Amazingly, the 35 revolutionaries interviewed by Cira Pascual Marquina
and Chris Gilbert in their new book,/Venezuela, the Present As Struggle
<https://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1583678646/counterpunchmaga>,/still
find cause for optimism. Some seem eager to work with Maduro’s
government to promote specific aspects of socialism. Those interviewed
include communards, feminists, campesino leaders, internationalists,
barrio organizers and intellectuals. All share the interviewers’
critical perspective, expressed at the outset: dismay at Maduro’s
accommodations with capital, “leaving two bleak options on the table:
imperialist restoration or bureaucratic stagnation…choosing between the
quick versus the slow suffocation of the socialist revolution.” But
despite this dire choice, they don’t succumb to pessimism. Their aim is
to nudge the government in a more democratic, more truly socialist
direction.
