“The Politics of Hugo Chavez and the Bolivian Revolution” Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez assumed office as President of the Republic of Venezuela on February 2, 1999. Chavez had been elected the previous year running on a platform of "new" ideas he termed Bolivarianism. As leader of the so-called Bolivarian Revolution; Chavez cast himself as the heir to the legacy of famed South American liberator and patriot, Simon Bolivar. The root idealogy of Bolivarianism depends on a decidedly Marxist interpretation of some of the actions and views of Simon Bolivar during and immediately following his participation in the South American Wars of Independence, at least according to Chavez. The use of the aristocratic Bolivar as a socialist warrior in the class struggle is peculiar when considering Marx's own writings on Bolivar, whom he dismissed as a false liberator who merely sought to preserve the power of the old Creole nobility to which he belonged.
