The beginnings of CRV as an organization date back to the years 1985–1991 in a form of various organized student protests, especially in different high schools in La Pastora Parish, Caracas. It maintained a critical role of organizing protests during and after the events of Caracazo, a civil unrest that started on 27 February 1989. Some of the members of CVR have participated in the Venezuelan 1992 coup attempt and November 1992 coup attempt started by Revolutionary Bolivarian Movement-200 led by Hugo Chávez.

In January 1993, it was established as a social organization with the aim of creating a space for the articulation, discussion and implementation of socialism in Venezuela.
