No less controversial in Venezuelan historiography is and has been a historical event such as the fall of the dictatorship of General Marcos Pérez Jiménez: Different impressions by political and intellectual actors reflect emotions ranging from the achievement of an illusion to the disappointment of results not in accordance with a political project of actors related to leftist and Marxist thought, Lack of a strategy in accordance with the reality of that historical moment, lack of a vocation for power, lack of a post-dictatorial tactic that would implement the real bases for the development of a popular power, lack of a proletarian class criteria, lack of a proletarian class criterion? Although the characterization of the event is in the air (civic-military insurrection or coup d’etat), there is agreement that it is foolish to bring before the court of history a political grouping, the PCV, to be blamed for the failure of a 'revolution' that was never proposed, being the establishment of the liberal democratic state the major objective of all social and political forces.
