US, EU, Latin America: A Trio Playing Different Tunes
MOSCOW -- Anyone thinking that the break-up of the Soviet Union will bury Marxism has clearly been wrong. The left forces, though differing in color and spiced by nationalism, are rapidly rising in Latin America. Venezuela, Brazil, Bolivia and Argentina, let alone Cuba, are taking on different hues of red.
A new brand of socialism has appeared in Latin America fuelled by transnational corporations, unfair distribution of the local national wealth, and Washington's short-sighted diktat. There is a substantial degree of bitter truth in the current criticism of Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez and Bolivian leader Evo Morales. Latin Americans are sick and tired of injustice, poverty and underdevelopment bred by the inefficient local political elite, and the highly effective plunder of local resources by foreigners.
