Capitalism is the way of the devil and exploitation. If you really want to look at things through the eyes of Jesus Christ -- who I think was the first socialist -- only socialism can really create a genuine society.
Hugo Chavez
Image
I do wish that the IMF and the World Bank would disappear soon.
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.

Don’t let yourselves be poisoned by those wandering Jews.

We're not perfect, but we do have democracy.
Hugo Chavez

What they have implanted here, which is really a 'gringo' custom, is terrorism. They disguise children as witches and wizards, that is contrary to our culture.
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

When imperialism feels weak, it resorts to brute force.
Hugo Chavez
Image
I shook Obama's hand and I said, 'I want to be your friend.' My hand is still outstretched. I am not Obama's enemy, but it's difficult not see imperialism in Washington. Those who don't see it don't want to see it, like the ostrich.

The United States is like Count Dracula who at six o'clock in the morning has not sucked [any necks].
Hugo Chavez
Image
The ones who close the path for peacefull revolution, at the same time open the path for violent revolution.

Let's save the human race, let's finish off the U.S. empire.

It makes one sad to see the sell-out of President Fox, really it makes one sad. How sad that the president of a people like the Mexicans lets himself become the puppy dog of the empire.
