The guy who calls himself a democratic socialis? Am I not to believe what he says?I just defined it for you. Do you lack the ability to understand?Are you seriously so fucking stupid you don't know what socialism is?Who on the left is calling for the social ownership of the means of production? Abolishing capital if you will.Well, you're kinda dumb then.I don't see the left in America as being socialist either. Social democrats sure, but not socialist. They supported a neo-liberal presidential candidate for crying out loud.No this is also another cop out that's trying to be made by the left, with the election of trump, that chavez was a populist, more than a socialist, with trump being described as populist. Don't get me wrong I think trump is a socialist by nature. But so was Chavez and so is maduro.
And if Chavez was such a populist, then why didn't the socialist in America call him out for being just a populist? They had nothing but praise for him. Again, we have streets named after Chavez, we have movies with pretty big actors like micheal Pena glorifying Chavez. Would this have been done had the left only considered Chavez a populist?
Did Chavez do it? Or did he simply replace private capital for state capital? Thereby leaving the wage laborer in the same predicament.
