What, though, does Chávez mean by “21st Century Socialism”? After his initial announcement, at the January 2005 World Social Forum in Porto Alegre, Chávez often repeated the call, but did not provide much more details, other than a list of values upon which this new socialism would be based. These values can be characterized as involving the ideals of the French Revolution, of utopian socialism, and of Christianity. “We have assumed the commitment to direct the Bolivarian Revolution toward socialism and to contribute to the socialist path, with a new socialism, a socialism of the 21st century, which is based in solidarity, in fraternity, in love, in justice, in liberty, and in equality,” said Chávez in a speech in mid-2006. Also, this socialism is not pre-defined. Rather, said Chávez, we must “transform the mode of capital and move toward socialism, toward a new socialism that must be constructed every day.”88
