Sep 10, 2008 - More propaganda supporting a dictator. Wonderful. Welcome to the Hugo Chavez Show! Much the same as the Vladamir Putin Show, much the same as the Kim Jong-il Show, much the same as the Adolf Hitler Show. People who watch and believe in this crap should just go and spend some time living under a dictatorship and quit bothering the free world with their leftist, socialist baloney! If you want to be ruled by a tyrant in a dirt poor country, there are plenty of countries that will take you!

Sep 11, 2008 - Yeah America has a dictator with endless executive power. You don't know anything. You say what they have conditioned you to say. Try critical thinkin NOway. There is no difference between the 2 parties... Call me when Chavez is putting his people in death camps??? Did you really just say that. The point of the whole doc is to show how America overthrows elected governments to gain control. Then thousands are hurt and the rich control the masses. The poor love Chavez. Read a bood...

Sep 13, 2008 - Democracy sucks ass! It doesn't give a shit about rights! The people can vote to cut off Joe schmoes balls and he'd have no choice but to be be a castrated little bitch.

Sep 16, 2008 - Message me and I will explain why I say all of those things. If you look at the democratic republic link, notice that all of the countries that are democratic republics are contries that have had problems with supression.

Sep 26, 2008 - Yeh, it really annoys me how chavez has been added to america's "black list". i wonder how long its going to be before american politicians accuse him of supporting terrorism and trying to acquire weapons of mass destruction. id like to point out that venezuala was the first country to send aid to the USA after hurrican katrina

Sep 26, 2008 - i believe the saying goes. Democracy is 2 wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for diner.

kiriakufromcyprus Says:

Sep 27, 2008 - OK, what would you prefer? would you trust that a dictatorship won't abuse power and starts oppressing people.

wildabeast11235 Says:

Sep 28, 2008 - so the only 2 choices i have are democracy and dictatorship? btw there basically the same. and elite ruling class controls the population through force and manipulation. and to answer you question i would prefer a totaly free market.

kiriakufromcyprus Says:

Sep 28, 2008 - What your describing is oligarchy or plutocracy. The thing thats wrong with many western nations right now is that their trapped in a two party system, the two parties often very similar policies and are funded by the same corporations. So the american and australian systems are more like an oligarchy. But as for your first question, there is no good alternative to democracy.

marktube10 Says:

Sep 29, 2008 - If Chavez is a dictator how come most people keep on voting for him? How come capitalist corporations are still allowed to work in Venezuela? How come when you ask questions on common capitalist doctrine you are accused of being a communist/socialist?

wildabeast11235 Says:

Sep 29, 2008 - okay what youre describing i allready understand and have made clear soooo?? and yes there is. a free market. (in response to there is no good alternative to democracy)

kiriakufromcyprus Says:

Oct 3, 2008 - a free market is an economic system, capitalism is the proper term. and america already has a strictly capitalist system.

peterviera28 Says:

Oct 6, 2008 - You know mister Hugo Chavez if you hate america so much then why do you allow us to buy half of the oil you produce down there?

Perussaataja Says:

Oct 6, 2008 - "hate america"..lol someone has been listening Fox.. turn off the tv and read some history.

Oct 11, 2008 - PLEASE DONT READ THIS!!!-copy and paste this to 10 videos or your mum will die within the next 4 hours sorry guys i love my mum

paronsoda Says:

Oct 15, 2008 - Hugo Chaves has for about a month ago decided to do oil business with China instead of USA. But I guess that kind of news isnt broadcasted to people in the USA :-)

truthtrekker Says:

Oct 17, 2008 - I can only speak for myself, but when I was in school I never pledged allegiance to the flag of any democracy.

Nov 5, 2008 - Socialism is here to stay, get used to it America. The fall of imperialism has started.

Mazamorreando Says:

Nov 18, 2008 - Chile despierta ,sangrante y conciente,la gente se informa construye y ataca,esta lucha es de todos...buen ejemplo del pueblo venezolano,la revolucion esta llegando y el pueblo chileno reaccionando. -r-

MrBronson66 Says:

Nov 19, 2008 - That'll be the "dictator" who keeps winning free elections by a landslide, right? The "tyrant" whose government is about as far to the left as Britain in the late 1940s? Any idea why Venezuela, one of the most oil-rich nations in the world, is historically a "dirt poor country" at street level, and slightly less so since Chavez took office? I'm no blind Chavez worshipper - his government has been moving into some unpleasant waters lately - but your FOX-sourced babble is embarrassing.

disparoferoz Says:

Nov 21, 2008 - hugo chavez is a good president.

Allaxxiana Says:

Nov 29, 2008 - Hugo Chavez is an example of what democracy is.
