Chávez: The Rhetoric of the future with Ideas of the past

 

By Martha levitra without a prescription and Alexander Diaz
Number 55

Although the left does not have referring historical a present one, that the economic model continues conditioning the social policy, and that the electoral left has demonstrated that also he is susceptible of corruption, the overwhelming triumph of president of Venezuela Hugo Chavez in the federal elections of the 2006 closed the electoral cycle in the region and harnessed the old nationalistic and anti-imperialist speech. Evidently, the ballot boxes confirm that there is a tendency towards the electoral left in the region, because of nine federal elections that followed one another in Latin America the last year, only four: Colombia, Mexico, Peru, and Costa Rica abiertamente governments of right center are considered (Table 1).

Costa Rica February Oscar Arias
Colombia May Alvaro Uribe
Peru June Alan Garci'a
Mexico levitra without a prescription Felipe Calderón
australia buy levitra online ship October Rafael Draws out
Nicaragua October Daniel Grouse
Brazil October Lula da Silva
Venezuela December Hugo Chavez

These results constitute a clear answer to the adjustment australia buy levitra online ship that reigned in the past australia buy levitra online ship and which they limited the levitra without a prescription growth increasing the poverty and marginalization, and that took to the questioning australia buy levitra online ship the democracy like optimum regime to solve the great problems of the australia buy levitra online ship as it indicated the Program to them of the United Nations for the Development (the PNUD) in Latin America when affirming that malaise in the democracy but not with democracy 1 gift levitra online .

The advance levitra without a prescription gift levitra online exercise gift levitra online an electoral democracy is evident throughout levitra without a prescription last decades. In the region, now elections practically without no type gift levitra online questioning to their legitimacy are realised, nevertheless, is minimum the satisfaction in the enormous majority of the population, because the Latin American democracies have settled in poor societies where more of the 40 percent half of destitute them is below the line of the poverty -, where unequal societies coexist highly and as much the exclusion as the corruption grazes in the fields our cotidianidad. This situation stands out in the Report on the Democracy in Latin America, the PNUD notices that the proportion of Latin American that would be arranged to sacrifice a democratic government for the sake of a socioeconomic progress real surpasses the fifty percent, which was demonstrated with the triumph of Chávez in Venezuela, the return of Daniel levitra without a prescription in Nicaragua, and the one of Alan Garci'a in Peru - to weighing of the great economic and social problems in which it left this last one to his country in the second lustrum of the Eighties.

The report that presents/displays the Center for the Opening and the Development of Latin America (CADAL) 2 reveals excellent information to us that it allows to evaluate the economic and political degree of freedom as well as the levels of corruption. In this study on democracy and development, clearly it is observed that Venezuela very badly appears evaluated only surpassing to Cuba and Haiti; on the matter, we remember that this last one heads the list in Latin America of the australia buy levitra online ship of Fallidos3 States and in the case of the island is known its high degree opacity in the governmental management.

Although the left is certain has gained spaces, nevertheless, it is clear that this one are lost its referring historical ones, has forced which them to extend the options of government management, where the fan of left includes from the confrontacional left under the leadership of Chávez and agglutinates tibiamente to Evo Morales in Bolivia and to Ecuador and Nicaragua, levitra without a prescription through a left with programs to the levitra without a prescription Keynsian style like the one of Kirchner in gift levitra online and Tabaré Vázquez in Uruguay until one more a more tie left to the processes of globalisation like the one of Lula in Brazil and Bachellet in Chile.

However, it is evident that what sustains to the left (in singular - the one of the chavismo and the one of the dialogue) electoral in Latin America, is the fight against the levitra without a prescription and the inequality, are 40% of poor men in Venezuela, 42% of Brazil, 58% of Nicaragua, 52% of Ecuador, the thousands of unemployed of Argentina, the million natives marginalized in Bolivia and Ecuador, briefly near 210 million overwhelmed people by the poverty and inequality in Latin America that levitra without a prescription cry out by an improvement in the quality of life sacrificing democracy (as it is the case of the Bolivariana Republic of Venezuela).

Venezuela a political laboratory
Against this background it is that the Venezuelan experiment is due to analyze by far well-taken care of because constitutes a regime that openly looks for to establish the socialism - exactly as it is written - in the heat of levitra without a prescription century, this concept that in voice of Chávez even reaches not known and contradictory levitra without a prescription for example, when We affirm , the Bolivariano Movement, I Hugo Chavez, I am not Marxist but I am not antiMarxist. I am not communist but I am not anti-communist.

