I linked to it on my blog. Just wanted to let you know that, despite his long and illustrious career of leftist militancy, Luis Michilena broke with Chavez in 2002 and joined the forces of reaction. A real pity. Hey Louis, this is an interesting post. I linked to it on my blog.

I read Camejo's piece and thought that it perhaps took aim at too many strawmen, like the Posadaists, and also presented an inaccurate picture of the progress of the Alliance Party of NZ. The story of the Alliance in the years since Camejo's text was written, and the story of similar groups in other countries like the Italian PRC, suggests that he might have to rethink some of the more sanguine passages in his essay. I agree completely that we need to translate and study the texts of the Venezuelan revolutionary tradition, including La Causa R. It's a pity MIA can't become a focus for such a job.
