Venezuela: Chávez's goal "2-to-1 victory"

[struggle4progress]

In a two-hour speech before a massive rally in downtown Caracas, Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez announced Sunday that he was taking personal charge of the campaign leading to an August referendum on his mandate.

Describing the opposition as a ''devil'' with ''foreign masters,'' Chávez said what awaited them was, ``the most resounding defeat they have ever suffered in the whole of their history.''
<snip>
But Chávez also warned against underestimating ''the enemy,'' and called for five- or 10-person ''groups, or commandos'' to be formed in every town and barrio to ensure the registration of all pro-Chávez voters.

Ron and the other radicals may also have been gratified to hear Chávez take up -- verbally at least -- one of their rallying cries. ''We must strengthen the organization from below,'' the president said. ``Let the popular organization grow from the base, from below, from the roots.''
