Noam Chomsky has a book, which I read for the first time when I was in Spain, called 'Fear of Democracy'. There is your answer. Fear of democracy. In Honduras, they had a sham democracy. It was run by elites, what was called a liberal democracy, but in reality was a false democracy.

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.

I am convinced that the path to a new, better and possible world is not capitalism, the path is socialism.

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.

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

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

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

Long live the Unity of Latin America.

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

What you want is one thing, and what you cannot really obtain is another.

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.

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

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.

I love Jesus Christ. I am a Christian... I cry when I see injustice, children dying of hunger.

I love books. If they are good books, I love them even more. But even if they are bad books, I still love them.
