Nevertheless, Chávez has challenged the great ebb and flow of international finance capital and petro-dollars. If Chávez were president of Kazakhstan, he could play Robin Hood with his nation’s oil money without incurring the fanatic wrath of the White House. Venezuela is a different matter altogether. Chávez is, correctly, seen as a class warrior, a crafty opponent of what George Bush calls “the impressive crowd, the Haves and the Have-Mores.” Chávez wanted me to film him under the larger-than-life oil painting of Latin America’s “Great Liberator,” Simon Bolívar. Chavez sees himself as Bolívar, taking his class war beyond his borders, from Argentina to the Bronx, tilting the flat world back to level.

Can he? The difference between a grandiose nut and a grand visionary is the economic power to impose the vision. What makes Chávez’s declaration of worldwide class war credible can be understood by returning to Hubbert’s Peak.
