Alan Woods Marxist Socialist The Venezuelan Revolution: A Marxist Perspective

This book by Alan Woods is essential reading for all those who want
to understand what is happening in Venezuela today. But this is no
mere description of events. It is a powerful Marxist analysis of
the Venezuelan Revolution, its weaknesses and strengths, its
contradictions and unique characteristics. The book was not written
with hindsight., Every chapter, beginning with the coup of April
2002, was written as the events themselves were unfolding, and
traces the winding course of the revolution. They reflect the
immediacy and lightning speed of events happening before our very
eyes.

Alan Woods has been a consistent champion of the Venezuelan
Revolution since its inception. He helped initiate the Hands Off
Venezuela Campaign. He has held personal discussions with Hugo
Chavez, which are recounted in this book.

The author concludes that the Venezuelan Revolution cannot stop
half-way and holds up the perspective of a victorious socialist
transformation. It explains that only by expropriating the power of
the oligarchy could it succeed and spread to the rest of the
continent. This analysis is thus incredibly pertinent given recent
events in the country.
