The short answer is that the opposition is losing reactionary workers. The working class in Venezuela seems evenly divided into three camps. Working class revolutionaries, working class liberals, and working class reactionaries. The revolutionaries of the working class and the proletarian liberals seem to be coming closer together organizationally and ideologically despite friction and differences that exist among the leaders of these two sectors of the proletariat.

The working class reactionaries find themselves increasingly isolated and discredited within their class.

The bourgeoisie seems to have preserved its unity " except for small element sometimes referred to as the "patriotic bourgeoisie." Firmly attached to the rear of the bourgeoisie is a tail in which the middle class and working class reactionaries constitute two large sections.

IVAD, AP, and other polls show that the electorate and people tighten their ranks and recoil in contempt from these counter-revolutionaries: namely, imperialists, the Venezuelan bourgeoisie, and working class reactionaries.
