The October-November issue of Revolutionary Venemgela (referred to elsewhere in this issue) gives a summary of the programme of. the Venezuclan National Liberation Front. The section on the content of the revolution is of special interests

“Je find it necessary to reaffirm that the popular and democratic government that will emerge after our victory will not be a government carrying out a communist programme, for the simple reason that the historical moment is not demanding a socialist transformation of our society; our task is to carry out a series of measures of a popular and democratic type which would open the way for our national liberation.

"However, we do not want to conceal the fact that if the develop~ ment of our revolutionary process points towards socialism, we would “not be afraid to take up the challenge, and we will certainly lead the country towards that path, We consider such historical development inevitable and if we do not want to betray the revolution we must go forward with our people,

he F.L.N,. is not a communist organsiation,.ee. but we want to make it clear, in a categorical way, that in the F.L.N. are present all the progressive forces of our society, communist or not, marxists.. and democrats of all parties." oe
