We shall see. It's not for nothing that the Bolivarian Revolution has been pitched as a process. What is certain is that Chavez considers the current state of affairs, i.e., the poor getting more than before, but the rich getting much, much more than them, to be a problem, the problem that should be a matter of constitutional revision, rather than a new policy here and a new policy there. -- Yoshie <http://montages.blogspot.com/> <http://mrzine.org> <http://monthlyreview.org/>
