While the Wikipedia article portraying the history of PCV seems to be reasonably accurate, there is at least one major factual error. It is not true that "Those in the PCV who did not support guerrilla tactics left the party in 1971 to form Movement toward Socialism (MAS)." The fact is that those who left the Party to form MAS were PRECISELY THOSE WHO SUPPORTED MORE VEHEMENTLY THE ARMED STRUGGLE IN THE EARLY 60s. Those members of the Central Committee such as TEODORO PETKOFF, who pressed for the Party´s decision to enter the armed struggle, were precisely the same people who later abandoned PCV after the defeat, leaving the Party severely damaged. This is a very touchy subject with Venezuelan Communists, since many in the Party remain suspicious of the ulterior motives of those who pushed PCV into the guerrilla war after 1961 only to defect both from the armed struggle and the Party itself a few years later. It has taken PCV over 30 years to recover from the damage done by those leaders who led the Party into its military defeat and then abandoned the organization.
