Chavez calls on Obama to follow path of Socialism - and Obama is clearly following that path.

This is of course, extremely unfortunate - but that’s why we are here!

Still, look at the ravings of this lunatic. Socialism and communism are responsible for the murder of around a hundred million people in the 20th century. These forms of government HAVE to kill (I have an early blog post on this). How else can you own the means of production, keep down individual choice, and maintain the necessary central power? History proves my point.

It is not American capitalism that kills, nor the principles on which this country was founded. The true murderers are dictators who ignore the Constitution and work to spread tyranny.

Hugo Chavez is no exception - he is a dictator who has brought huge suffering to his people under the banner of “socialism” that “interprets the best of a people who also include human beings who suffer, endure, weep and laugh”.

From Drudge:

Caracas - Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez on Friday called upon US President Barack Obama to follow the path to socialism, which he termed as the “only” way out of the global recession. “Come with us, align yourself, come with us on the road to socialism. This is the only path. Imagine a socialist revolution in the United States,” Chavez told a group of workers in the southern Venezuelan state of Bolivar.

The controversial Venezuelan leader, who taunted the United States as a source of capitalistic evil under former president George W Bush, added that the United States needs a leader who can take it to a “higher” destiny and bring it out of “the sad role that it has been given, as a murderous, attacking power that is hated all around the world.”

Chavez said that people are calling Obama a “socialist” for the measures of state intervention he is taking to counter the crisis, so it would not be too far-fetched to suggest that he might join the project of “21st century socialism” that the Venezuelan leader is heading.

“Nothing is impossible. Who would have thought in the 1980s that the Soviet Union would disappear? No one,” he said.

“That murderous, genocidal empire has to end, and some day there has to come a leader … who interprets the best of a people who also include human beings who suffer, endure, weep and laugh,” the outspoken Chavez said.
