Excellent comments on the current state of affairs, unmasking the once again fraudulent signature repair process of the Venezuelan "opposition". However, this is not the main issue, it is just the window-dressing, a single appearance form, of a national and international conspiracy against the Chávez Government, that has a  five year  golpista tradition already.

The national and international previous puntofijista masters of Venezuela, who have usurped economic, political and social power in Venezuela, for more than 40 years already, will not, and cannot stop their "democratic, coordinated" opposition  against the Bolivarian Government. They have mighty, wealthy and powerful allies, whom they serve, and on whom their very existence depends.

They never took "democracy" serious, they never acted democratically. Their "democracy" is pure ideology to keep the millions of poor workers and peasants docile, peaceful and loyal. In any case, Democracy, a direct product of the bourgeois-capitalist French and Industrial Revolutions, was invented to serve only ruling class interests.
It is true, what Colin Powell has stated not long ago: the USA and Venezuela have two completely different concepts of democracy. This is the reason why, according to Kerry, democracy in Venezuela is "at risk". Democracy, with all the "of, by and for the people", never ever was meant to serve the lower classes, the exploited and dominated poor people.

When a Government truly is doing something for the poor, in a real democratic spirit, then this is declared "tyranny" and "dictatorship". The Venezuelan case exemplifies what has happened across the centuries, with regard to democracy, justice and peace. Togliatti said it categorically, the problem is the system, that is, the labour system; how, why and for what billions produce. If this is not annihilated, any revolution will end up like the very first colonial revolution, the North American Revolution: in barbarism and fascism.

Hence, let us see within the next weeks, what really is Plan B, that needed a recall referendum mask, to engender a possible "civil war" and foreign intervention, not to mention the planned assassination of public figures. Over and over the "opposition" has stated that they will not accept any referendum results, that allow Chávez to remain in power. The reactionary forces are sowing the wind, the Bolivarian Revolution signals the storm. Whatever may happen, the Bolivarian Revolution is more powerful than ever, prepared for any golpista eventuality.
