Even socialist dictators have an interest in gorgeous supermodels.
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
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
Let's save the human race, let's finish off the U.S. empire.
Hugo Chavez

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

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.

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.

Mr. Bush is an illegitimate President. In Florida, his brother Jeb deleted many black voters from the electoral registers. So this President is the result of a fraud.
Hugo Chavez
Image
I love Jesus Christ. I am a Christian... I cry when I see injustice, children dying of hunger.
Hugo Chavez
Image
I hereby accuse the North American empire of being the biggest menace to our planet.
Hugo Chavez

What you want is one thing, and what you cannot really obtain is another.
Hugo Chavez
Image
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
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
Image
I painted. I wanted to be a painter. I sang.
Hugo Chavez
Image
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
Image
Long live the Unity of Latin America.
Hugo Chavez
Image
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.

Uruguay is one of the biggest producers of software. We are breaking with the neoliberal model. We do not believe in free trade.
