Kindred Spirits
Hugo Chavez, Latin America’s under-study to Communist authoritarian rule, has made it clear that he and, “The Venezuelan people,” are the best of buddies with the mullahs of Iran. As an aside, he thinks their development of nuclear technology is just another expression of dictatorial state "justice."
Now, isn't all of this a big surprise? …A Socialist leader in solidarity with a Muslim tyranny -- two peas in a pod. While Chavez continues to toss stolen scraps to the poor as part of the usual “revolutionary” redistribution scheme, he will continue to develop his "People's Revolution," beef up his military, and seek to spread his socialist shoulder-chip. He's dying for confrontation with the U.S. and will certainly become an ever larger thorn in America's side.
Those who note the predictable chain of events unfolding in Venezuela will no doubt be met by Chomsky quotes "proving" that America isn't really a free country and, mysteriously, the countries ruled by dictators really aren't dictatorships.
The left and Islamo-fascism; a wedding made in hell (for those who will inevitably have to deal with it down the road).
Leftism, and admiration for the authoritarian-collectivist state – business as usual.
