.....According to Chavez, the Bolivarian movement has been "liberating" the state, including the judiciary, the legislature, the state-owned enterprises, from the control of this hegemonic "bourgeois civil society." 

Now this civil society is using its last remaining resources to fight for power, the Church, the mass media, and the universities. "From there is the importance of understanding the layout of the battle," said Chavez. 

************* 

Thank you Charles for this vitally important post, which deserves and needs close study.  Chavez turns the tables on Soros-type exploitation of the concept of civil society by returning to Marx's original meaning, with its class analysis.  It is a masterly response to Venezuelan's situation, in which US attempts at destabilisation through financial support for colour (counter)-revolution-style "civil society" are obviously ongoing, and the "tyrannical, totalitarian" state they are trying to overthrow is one which is beginning to take the steps to empower the people to liberate themselves from the "civil society" (in Marx's sense) of the oligarchy, dominated by the US. 
Comradely, 
James
