If this doesn't scream dictator I don't know what does?

Question

http://www.usatoday.com/news/world/2007-01-10-chavez-venezuela_x.htm?csp=34

how would you fell if you where under a dictator like chavez? I bet I am smarter than you and you are an idiot if you believe and easy controlled if you think all American's are stupid or is that your racist commit of the day.

Answer 1

The excuse will be that he was elected into office and was the choice of the people. How many of his people realized that when they put that Socialist into office, they'd be heading towards a fascist state? I'll betcha that none of them did.

At least here in the U.S., many of us are bright enough to realize who the fascists are and will vote with our brains and not by being dazzled with empty promises. :) Another failure, under the guise of Socialism.

Answer 2

It is so sad to see Americans parrot this right-wing name-calling of Chavez BECAUSE it doesn't even make any sense.

Dictators don't ask for the term limits to be removed so they can run again. Dictators don't ask for anything.

In Venezeula, a small minority of the people have been stealing the wealth of the country and leaving the majority of the people to live in squalor, with few opportunities. But, DEMOCRACY - you know, where all the people get to be heard at the voting booth - has produced a mandate for Chavez to redistribute the wealth in a fair way.

That's not a dictatorship.

Can't you please learn to think? After all, it's the unthinking Americans who have delivered our great country into a near dictatorship.

Answer 3

You've got to be kidding. Are you mad because Chavez is going to beat the USA as the biggest socialism in history?
Because USA is the winner now.
Take a look around and read about it. USA is the biggest and most powerful socialism since the Nazi regime, war included.
Of course Chavez is wrong, so it's Bush and all the others socialist politicians around the world.

Answer 4

I agree with your assessment.
There is little doubt that Chavez is on a path to a Castroesque future for Venezuela. Only a natural death threatens Castro.

However, what is the lesson here? Who is to blame?
How can he do this with impunity?
International neglect would be my answer.

As long as the oil interests were doing 'business as usual' in Venezuela, no one cared and a pocket of festering communism developed.

It has long been a concern of the international community that term limits in Mexico are at the crux of corruption. The president is a single 6 year term and some of the cabinet ministries are even less. No statesman has a chance to create a continuim of policies that can truly govern. Venexuela was no exception.
Chavez has successfully pointed to this practice as a source of inequality in his country and enough Venezuelans agree.

As the international community continues to turn a blind eye to this problem, you can expect to see more South American countries fall.

Good examples are Ecuador, Colombia, Bolivia and Brazil. They have followed Chavez' lead and nationalized companies and banks.
Interestingly, most of them have followed that practice with aid and increased relations with countries like Iran and North Korea. There is mounting evidence that terror groups have been invited to some of these countries for financial and logistical support not the least of which is Al Queda.
Why would groups such as these want to learn tactics in that region as opposed to the desert?

All the links below deal with that issue. Enjoy

Answer 5

Give Chavez a chance. There are such rulers, very rare, but whom are "benevolent dictators" - and he's done far more for more people than any neoliberal capitalists have. If he screws up, he'll be taken down - don't worry about that, dude.

Ask Argentinians about their latest 30-year experience with "neoliberal Capitalism". Chavez is doing well by avoiding what Argentina sunk into. Let him go do what his experiment is all about. He may be a "bocazon" (I don't even like that characteristic of his) but he's doing progressive work there and doesn't want to give the go-d-d-amned Capitalists the opportunity to vote him out nor destroy, murder, rape, bomb, extort, bribe, attack and otherwise use violence, as are their usual tactics.

Historically, (Listen Up, now) Capitalists do not favor Democracies. They have learned to live with and to manipulate the Western "democracies" quite well, but by far prefer dictators and oligarchies to democracy...but you probably know that by now if you're over 25.

Answer 6

What this?

"Referring to critics' claims the action showed he was a tyrant or doing the bidding of Castro, Chavez said, "The important thing is that the people will make the decision, because nothing can be done without that here.""


Yeah I guess your right, he should of said "No matter what my people want, I will listen to the lobbyists who fund my campaign! That is what being a president, and not an Evil 'Listen to the People' dictator, is all about!"

Answer 7

I know neo cons doesn't like when the gov is for the people and not the corporations but who cares what thumb sucking neo cons think anymore anyway? There fear of everything especially education has made them a dying breed.

Answer 8

He was ELECTED. The conditions in Venezuela are not the same as here. People voted him in, fully aware of his socialist projects. What happens under the Venezuelan government is NONE OF OUR BUSINESS. When are we going to learn that?

Answer 9

But

Jimmy Carter says the elections were "fair"! How can it be that "huggable Hugo" is a dictator?

Answer 10

Whats your problem with that? It is Venezuela, not the US. Why do you want the world to run on your terms, stupid Americans?

EDIT- Your not living under a dictator? Then what do you call George Bush? JESUS? As for the racist trash, how can truth be classified as racism? You have successfully proved yourself foolish. Cheers :-)
