Hugo Chavez's followers wax romantically about his Bolivarian Revolution. Unfortunately, for them, he isn't feeling romantic, or loyal or anything toward them. He's using their fervor to gain power and turn the Venezuelan government into a Marxist system. Soon their oil exports to the U.S. may wane. Chavistas Still Committed - While Chavez Accumulates Power

A supporter of Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez holds up a copy of the national constitution in Caracas, Venezuela, during a rally April 19, 2002. With much the same energy shown during Mao Tse Tung's "Cultural Revolution" of the 1960s, some Venezuelans still pursue a "Bolivarian Revolution" based on the beliefs of a 19th-century patriot as filtered through the mind of President Hugo Chavez. Its nationalist ideals offer militant Chavez followers an element of racial and class redemption in a country long dominated by a mostly white elite. But some say that since Chavez took office three years ago, the revolution has become less a matter of ideology than of power.(AP Photo/Douglas Engle) - Apr 24 9:50 PM ET
