And an iron curtain has descended for
pobre Venezuela. The comrades at
Morning Star The People's Daily,
can't contain their enthusiasm over solidarity with that tyranny;
Politicians, journalists and peace campaigners, along with the
Venezuelan and Argentinian ambassadors, praised the “inspirational”
example that the Bolivarian revolution is setting the world.
Hundreds cheered;
Speakers hailed the Latin American country’s achievements in poverty
reduction and improving literacy and healthcare. Cuba Solidarity
Campaign director Rob Miller noted the unshakeable friendship between
Caracas and Havana ....
Let's not forget the American contingent;
US campaigner Medea Benjamin of Code Pink slammed the ludicrous bid
by the United States to paint Venezuela as a human rights abuser. “This
from a country that guns down black citizens in the streets every single
day? That keeps the death penalty, which Venezuela abolished in 1863?”
she asked.
Wouldn't that be a little before the
Bolivarian revolution, Medea?
Morning Star editor Ben Chacko said Venezuela was an example of
putting the “real needs of real people above abstract and impersonal
‘market forces.’
Like the forces that, left unimpeded, would supply toilet paper and cooking oil to real people?
