Thirty-two years ago today, Hugo Chávez, then a military officer, launched an unsuccessful armed insurrection in Venezuela in an attempt to overthrow neoliberal President Carlos Andrés Pérez.
That day, he led five units into downtown Caracas in an attempt to seize the presidential palace. However, Pérez had advanced knowledge of the insurrection and could avoid capture.
Although rebels captured some cities across the country, Chávez could not take the capital, Caracas, and was arrested and imprisoned.
Once captured, Chávez was forced to make an announcement on live television admitting defeat and calling on his men to stand down. Chávez took advantage of the fact he was alive to say that the struggle was over “for now,” implying that it could be taken up again at a future date.
Four years later, in 1998, he was elected President of Venezuela for the first time. He embarked on a program to see natural resource nationalization and a new democratic constitution.

“Damn you, State of Israel!” – Watch this iconic rant by Venezuelan revolutionary leader Hugo Chávez, echoing the sentiments of many today in response to Israel's ongoing extermination war against Gaza.
Chávez cut all ties with Israel during the 2008-2009 Gaza war, denouncing it as a "state terrorist" entity. In 2009, Venezuela formally recognized the State of Palestine, affirming its support for Palestinian sovereignty.

"In contrast, the army we have created today is a genuine people’s army made up of the sons and daughters of the workers, peasants and other sections of the Korean working people, which fights for the liberation and independence of the Korean nation and for the happiness of the masses against the imperialist aggressive forces from abroad and the reactionary forces at home. Therefore, should any enemy attempt to infringe upon our country’s freedom and destroy our people’s happy life, our People’s Army men will fight to the last drop of their blood to defeat him, and they will defend the country and the people to the bitter end. This is the most important feature of the People’s Army we have founded"
