Chávez The Radical XVII: “The Hour has Come to form the 5th International” (English version)
Hugo Chávez calls for the formation of the fifth international during a
speech before the First International Encounter of Leftist Parties in
2009. He stresses the necessity of grassroots leadership in the
construction of a new type of socialism informed by the experiences of
the Socialist Internationals, breaking down critically their historical
evolution and presenting a detailed balance of each experience to expose
their strengths, pitfalls, and deviations.
