Show notes

Episode 16 | What was actually “Bolivarian” about Hugo Chávez’s revolution?

This episode examines the Liberator Chávez worshipped, the historical Bolívar hidden beneath Venezuela’s national mythology, and the political ideas the two men truly shared. Bolívar was no socialist—but he may have had much more in common with Chávez than either man's admirers understood.
