i'm honestly sick of white caucasians telling others that what made them rich...free markets, entrepenurial spirit, low regulation, privatization is 'not for Latin America'. That type of support further hinders an already ailing continent. Let history speak for itself, certain models do not work...Chavez is bent on destroying his country for the sake of anti-american and anticapitalism. Nice to know he's taking a few milions down with him. |
The capitalist class and the Bush regime have many reasons to hate Chavez.
For one, Chavez (unlike Bush) actually has popular support. Chavez has twice been elected, both in landslides, with massive voter turnout.
Chavez is on the record not only as supporting socialism - but with his stated intention being to curtail capitalism across Latin America and restore many elements of a centrally-planned socialist economy.
The 2002 US-backed attempted coup against Chavez failed. As did the recall referendum by the capatalist opposition groups, who were hell bent on restoring their previous ruling-class interests.
Ideologically, there are now powerful groups and republics emerging in Latin America and the third world, advocating the smashing of the IMF, World Bank, WTO and other failed, oppressive instruments of 20th century capitalism.
Bush's humiliation at the FTAA summit 3 weeks ago, is just one further sign of a US neoliberal capitalist policy that is both in crisis, and hated around the world. |
