Hugo Chavez's Social Democratic Agenda - by Stephen Lendman

Hugo Chavez Frias was reelected by an overwhelming nearly two to one margin 
over his only serious rival on December 3, 2006 giving him a mandate to 
proceed with his agenda to build a socialist society in the 21st century on a 
Bolivarian model designed to meet the needs of the current era in Venezuela 
and Latin America overall.  Chavez first announced his intentions on January 
30, 2005 at the Fifth World Social Forum in Porto Alegre, Brazil, and his 
people affirmed they want him to proceed with it in his new term to run until 
December, 2012.

Chavez wants to build a humanistic democratic society based on solidarity and 
respect for political, economic, social and cultural human and civil rights, 
but not the top-down bureaucratic kind that doomed the Soviet Union and 
Eastern European states.
