		Chavez’s political views found some resonance in the ranks; not an oddity in numerous Latin American countries where, for better and usually for worse, the officer corps takes a strong interest in politics.
		The historic opening for Chavez came in the late 1980s and early ‘90s when the country, despite its vast oil reserves, was suffering from economic decline and disillusionment with rampant political corruption under the U.S.-backed regime of President Carlos Andres Perez was reaching a boiling point.
		As diligently as Chavez works to improve the lives of a majority of his people, as courageous as he is in dealing with geopolitical issues, his crowning achievement must be that, more than anyone in modern history, he brought the levers of government closer to the sovereign people.

	Behind the Headlines
		That Chavez doesn't fit into any of the formerly useful categories of "right" and "left" is the source of whatever confusion there is about what he believes, but this is due to the myopia of his critics, for the most part, and not – as we shall see – any fuzziness in his own thinking..
		But the idea that Chavez is sitting at Fidel's feet, imbibing Marxist-Leninist doctrine is the wish-fulfillment fantasy of hallucinating cold warriors who simply cannot believe in the death of their old adversary, Communism: they see its ghost everywhere, like the after-image of a lingering nightmare.
		What Chavez represents is something altogether new, at least in that part of the world, an ideology that is neither left nor right but firmly rooted in the concept of national sovereignty: a post-democratic nationalism, arisen largely in reaction to US economic and military domination of the region.

		The elites in Venezuela are wild with rage at Chavez to the point that they conducted a six-year-long strike in an attempt to disrupt the economy that failed only because the oil money kept it from complete collapse.
		If Chavez succeeds in changing the balance of power in Venezuela to one with truly broad representation and succeeds in creating a literate and even well-educated society with full employment, the masses will be harder for the elites to control.

		Analysts say the result is that Chavez is rewriting the rules of oil investment, forcing huge companies to share ownership and profits with the Venezuelan government.
		Chavez's plan doesn't call for nationalizing the energy industry; instead, it calls for forming what some experts call "hybrid socialism." And oil companies, while unhappy, are not racing for the door.

		The Chavez movement's mobilization strategy designed to shore up the Constituent Assembly also brings to the fore demands of a socio-economic nature.
