[Elektronische Daten] [Steve Ellner] The ongoing radicalization over an extended period under the presidency of Hugo Chávez contrasts with revolutions elsewhere. The Chávez government has passed through increasingly radical stages beginning with moderate policies in 1999-2000, and leading to widespread expropriations after 2007. Political victories initiated each new stage. The escalations from one stage to the next helped identify "enemies” of the process of change. Government victories and radicalization infused rank-and-file Chavistas with a sense of optimism. The Venezuelan process recalls the concept of permanent revolution espoused by Leon Trotsky, but there are areas of divergence: First, in contrast to the Venezuelan case, Trotsky insisted that the working class and its vanguard party play the lead role untied to their class enemies. Second, Chávez throughout his 12years of rule has occasionally accepted compromise arrangements with the adversaries of change.
