Blasphemy!
Venezuelans control of their own oil is a threat to democracy!
Of course we know the real reason Venezuela is scowled upon by the U.S.A. Hugo has disrespected the Family; he won't pay his dues to the Don. He insists on using oil profits for the benefit of his own country. To see what may happen to Venezuela in the near future, please refer to what happened to Guatemala when Arbenz tried to aid his countrymen with monetary benefits from the United Fruit Company, circa early 1950's....
I just thought it was funny that Negroponte threw together two words like "radical populism" and tried to pass that off as a scare tactic. I mean, he could've went with any derivative of Dictator to get the point across (not true either, but in his case it would've worked better).
this reminds me of a talk show I was listening to (I think on BBC) where this reporter was saying that Chavez's influence was outsized because he was 'buying' friends by spreading the wealth around.
I thought to myself..."um, self. Isn't that the FUCKING POINT OF SOCIALISM????"
meaning, to spread the wealth around, rather then just keep it for a few greedy bastards. And of course that was a BAD thing to this reporter/tool who didn't even understand what a fool she was.
The way that reads sounds as if you embrace socialism. Is that the case? Just wonderin is all, as I have never met anyone who did.
