CARDOZO-UZCATEGUI, Alejandro. From popular empowerment to criminal governance: discourse and praxis in Venezuela (1999-2022). Rev. Cient. Gen. José María Córdova [online]. 2022, vol.20, n.40, pp.870-890. Epub 01-Out-2022. ISSN 1900-6586. https://doi.org/10.21830/19006586.1014.
This article analyzes popular empowerment and its Latin American understanding of the concept. Based on a casuistic and discursive analysis of Hugo Chávez and Chavismo, it examines the epistemological and empirical errors in the use of this concept since the dawn of the Bolivarian or Chavista revolution to understand how the transition towards a model of participatory democracy and, therefore, of popular empowerment results in criminal governance. This result derives from the classist nature of Chavez’s discourse, in which the bourgeois condition of middle and upper sectors of Venezuelan society is criminalized.
