50 Truths about Hugo Chavez and the Bolivarian Revolution

One thing you can be sure of about 99% of the time...if the USA mass media are in the habit of reviling, demonizing, and ridiculing any Latin American leader, it is because he is helping the poor people in his country...and frustrating the efforts of the American big business community and the international bankers to exploit his country for their own profit and keep the poor people down in wretched poverty, without education, without medical care, and without hope.

If so....then he's a deadly enemy of American big business and multinational corporations, and you can expect a CIA-sponsored coup or an invasion at some point to bring his government down. (Such a coup was attempted once on Chavez, but the attempt failed.)

Fortunately for Latin Americans, the USA has been so disastrously embroiled in the Middle East for the last couple of decades that progressive movements in Latin America have managed to make much headway recently. The great Anglo-American Empire simply doesn't have the financial or military resources to completely dominate politics everywhere all at the same time, though it would certainly like to. Empires fail when their reach finally exceeds their grasp.
