``` What does this have to do with the looney Castro wannabe in Venezula?```
My reply was in answer to post # 36 that attempted to show that she was strictly a market capitalist.
Better a Castro wannabe than a Bush wannabe, don'tcha think?
Globalization ... ``` It does not mean that there can be no social programs, public education system, etc. ```
And that is the direction Bachelet is taking Chile.
```So he probably has it in his subconscious that more for the top means more trickle down to reach the poor.```
The phony 'trickle down' theory did not work during the 12 years of Reaganomics from 1980-1992. It still has not worked and never will because it is nothing more than a figment dreamed up in the crazed minds of right wing extremists whose wicked imaginations seek a plutocratic utopia.
```Chavez is simply a power-hungry nutcase no different than most despots and wingnut dictators like Abdullah of Saudi Arabia, al-Bashir of Sudan, Mugabe of Zimbabwe, or Khomeini in Iran.```
Chavez was democratically elected and his policies reflect majority views in his country.
The same cannot be said for Bush.
``` The US better keep the hell out of Venezuela. Venezuela has full right to go its own way and let's hope the US government will avoid being the immature prick it can be in terms of foreign policy. Time for the bully to grow up. ```
And it's time for the international community to remember that appeasement never worked to stop Hitler. In the event of CIA subversion in Venezuela, something better be done to stop Bush's aggression there or there will be more trouble in Iran, North Korea, and elsewhere.
