I don’t really describe them as Marxist, nor do I think Marxists generally do. I think Marxists support the Bolivarian revolution, but recognize it as its own thing.
but they do – or atleast the high placed ones like chavez and maduro said it was.
so it begs the question is it still chauvinist to project marxism onto a non-marxist movement when it’s people (or atleast a significant number of them) believe themselves to be part of a marxist movement?
i had the same thought about how we describe bolivarianism as marxism when it’s a contemporary to marxism.

Maduro and Chavez have brought Marxism to the movement from within, not having it imposed on them from without.
