The development of the major political parties, such as AD, COPEI, and the URD with their cross-cutting, personalist ic constituencies and their impressive acceptance of friendly rivalry, is a reflection of the fact that there is an absence of politically salient and relevant natural division in Venezuela.
As the first party to be organized on a national scale, the lifetime of AD can be understood as an indicator of the general situation of politics and electoral competition in the country.
A recently founded party, PPT won two percent of the seats in congress in the 1998 elections, but little is known about their orientation, goals, and future prospects.
One branch of this party, commonly known as the Bolsheviks and headed by Vladimir Lenin, succeeded in overthrowing the Tsar 's regime in the 1917 Russian Revolution.
Following Lenin's democratic centralism, the Communistparties were organized on a hierarchical basis, with active cells of members as the broad base; they were made up only of elite cadres approved by higher members of the party as being reliable and completely subject to party dicipline.
Despite the actvity of the Comintern, the Soviet CommunistParty adopted the Stalinist theory of " socialism in one country " and claimed that, due to the " aggravation of class struggle under socialism," it was possible, even necessary, to build socialism in one country alone.
