 land reforem in venezuala : Melbourne Indymedia
Chavez has held on, however, and in rural states like Barinas, known for its extensive lush estates and chronic poverty, the government has marched apace with its agrarian reform program, propelling an emboldened movement of peasants, or campesinos, that has clashed with wealthy cattle ranchers who lay claim to the land.
According to Leonardo Patino, the INTI legal counsel in Barinas, the land was given to the campesinos because it was considered both public and idle.
Under the law, the distributed land remains in the hands of the state, and the government must encourage the formation of peasant co-operatives and collective farms, where the state is to provide housing, health care and education.

The state of Barinas, in western Venezuela, is home to a great deal of archaeological information about the prehispanic chiefdoms that existed there from as early as the 500s CE.
Prehispanic chiefdoms are societies with centralized political authority and institutionalized social differentiation, but lacking the internally specialized, bureaucratic government characteristic of a state.
The chiefdom can also be seen as the intermediate step between an egalitarian society and a state, though it must be emphasized that the chiefdom is its own political entity and not simply a transitional phase.
