The thing is look at Chavez' friends, Assad, Lukashenko, Castro, Gaddafi, Ahmadineyad, etc, is that where we are going? Do we want to be like their countries?

Why do we bite the hand that feeds? Colombia and Chile who are very pro-US are doing quite well, at least much better than us.

I wasn't trying to be obtuse, your point is very clear. However when you're talking about a candidate that already has an established track record that shows he isn't just a rich guy out to reap the benefits of public office for himself and those closest to him, if you keep up mentioning the whole privileged upbringing thing it just makes you sound like you're harbouring some class resentment.

Bolivia Court Says Evo Morales Can Run a 3rd Time

Bolivia's constitutional court says President Evo Morales can run for a third term in elections set for December 2014.

The court says language in the country's 2009 constitution that allows for only a single re-election does not apply retroactively to Morales' first term.

Morales, who is Bolivia's first indigenous president, first won election in December 2005 — before the new constitution was enacted. He then was re-elected in a landslide in 2009.

Opposition politicians say Monday's ruling is evidence that Bolivia's courts are under Morales' sway.





Bolivia's Evo Morales Gives USAID the Boot in May Day Speech

Bolivian President Evo Morales celebrated May Day, an annual holiday for socialists, by decreeing that USAID would be expelled from the country.

Morales, a close ally of late Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, said during a Wednesday rally in La Paz that there is "no lack of U.S. institutions which continue to conspire against our people and especially the national government, which is why we're going to take the opportunity to announce on this May Day that we've decided to expel USAID," the BBC reports.

According to the release, USAID has spent around $2 billion in Bolivia since 1964. The budget for fiscal year 2011 was $26.7 million, which is down from the $52.1 million budget in fiscal year 2010.

"The United States government has worked in a dedicated fashion over the past five years to establish a relationship based on mutual respect, dialogue, and cooperation with the Bolivian government," USAID said. "This action is further demonstration that the Bolivian government is not interested in that vision."

In his May Day speech Morales said of USAID, "They will surely think that they can still politically and economically manipulate us here in Bolivia, but these times are over," according to a Bloomberg report citing Bolivian state news agency ABI.

Morales took office in 2006 and on May 1 of that year nationalized the country's natural gas industry. In 2008 Moralesexpelled the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration. The DEA had been working to crack down on the harvesting of coca, which is used to make cocaine. Coca leaves are also traditionally chewed by Bolivians. During the 2008 controversy USAID was criticized by locals for the anti-coca slant of its assistance programs.

USAID is anti-coca

It's pitiful when Western leftists looking for any kind of validation for their dead 20th century ideals look up to Chavez, Kirchner etc as great examples of the success of socialist policies or something. Even worse when they write off expats when they, like, actually have lived experience in the aforementioned Latin hellholes unlike the fragile 1st world college commie who blushes when someone points out the dire statistics of the Latin 'socialist' countries. The quality of life of the average Latin American in those countries is actually diminishing, just like real wages. All the while the state propaganda just spouts slogans, and the leaders live in luxury.

Today sometimes it's difficult to even find like common goods in stores. Something that one day costs you $5 costs you like $8 the next month, then $15. That is an horribly high annual inflation rate. Public services are trash, and in like Bolivia they barely exist. Their policies are anti-middle class, which actually make the rich richer and the poor even poorer as anyone who isn't a brainless Marxist child knows, and their clueless handout policies to 'help' the lower classes - get this - don't at all.

If anything the Latin American left is the final embarrassing nail in the coffin of leftism.

Cheers.

The percentage of people living in extreme poverty was 29.8% in 2003 and decreased to 12.5% in 2006, the year Venezuela officially met the first target of this goal. The percentage of those living in extreme poverty continued declining and in 2011 was 6.8%. The overall poverty index was 49% in 1998 and lowered to 24.2% in 2009. In terms of unemployment, Venezuela has been able to lower the rate to 7.5% in 2009 in spite of the global financial crisis.

It's really a discredit to your cause that you have to support Hugo Chavez (biggest trot of all time). I guess Juche ethnonationalism isn't enough for your liberal value system.

Nothing would make you more uncomfortable than an actual Salafist coming onto this forum quoting Sura 4:34 and taking you to task about supporting the USSR. You're lucky that publicly advocating jihad over the internet gets people arrested and the US government is protecting this site from being trolled effectively.
