I have not heard a western leader that has run on an anti-poverty ticket in a while, is that exploitation? Is that criminal?

The CIA, IMF, and the World Bank have ruined it for any US/S. American diplomacy. We plotted a coup attempt on him, it succeded for only 30 days. You're absolutely correct. Why should he blame the US for anything?

| just because he says he is for the poor doesn't mean a thing. Every politician says they are for the poor. Besides, Mao Zedong was extremely vocally in favor of the poor, and look how that turned out. Communism, in any form, is absolutely ass backwards. Communism creates dysgenics because it assures welfare no matter how minimal an individual citizens out put is. |

And just because YOU say he isn't for the poor does not make THAT true. I guess you'll be trying to convince us that Chavez's loans to other poor S American countries should show us what a rogue he is compared to the altruistic IMF? I guess you'll tell us that Venezuela's 21% increase in oil production last year is because of Chavez's ineptness? Or that Venezuela's monetary reserves of $34 billion is again because of Chavez's profligate socialist ways?
Why on earth would a small country like Venezuela take up so much of your interest mate? Are you Venezuelan? Do you work for the IMF??
Just to keep you on track mate, Chavez is not, has not and will not be a member of the Communist Party. |

Stealing almost all of the private industry and making it government run isn't communist? Explain that. And a $34 billion reserve? That is a joke by anyone's measure. |

It is our own fault that we are no longer welcome in the region. Sure there are some countries that still deal with us there, but I believe that support is waning. You only have the CIA, World Bank, and the Corporatocracy to blame for this unfortunate turn of events. There was a time when we were great friends. That time has past...We pimped them out, overstayed our welcome and supported and trained them in regards to the latest torture techniques and death squads. Of course, the final result is: Nationalize everything. Do you smell sulphur in here?
Viva La Chavez! |

I'm afraid you will have to give us the examples of, "Stealing almost all of the private industry and making it government run ". In regard to the $34 billion reserve, try looking it up instead of making inane comments. |

Communist governments aren't just ones you disagree with, theres these whole bunch of stipulations about what makes a society communist. |

| Don't get too excited yet. That was part of his platform; the degree to which he accomplishes it is yet to be seen. He's only been in office for a matter of months. |
