Arguing about Venezuela

I helped put together this account of events in Venezuela for the bulletin of the International Woman's Day Committee. It's meant as basic educational prop for Kiwis who have been starved of news about the country.
If you're wondering whether we need to know about events in Venezuela, have a look at some of the comments this article at Spanblather has occasioned.

Ed Rooksby has written this much more ambitious, much more theoretical account of the Venezuelan revolution (scroll down to Tuesday, March 15 to find it) - unfortunately, I disagree with him. Aren't comments boxes wonderful?
