The end of Chavez? — 8 Comments

  1. The socialists always claim they can create heaven on earth and the people always fall for it. The socialists tell people that we can all live in luxury at the expense of somebody else, and people like that idea.

  2. I recall meeting Venezuelan immigrants, seeking refuge from Chavismo in 2000.

    They aren’t going back.

  3. Ir will take blood. Much blood. Blood of the Chavesmos.
    And after order has been restored, a year or two later, force of arms or economic wars between venezuela and its Bolivarian neighbors: Our oil price to YOU is 2x brent price.It’s payback time.

  4. I would suggest: be careful with making generalizations about the left. It’s not that simple.

    Of course, Chavez and Maduro belong to the classic left South American populism, which is poisonous. Sadly, I should say that this is exactly the path that US’s left is taking. But Lula was left too, and he has been the best president of Brasil. Next to Brasil, you have Paraguay, and there you have José Mujica, leftist too, who was president of Paraguay between 2010 and 2015, highly popular and famous for being a very natural person. Of course, he has basque origins, and that makes a difference. Here you have a recent interview with english subtitles.

    In general, leftists that started as blue collars in hard industries use to be honest politicians. That was the case with Lula (former metal worker) or Mujica (farmer). The problem is that most of left is what we call in spanish “revolucionarios de salé³n”. In english, revolutionaries of living room, meaning people who never worked hard.

  5. Go to youtube and find the clips of Maduro on Venezuela Contigo. It does not sound like he’s going to quietly admit defeat.

    Or, per Stalin, “How many divisions does the National Assembly have?”
