For us Catholics, John Paul II will be remembered as a traveling Pope ... and we should also remember he preached world peace. When the United States invaded Iraq, for example, John Paul II said it was an illegal and immoral act.

I hereby accuse the North American empire of being the biggest menace to our planet.

Mutual respect! That's what it takes to be friends.

The grand destroyer of the world, and the greatest threat... is represented by U.S. imperialism.

Privatization is a neoliberal and imperialist plan. Health can't be privatized because it is a fundamental human right, nor can education, water, electricity and other public services. They can't be surrendered to private capital that denies the people from their rights.

Israel has gone mad. It's attacking, doing the same thing to the Palestinian and Lebanese people that they have criticised - and with reason - the Holocaust . But this is a new Holocaust.
Hugo Chavez
Image
I think the United States and the secretary of State should be concerned about the poverty in this country - people without health insurance. The United States should stop being the empire and be concerned about other countries. You've got to be more worried about your own people.
Hugo Chavez
Image
We must reduce all the emissions that are destroying the planet. However, that requires a change in lifestyle, a change in the economic model: We must go from capitalism to socialism.
Hugo Chavez
Image
When imperialism feels weak, it resorts to brute force.
Hugo Chavez
Image
The ones who close the path for peacefull revolution, at the same time open the path for violent revolution.

I do wish that the IMF and the World Bank would disappear soon.

What is the U.S. government looking for? And the elite governing this country? They're looking for oil.
Hugo Chavez
Image
An infernal machine that produces every minute an impressive amount of poor, 26 million poor in 10 years are 2.6 million per year of new poor, this is the road, well, the road to hell.

Long live the Unity of Latin America.
