It debunks claims made by Venezuelan and U.S. rightists that the ChaÌvez government is dictatorial, as well as, claims made by Venezuelan and US leftists that the ChaÌvez government is revolutionary. Instead the book argues that the ChaÌvez regime is one of a long line of Latin American populist regimes that revolutionary - "rhetoric aside" - ultimately have been subservient to the United States as well as to multinational corporations. The book concludes by explaining how Venezuela's autonomous social, labour, and environmental movements have been systematically disempowered by the ChaÌvez regime, but that despite this they remain the basis of a truly democratic, revolutionary alternative."--Cover. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references (p.
