RADICAL LAND REFORM IN VENEZUELA: A CONVERSATION WITH JUAN CARLOS LOYO (PART I)
The Land Law seeks to protect the weakest people in the agrarian structure: the campesino family and women in particular. That is why the law favors giving noscripts not to the “head of the family” but to whole families or to collectives.
Additionally, the Land Law bound the state to provide campesinos with the tools and equipment needed for farming. For a few years, implements, seeds, and even tractors were given to campesinos. The law bound the state to do so. All this was the outcome of a long struggle, and because of Chávez’s commitment to justice and raising production levels. It was made possible because the nation had gained control of its main resource: oil.

The “Caracazo” events pushed the Movimiento Bolivariano Revolucionario 200 (MBR-200) into action. It had been growing in the country’s military barracks since 1982 and it was not just a mere insurgency project. It was building the ideological base for a new country.
At the head of this movement was a rebellious soldier who on July 5, 1975, graduated as a second lieutenant of the armed forces while carrying a Che Guevara book under his arm.
After a decade of clandestine organizing, on February 1992, now Lieutenant Colonel Hugo Chávez, flanked by patriotic soldiers and supported by civilian leftist movements, launched the first civilian-military rebellion in Venezuela.

Geo Maher interviews former commune minister and writer Reinaldo Iturriza.
Geo Maher: The role of grassroots popular power – or what is often called constituent power – in Venezuela’s Bolivarian Revolution is generally misunderstood or ignored. How do you understand its place in recent Venezuelan history?
Reinaldo Iturriza: The process of popular subjectification represented by Chavismo remains under-analyzed. The emphasis is almost always placed on the figure of Chávez himself, while the unique historical conjuncture that made his leadership possible is relegated to the background, and in particular the influence of that popular subject without which Chávez would be inconceivable. Something similar happens with the Caracazo, the street-level rebellion of 1989 which many now see as the proximate origin of the Bolivarian process.

The Alexis Vive Patriotic Force was born in the working-class barrio 23 de Enero during the 2002 counter-coup. The organization, which considers itself both Guevarist and Leninist, aims to carry out Chávez’s project of building socialism through communes. To that end, in 2006 they formed the El Panal Commune, which produces both basic goods such as bread and clothing along with revolutionary culture.
This #interview with its main spokesperson, Robert Longa, sheds light on that communal project and the organization's vision of the future.

Venezuela’s oil production and exports have declined once more after a months-long steady rise.
The latest Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) report placed the Caribbean country’s January output at 668,000 barrels per day (bpd), a slide from the previous month’s 718,000 bpd, as measured by secondary sources. For its part, state oil company PDVSA documented 755,000 bpd, 116,000 bpd less than December.
The slip in oil output comes as PDVSA runs out of available storage due to mounting inventories of diluted crude oil (DCO), a less exportable grade due to its high sulfur and water content.
