lmao? What f*cking age are you? Jesus Christ.
@Thac, I've already stated that I don't agree with the nationalization of private Enterprize, except where it concerns national resources. I've already stated that I hope he is removed from power sooner rather than later and I've showed great concern in the past for the power granted to the role of President in Venezuela, less because of Chavez himself but because of what may come after. I'm not engaging in an idealogical debate, my post addressed three issues.
The use of the word 'evil'. It's a word which has no real meaning and is akin to the description of your enemy as a barbarian. It's use is lazy and those who use it to describe ANYONE are cretins.
The implication that the nationalization of private enterprize was dictatorial rather than simply idealogical.
That he isn't a dictator. I don't rule out that he may become one, I would say that there is in fact a great danger he will become one at some point, but as yet he is not.
