re: #62 Gus

Because Dkos has shown much support for Chavez over the years. He’s a regular feature in their AntiCapitalist Roundups (or whatever they’re called).
Here’s a Chavista on that very diary….

President Carter (4+ / 0-)

Jimmy Carter, somebody we all respect, had this to say about the electoral process in Venezuela.“As a matter of fact, of the 92 elections that we’ve monitored, I would say the election process in Venezuela is the best in the world.”

As a student of history of Latin America, this is a huge day for the global south. We have a neoliberal who wants to turn the county backwards from cutting poverty and hand the country back in the hands of the powerful. Chavez is far from perfect, but he fights with the poor on his mind. He is not a dictator as they have fair elections and has been popular with the people of Venezuela.

He has even survived a U.S CIA backed coup attempt. Liberals and socialists around the world who stand on the side of the lower class should stand against the neoliberal neocons in Venezuela and around the world.
