I have always said, heard, that it would not be strange that there had been civilization on Mars, but maybe capitalism arrived there, imperialism arrived and finished off the planet.

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

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 love Jesus Christ. I am a Christian... I cry when I see injustice, children dying of hunger.
Hugo Chavez
Image
Peoples of the Americas are rising once again, saying no to imperialism, saying no to fascism, saying no to intervention - and saying no to death.
Hugo Chavez
Image
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.

That man, the king of vacations... the king of vacations in his ranch said nothing but, you have to flee, and didn't say how... that cowboy, the cowboy mentality.

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

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.

The United States is like Count Dracula who at six o'clock in the morning has not sucked [any necks].
Hugo Chavez
Image
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.

Image
Israel criticizes Hitler a lot, so do we, but they've done something very similar, even worse, than what the Nazis did.
Hugo Chavez

I painted. I wanted to be a painter. I sang.

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.
Hugo Chavez
Image
Most governments in the United States in a hundred years have not respected the peoples of Latin America. They have sponsored coup d'etats, assassinations.
Hugo Chavez

When imperialism feels weak, it resorts to brute force.
Hugo Chavez
Image
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
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.
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.

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.
