"The sociopolitical ideology founded by former Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez is rooted in anti-imperialism. For decades, the idea of a political alliance between Venezuela and the United States has seemed impossible with Caracas defining itself by Chavismo, a left-wing populist ideology rooted in anti-imperialism and confronting Washington's policies. But after US President Donald Trump ordered the abduction of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro on Saturday, followed by US insistence that Caracas's interim government must take orders from Washington,"
"Chavismo is named after its founder, Hugo Chavez, Venezuela's late, outspoken socialist politician and leader. It is based on his policies and reforms when he served as president from 1999 until his death in 2013. Inspired by the ideologies of Venezuelan military officer Simon Bolivar, who fought for the independence of Latin American states from Spanish colonialism in the mid-1800s, Chavez introduced many social reforms that he believed would reduce poverty and bring about equality in the country."
Chavismo is a sociopolitical ideology named for Hugo Chavez and rooted in Bolivarian socialism and anti-imperialism. It is based on Chavez's policies and reforms enacted during his presidency from 1999 until his death in 2013. The ideology drew on Simon Bolivar's legacy and prioritized social welfare programmes, nationalising industries, and policies aimed at reducing poverty and promoting equality. Chavismo positioned Venezuela in opposition to perceived imperialist policies from countries like the United States and emphasized sovereignty over foreign influence. Recent US actions, including an alleged abduction order for President Nicolas Maduro and demands on Caracas's interim government, have prompted debate over Chavismo's future trajectory.
