[QUOTE]Originally posted by JMT2: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Djehuti AKA lioness Really? So I'm 'right wing' for calling out the fact that Chavez was a dictator. I take it calling Castro, Hitler, Stalin, and Mao dictators as well is a 'right-wing' thing. And if denying that these men are dictators is left wing, then I'd rather be 'right'. Since I guess YOU are so left wing. Really? So apparently you don't know that socialism doesn't work as it NEVER works not even in Venezuela. Because of Chavez's government controls poverty is worse in Venezuela because their currency devalued. People have to spend [i]more[/i] money on necessities than ever before. Sure the rich got poorer but the poor [i]stayed[/i] poor. That's what [i]always[/i] happens in a socialist nation. Because of his socialist programs despite the 'free' education and healthcare, most of the countries best educators and doctors either fled the country or stopped practicing because it wasn't worth it anymore. And back in 2002 when Chavez cut down on oil production he drove oil prices even higher and ended up importing oil from his ally (fellow dictatorship nation) Iran. And all the while the ONLY people in his country who were prosperous were himself and his government cronies oligarchies in the [i]truest[/i] sense. Yeah many politicians here in the U.S. are rich as most folks who [i]choose[/i] get into politics are rich idiots that does not mean the U.S. has no democracy. At least in the U.S. the poor have the opportunities to not be poor anymore. Unlike in socialist countries. [/QUOTE]Here you are submitting to a forum on a daily basis using multiple aliases discussing topics related to Africa and it’s people knowing damn well the basic structure of ancient African civilizations and villages was COMMUNAL, and the logical extension of communalism towards a larger societal structure is SOCIALISM. Chavez was democratically elected. Unless you sat on the International Election-Monitoring Committee in Venezuela, your opinion is bullshiit. If you can’t tell the truth, or ignorant of the truth, it’s better to be thought of as a fool then to open your mouth and remove all doubt. SMDH. Chavez didn’t cut down oil production in 2002. You’re lying again, Lioness ... I meant Djehuti. The decline in oil production was caused by the opposition oil strike. Let’s discuss sustainability in Venezuela. I have debates with people like you all the time who have been predicting economic collapse -- and that the current the Socialist system is unsustainable. Well, my adversaries has been predicting collapse for the past fourteen years, nor do they dispute any of the real stats with factual numbers. An unsustainable debt is what the US had in 2006 with a eight trillion dollar housing bubble. Any forthright person with integrity who analyzed the economy knew it was going to burst like your premise and cause a major recession. Venezuela doesn’t have those types of imbalances. What Venezuela does have is inflation which is higher than their trading partners which appreciates the real exchange rates. And that’s why Venezuela has a devaluation, not for the reasons you stated. Capitalism is nothing but a ponzi scheme. Ponzis are illegal in most states. And what you think is "capitalism" is really an evolution of Adam Smith's classical liberal pre-industrial commercial marketism -- which the dude never called “capitalism". What you bend over for today is corporate consumerism, or what we on the left would refer as monopoly post-industrial capitalism. Socialism would prosper on it’s own if not for the constant disruption and deliberate undermining disposition of the neo-liberal cartels of the West, the IMF and the World Bank. You already know that there are no truly functioning Socialist countries other than Venezuela where the country itself isn't under full scale attack from capitalist assault or embargo. The most economically successful (in terms of wealth distribution and economic stability) countries in the world right now are market Socialist and Social Democrat countries such as Germany. So yeah, I’m against capitalism because I'm a strong believer in real democracy. Having worked in the private and public sector, I see private sector capitalism inherently undemocratic. I believe in black people taking back control of their communities, their lands and resources -- through direct democracy, federalism, and direct worker/consumer ownership of the economy and society. This will never be achieved under post-industrial capitalism. [/QB][/QUOTE]
