Hugo Chavez’s economic miracle

Hugo Chavez proves you can lead a progressive, popular government that says no to neo-liberalism

If much of the Western media is to believed, I write this column from a country brutalised by an absurd tinpot caudillo, Hugo Chavez, who routinely jails any journalist or politician with the temerity to speak out against his tyranny.

According to Toby Young, Venezuela is ruled by a “Marxist tyrant” and a “Communist dictator”. Chavez’s defeated opponent in Sunday’s presidential elections, Henrique Capriles, was portrayed by contrast as an inspiring, dynamic democrat determined to end Venezuela’s failed socialist experiment and open the country to much-needed foreign investment.

The reality of Venezuela could not be more distant from the coverage, but the damage is done: even many on the left regard Chavez as beyond the pale. Those who challenge the narrative are dismissed as “useful idiots”, following in the footsteps of the likes of Beatrice and Sidney Webb who, in the 1930s, lauded Stalin’s Russia, oblivious to the real horrors.

Well we haven't decided yet. There's dozens of factors involved. We keep to ourselves anyway so as long as I stay away from the crazies I think I'll be just fine lol

You need to research this.  According to Shankar Singam, all Californians think alike, so if you move there you may have to sign a document pledging allegiance to the MDL!

I just hope if you move there that you utilize that ICE phone number often to report illegals.

 

Gotta do one's diligence of cleaning up the mess the left make. They're hard at work collecting food stamps and making babies they can't afford.
