so wait, ace: do your posts mean that you side with the economic elite in venezuela and that you support their particular versions of class warfare because you know what they are, how they unfold and what they mean? or is this a simple exercise in a priori playing around, one that is not based on anything like information about venezeula, its class structure, its politics, its history? are you of the conservative school that thinks the only socio-historical information that matters is that which is coincident with neoliberal ideology?
it seems that you are because when you strip away the pseudo-data, you arguments come down to neoliberalism uber alles--no alternatives are acceptable. you dont need to understand what these alternatives might be because you have decided a priori that they do not work. on what basis? it certainly cannot be--CANNOT be--on the basis of anything approaching a close look at the damage wrought by neoliberalism in south america. it cannot be based on any understanding of the history of us-latin american relations. it cannot be based on any coherent information about venezuela, and it obviously does not require a coherent understanding of either hugo chavez or his politics or of how his political address aspects of class war in his country.

given that it seems you are engaging in the same a priori game as powerclown or dk, i wonder why you bother with the data that you gather.

but even more, i wonder if at some point in the past you were rcp. your use of the rcp paper was funny. do you have a bit of mao in your past?


plot summary: it seems to me that what guyy said above is accurate re. powerclown and dk...and it seems to me that you, ace, present a more data-centered version of the same thing.
