Obviously you dont see the fact that this is a huge transaction between democracy and dictatorship????
Dictatorship by election?

Since when are term limits an indicator of dictatorship?

I have serious doubts about your comprehension of representative democracy and authoritarianism that are quickly approaching your lack of knowledge of socialism and communism.

Its a knee jerk reaction of typical oppression and brainwashing.

Chavez is clearly telling his people Obama is on board with communism and that the "Amero dollar" will surely fix all of his nations problems and his people bought right into it.

Every poor nation wants a part of America and they actually think they will get a piece.....Of course they wont but that doent really change the fact what these people actually believe. They think America will fall and they can rush in and raid this nation.

Of course not everyone is stupid enough to think that way but the communists/socialists/anarchists etc., view this as an opportunity, they know they can push their agenda with out war and thats dangerous.
It's not "every poor nation" that wants a piece of America, it's the nations where America went to and exploited the fuck out of, put their hand in the politics or a combination of both. Mexico, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Chile, Bolivia, there's many countries.

Things like NAFTA and CAFTA are going to have reactions and you better believe it...

Just look at how much power the Cartels have in Mexico, and it just so happens that Mexico has a revolution every hundred years. 1810, 1910, now 2010 is coming up, to go along with 2012 in a couple of years. Be ready...

in the united states you can only be president for 8 years, (2 terms). All chavez did was get a bill passed to eliminate the term limits, no dictatorship, still a democracy. If the people choose to vote for chavez again, thats the peoples choice.

Of course, I get into these debates all the time and the socialist/communist crowed pathologically denies the simple fact that what they support is actually communism or socialism because they are "bad words"

Of course you're going to use the logic that Chavez was actually elected so hence he really cant be a dictator by default.

And to claim Chavez isnt a socialist is downright insane. Maybe you dont know what socialism actually is.

[=quote] Chavez calls Venezuela vote mandate for socialism

By CHRISTOPHER TOOTHAKER – 2 days ago

CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) — President Hugo Chavez says a referendum victory that removed limits on his re-election is a mandate to intensify his socialist agenda for decades to come. Opponents warn of an impending dictatorship.[=/quote]

I wonder how many people will actually run against him? I got the feeling he will overwhelmingly win in elections until hes dead.

Of course I have the feeling that some will paint Chavez as this honest man that doesnt have a Socialist dictatorship agenda that could very well turn into full blow Communism with in 10 years.

Well I don't know any socialists or communists that think they are bad words. I myself think of them among the best. But that is why I hold them to such a standard.

Many people don't understand what either of those socio-economic political systems are. There are people on both the left and the right that do, YET they purposfully ignore it and modify the term to fit their own agenda.

Chavez himself being what he considers to be a socialist does not mean the country is socialist or the government is socialist. No matter how much he or you say it. Wishing does not make it real.

The U.S. senate has a socialist member. Is the senate socialist?

China has a government that is controled by a political party that calls itself communist. Yet, China is about as far from being communist as the U.S.

Term limits do not make a dictator.

Is Alvaro Uribe a dictator? What about Michael Bloomberg?

"In a referendum that directly determines to possibility of the continued governance of President Chávez, the "Yes" campaign won with 54.4% of the vote in a turnout of around 70%. Were Chávez truly a demagogue, and were there truly a strident personality cult, we would expect the results and turnout of such a referendum to differ dramatically to elections not directly concerned with Chávez the man. Yet November's regional elections saw a turnout of 65%, and as with the referendum, the popular vote was won by around 10%. The dramatic similarity of the two results, and their significantly different subjects suggests a common denominator, loyalty or opposition to the government's project as a whole, rather than to the man in particular. "

Communism = Rich government and poor people!

Look at the USSR, China and to some extent North Korea, all be it NK is more of a fascist government but I NK could apply to this argument.

Communism and Socialism has failed large countries, time and time again. China actually realizes this now and they are going semi-capitalist while retaining a fascist/communist social order.
