“All you socialists must be so proud as this insane dictator, who has ruined the country's economy and pushed thousands of the country's best and brightest to leave, will continue to destroy his country. There is no freedom in Venezuela.”

“We Latin American socialist are proud of him as he is leading the movement. He hasn't ruin anything before he was in power Venezuela didn't have an economy, now at least they have one for you to say it is bad. There is more freedom in Venezuela than you think since there is a 24-hour network spreading lies and shit about him. If he was such a dictator he would have gotten rid of the network a long time ago. The countries "brightest" where exactly the same people who bankrupted the country and had the country in ruins until Chavez took back their oil. Get over yourself and look at the facts.”

“The people of Venezuela voted for this. It was a democratic vote.

What can I say, the majority of people like the guy. That's how democracy goes.”

“Hmmm, only socialists know how to ruin economies? What freedoms are lacking in Venezuela- other the the freedom of Venezuelan corporate media to promote an overthrow of the elected government?”

procopios replied on Feb 16, 2009 at 01:51:56

“Who stands to lose most when Chavez takes Venezuela into a dark age in the name of Socialism, enriching and glorifying himself and cronies? It's the left. Using democracy to outlaw democracy is an old trick. Government control of the means of production by a strongman has the same end result as a capitalist monopoly. Working people will lose control of their own labor with all the rest of their rights. Launch all the cheap shots you want, but the ones cheering this move on the left are just the reflexive nincompoops who sell out their own values to get a quick one over against the other side, just like the torture cheerleaders on the right.”
