This of course misses the point that the right to self-determination of peoples and the independence of nations presupposes separation from and resistance to those same imperial powers. | Ever since the phenomenon of Hugo Chavez in the late 1990s dispensed with t…

First, the Chavistas (supporters of Hugo Chávez and the Bolivarian project that is now led by President Nicolás Maduro) have the enormous advantage of an organised mass base.
