We should be clear, though, that the project of co-management in Venezuela is not at all the same as what has been called co-management in Germany.
Giving workers' representatives a presence in capitalist decision-making in Germany was a means of incorporating workers into the project of capitalists, separating them from their representatives and creating an identity of workers with the particular capitalist firms in which they worked.
Co-management in Venezuela is an attempt to avoid this particular mistake.

This step followed Venezuela’s public accusation that U.S. naval attaché John Correa was engaged in espionage, which led to his ejection from the country (Venezuela had no reason to invent this claim and Washington, every reason to deny it).
One component of Washington’s larghetto attempts to undermine Venezuela’s constitutional rule has been the channeling of funds to anti-Chávez cabals being mixed in Venezuela, and then reacting with cultivated outrage when the leaders of such a movement are threatened with prosecution.
This was done by the division of funds: half to ostensibly centrist operations like the National Democratic Institute, which was meant to be the self-respecting liberal deodorant to relieve the foul scent of the three other right wing core grantees, whose funds mainly go to extremist causes.

 Venezuela's New Chokehold on Civil Society
For now, Venezuela’s new International Cooperation Law is a framework, but when filled in by President Hugo Chávez, it will muzzle the few voices that still provide a check on his creeping dictatorship.
Interna­tional broadcasting to Venezuela should encourage the poor to ask whether they are any better off than they were before the Chávez regime as well as reveal losses to corruption and transfers to political causes outside Venezuela.

Venezuela is divided into 23 states (estados), 1 Capital District (Distrito Capital) and the Federal Dependencies (Dependencias Federales de Ultramar) that consist on a large number of Venezuelan islands.

 Archivo - The dilemmas of political change in Venezuela: A view from the outside
Democracy is not a fluid concept that can be adopted to fit any process of political change inaugurated under the name of participation and anti-corruption.Such an understanding of democracy ignores fundamental philosophical bases of democracy that should be the true litmus test of any government or constitution.
This democratic truth has manifested itself in a particular set of institutions in the U.S.: the effective division of powers between executive, legislative and judicial branches of government and the layers of federal, state and local government and multiple legal and institutional means that represent--and protect--a plurality of interests.
Whether the last year in Venezuela represents a crisis or not, the real survival of a democracy depends on its ability to resolve political change within the system.

If you look at the political division in Venezuela you would notice that the "opposition" is comprised of the majority of Venezuelans fortunate enough to get a college education and understand that his economic plans are ridiculous.
Chavez is slowly taking every single aspect of Venezuela that for Venezuelans made it a source of pride and joy, and destroying or changing any symbol of it.
Now its time for the people to take their country back from people like you, and start a new Venezuela, were the MASSES educated or not take control of their own country, and hopefully send people like you to Miami.
