Topic: Bolivarian Missions


  
  Bolivarian Missions - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Bolivarian Missions are a series of social justice, social welfare, anti-poverty, and educational programs implemented under the administration of the current Venezuelan president Hugo Chávez.
Mission Guaicaipuro (launched 12 October 2003) - carried out by the Venezuelan Ministry of Environment and Natural Resources, this program seeks to restore communal land titles and human rights to Venezuela's numerous indigenous communities, in addition to defending their these rights against resource and financial speculation by the dominant culture.
In particular, the literacy programs that comprise Mission Sucre are centered on fostering universal literacy among Venezuela's adult populace; an adjunct to this is the facilitation of their comprehension of the Venezuelan Constitution of 1999 and the inherent rights that they, as Venezuelan citizens, are guaranteed under this document.

Each mission is equally impressive in terms of the strength and spirit of the participants and their eagerness to continue in their education and in their efforts to further social change in their homes and communities.
Celebrations of the mission itself and of the efforts of the community are often held with the barrios as an affirmation of the process and a celebration of life.
Ultimately, this is the mission of missions; to build a public with a solid foundation and capacity to participate in their own democracy, in the creation of their reality, and in the manifestation of their vision.

 Hugo Chávez - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
As the leader of the "Bolivarian Revolution", Chávez is known for his radical socialist governance, his promotion of Latin American integration and anti-imperialism, and his heavy criticism of neoliberal globalization and United States foreign policy.
Chávez's domestic policy is embodied by the Bolivarian Missions, a series of social justice programs that have radically altered the economic and cultural landscape of Venezuela.
Pro-Chávez Bolivarian circles are not exclusive to Venezuela—similar circles of supporters remain widespread in, for example, Germany, Austria, and France (where circles exist in Vienna, Tübingen, Bielefeld, and Paris).

Mission Mercal is essentially a funding stream that subsidizes and has built hundreds of small supermarkets and farmers’ markets that get much of their foodstuffs from local agricultural production.
Mission Barrio Adentro is a network of small clinics, mainly in local neighborhood homes and staffed by medical experts, that provide primary care to local community members.
The Bolivarian missions would be jeopardized as FTAA would force economic emphasis and public subsidies away from local and internal development to the import/export sector of the economy — the sector with the least direct benefits for the working class and small farmers.

For the authors, the global, globalized context of the Bolivarian Revolution is also crystal-clear: "The coup was headed by the Venezuelan bourgeoisie and their cronies in the armed forces (FAN).
Significant for the Bolivarian Revolution, among other thinkers, for example, Simon Bolivar, Simon Rodriguez or Francisco de Miranda, it is imperative to study the revolutionary works of the social democratic bourgeois scientist and radical socialist philosopher Karl Marx and of his socialist followers very well.

 Notes on the Bolivarian Revolution
The Bolivarian revolution, as the Venezuelan process of change is known, has taken a dramatic turn over the last six months.
The Bolivarian Houses, UBEs, local cultural centers (which tend to take the form of local community organizing centers), the UNT and a large number of other political organizations all play a role in mobilizing the masses in defense of the revolution.
Together with the Bolivarian Houses, which is what many Bolivarian Circles have become and whose membership overlaps considerably with that of the UBEs, they are central to the political, social, cultural organization of the people.

As the leader of the "Bolivarian Revolution", Chávez is known for his democratic socialist governance, his promotion of Latin American integration and anti-imperialism, and his radical criticism of neoliberal globalization and United States foreign policy.
At the same time, he granted inalienable titles to over 6,800 square kilometers of land traditionally inhabited by Amazonian indigenous peoples to their respective resident natives, though this land could not be bought or sold as Western-style title deeds can.
For example, critics question the motives behind the Bolivarian Missions' regular cash and in-kind payments to the millions of poor Venezuelans enrolling in their social programs; such policy, they argue, is designed primarily to increase Chavez's popularity.

On April 29, 2005 Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez and Cuban President Fidel Castro met in Havana to renew their call for a hemispheric trade pact, the Bolivarian Alternative for the Americas (ALBA), as an alternative to the U.S.-led Free Trade Area of the Americas (FTAA).
Chávez has also replicated many of Castro’s societal ideas, creating Bolivarian Youth Brigades and Bolivarian Circles, which are similar to Castro’s Young Pioneers and Committees for the Defense of the Revolution, in order to build support among the poor for Bolivarianism.
Chávez’s Bolivarian vision, much like Bolívar’s own, is continentalist in nature and emphasizes the creation of a unified South America that can operate as an independent power in the hemisphere and the world; i.e.

The democratization process of the Bolivarian Revolution was not at all limited to the political realm, but an active, economically and socially protagonist engagement had been encouraged in the form of autonomous cooperatives, open and flexible organizations under the control of both, their associated workers and the consumers of their products.
This is just a glimpse into the immediate problematic of what is "wrong" with Venezuela's Bolivarian Constitution in the eyes of the national and international economic, financial and energetic interest of the ruling elites and the big, transnational corporations.
The magnitude of their combined and sustained attack on the democratically elected, legal and legitimate government presided by Hugo Chávez reveals the magnitude of the basically nationalistic yet not isolationist, humanistic project of the nation envisioned, outlined and enshrined in the 1999 constitution.

Known as “missions”, these programs have included a mass literacy and primary school completion campaign known as Mission Robinson, a drive to expand high school graduation known as Mission Ribas, and the expansion of access to higher education through Mission Sucre.
The missions have been implemented quickly, and on a huge scale, with a consequently large deployment of resources.
The bulk of education administration in Venezuela remains in the hands of Chavez’s opponents, and there have been reports that the missions and Bolivarian schools have been victims of a range of sabotage attempts, including teachers refusing to teach at the schools and administrators refusing to open Bolivarian schools.

O'Grady, without a single piece of evidence, also purports that Chavez "may be bent on arming his revolutionary cadres all over South America," suggesting that Castro and Chavez are on a mission "to expand their influence throughout the region" and use the "FARC's arms and narcotics trading network…to spreading the Chavez revolution."
Furthermore, she unfairly refers to the missions as "state handouts" that "could pay off at the polls." Her position on the referendum is blatantly unbalanced and she fails to account for shady actions by the opposition.
