
