More quotes by Hugo Chavez

Hugo Chavez
What would happen if we financed somebody in the U.S. to destabilize the government of George W. Bush? They would go to prison, certainly.

Racism is very characteristic of imperialism and capitalism. Hate against me has a lot to do with racism. Because of my big mouth and curly hair. And I'm so proud to have this mouth and this hair, because it is African.
Hugo Chavez
The imperialist, genocidal, fascist attitude of the U.S. president has no limits. I think Hitler would be like a suckling baby next to George W. Bush.
Hugo Chavez

We have to re-invent socialism. It can't be the kind of socialism that we saw in the Soviet Union, but it will emerge as we develop new systems that are built on cooperation, not competition.
Hugo Chavez
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
It doesn't smell of sulphur any more. No, it smells of something else. It smells of hope, and you have to have hope in your heart.
Hugo Chavez
The ones who close the path for peacefull revolution, at the same time open the path for violent revolution.
