Prior to April 2002 I probably would have been in general agreement with what I was able to read of the article (before terminal fatigue set in because of its sectarian abstraction). The massive, popular resistance to the coup opened my eyes and mind about LEARNING what was happening in Venezuela. Fred's article is a real contribution to that process. These anarchist comrades (it doesn't matter that they are in Venezuela) don't seem to have had a similar experience. They still see "revolution" totally through 19th century ideological blinkers.
