On May 25, 2007, the Supreme Leader of the Bolivarian Revolution, Commander Hugo Chávez, warned of the resistance of the elites and the bourgeoisie of Latin America to lose their hegemony “by all possible means”. “What happened here? That we... well is the Venezuelan path, the path of the Revolution, the Venezuelan revolutionary path, the one we are following.

We came to the government 8 years and several months ago, but we didn't come to power, we came to the government, to a part of the government; but you remember, the whole country was practically under the hegemony of those ruling classes that tried to buy me, in many ways they tried to buy me, the ruling classes here and some representatives of the world elite,” he said.

In reference to Antonio Gramsci's thesis, he stated that “they are losing hegemony and a new hegemony is emerging (...) a historic crisis,” says Gramsci, truly occurs when something is dying, but it doesn't end up dying. And at the same time, there is something that is being born and is not finished.”

“There is a historic crisis, here we are at the epicenter of a true historical crisis. An old hegemony, many centuries old, dies and a new hegemony is born. You, boys, are part of the new hegemony, the hegemony of the People, the hegemony of the Fatherland, the revolutionary hegemony, the hegemony of the workers, the hegemony of the workers, of the youth. The hegemony of the patriots, then,” he emphasized.
