IMT attitude towards Chavez and the Bolivarian Revolution

In short here is my impression of the Bolivarian Revolution. Can someone tell me if it is the same as the IMT position (of course I took the working within the PSUV idea from the IMT) .
If not can someone clarify the things that are not consistent with our analysis so I can read up on them?

I think that the Bolivarian Revolution is a classic example of confirmation of Trotsky's Permanent revolution.

No doubt that the Bolivarian Revolution has been a bourgeois democratic revolution in a semi-colonial country. But what should the attitude of the communists be? I think that as communists we should support the anti-imperialist nature of this revolution and the struggle for Venezuela to pass from imperialist dominated, to a bourgeois democracy. Though, as Trotsky explained in his Permanent Revolution theory, the bourgeoisie is no longer progressive in backwards countries, as it is tied hand and foot to foreign capital. Hence the reactionary role of the bourgeoisie in Venezuela, who wholeheartedly supports the Opposition.

The Opposition in Venezuela is a reactionary force, who wants to preserve "all the old crap" , which is foreign imperialism etc. On the other hand the Chavistas have moved to the left in the past ten years. Just like Castro, Chavez has moved to the left and has realised that under capitalism, those essentialy progressive steps towards a national market and the end of imperialist domination cannot happen.

This is why he talks about "Socialism of the 21st century". Unfortunately socialism of the 21st century as he calls in is very confused, as Chavez is not a Marxist, same goes for the rest of the leaders of the Bolivarian movement. Some of them are even reactionary bureaucrats who due to their well-paying bureaucratic positions, have sold out the movement and have become reactionary.

What should the attitude of the marxists be on the "bolivarian revolution" then?As marxists we should recognize the progressive anti-imperialist characteristics of the bolivarian revolution. At the same time we need to point out that they cannot develop capitalism in Venezuela under alliances (popular fronts) , with the progressive bourgeoisie. They need to pursue a class independent way, that is nationalization of the commanding heights of the economy under workers control, expropriation of the oligarchy, the establishment of workers and peasants militias etc. All that with the proletariat being the leading force and the peasantry being its allies.

For that to happen a genuine revolutionary party needs to be build. But it is not enough to proclaim a genuine revolutionary party. There needs to be an independent organization of marxists in the PSUV which will agitate for its creation amongst the greater masses of workers, students and peasants who have been re-awakened and entered the political arena in the past 10 years.

In short we should support the progressive Bolivarian Revolution as we should not forget that Venezuela is a semi-colonial country and the building of bourgeois democracy, a national market and the ending of imperialist domination are progressive steps. On the other hand we should not forget that the bourgeoisie is reactionary and tied hand and foot with imperialism so it cannot perform these tasks. Only the proletariat can perform these tasks in alliance with the peasantry and combine these tasks with those of building socialism, nationally and internationally!