Before the difficult social panorama that it evidently faces the region the geopolitics that looks for the chavismo tries to agglutinate in its surroundings australia buy levitra online ship dissimilar governments as considered of moderate left (Brazil and Argentina) and the extraregional governments as the gift levitra online of Iran and North Korea

Although it is certain that history is written from the present, is evident that for the Commander history not only falls in the forgetfulness, but even realises a diametrically opposite re-reading which the last decade of the past century showed to us, that is to say would seem that the experiment of the real socialism had not failed resoundingly at the end of century XX, and that the roots of this failure gift levitra online were not related to the gift levitra online bureaucratic management and abusive of a leadership that yes had the benefits that can grant the absolute power and that in the name of the socialism committed mistakes in the social and economic management of these countries.

Obvious levitra without a prescription its new socialism it gives a touch him of originality to be able to be sold to the audience levitra without a prescription a change in the quality of life not only in Venezuela demands, but in all the continent In such a way australia buy levitra online ship Chávez appears like a tyrannous leader that apparently escapes of the paradigm of the dark leader and like that they presented/displayed to us of old Eastern Europe. It is obvious, Chávez new leader of left electoral - radical in his speech adds thought of Bolivar to idea of new socialism, trying to do to think that Bolivar was Socialist, when is evident that it was a liberal one, levitra without a prescription attached to the best tradition of Montesquieu4.

In this line it is important to indicate the temporality levitra without a prescription the two great figures that are repeated constantly in the rhetoric of Chávez: Bolivar and levitra without a prescription (although this one last one of indirect way). Both appear in the speech as figures whose thought is related and paid to the idea than today it is the official speech in Caracas. levitra without a prescription as history is written according to the turn dictator, one forgets that when Marx was born already Bolivar was thirty and five years old and when Marx writes his first well-known australia buy levitra online ship his doctoral thesis in 18415, Bolivar had died. levitra without a prescription Simon Bolivar could not be inspired by Marx since levitra without a prescription did not know australia buy levitra online ship work the most important Socialist. Still more, when the independence of Venezuela and the countries under influence of Bolivar in 1821 is obtained, Marx as soon as she was three years old, obvious, could not have influenced in the political formation of Bolivar. Nevertheless, Marx yes knows the work Bolivar and writes for the New American a biographical article on Simon Bolivar. Marx jointly worked the biography with Engels, which was published in 1858 under its responsibility with the title of Bolivar and gift levitra online . The anecdotal thing of the writing of Marx is levitra without a prescription it considers treasonous Bolivar, coward, disloyal, inept, militarily racist and dictator.

Everything indicates that australia buy levitra online ship thought of Bolivar had a liberal base levitra without a prescription been becoming in the principles of the Illustration australia buy levitra online ship that nothing had to do with the socialism, neither the Marxist nor the utopian one. And as we know, Marx based their main ideas of socialism like questioning to the theory of liberalism. Therefore, he is contradictory to affirm that somebody like Bolivar, at the beginning of century XIX, adhered to the liberal faith could simultaneously be precursory of socialismo7.

Doubt, gift levitra online economic model does not fit that today it promotes Chávez for Venezuela is rentista, primary exporter, with the application of an old keynesianismo and with a strong welfare policy of social development to the layers lower than unquestionably they give viability to levitra without a prescription mandate through enormous circuits of support and monitoring of the regime. The strong currency affluence has been the fundamental piece for the success of the government in gift levitra online From the arrival of Chávez to the power in 1999, the prices of petroleum have increased of near 10 dollars by barrel to the historical maximums of more than 75 australia buy levitra online ship which has represented them Venezuelan finances to receive today near 60 billions of dollars by concept of exports, situation that has allowed to stabilize its economy in spite of the resounding fall of gift levitra online 2002-2003

With its gigantic reserves of the hydrocarbon and gas that are located between the five first of the world, Venezuela foretells that it will continue counting on enormous resources to finance his dream of bolivariana integration under trusteeship of Caracas. Nevertheless, Venezuela evidence that in spite of the political promises and/or well-meaning desires of the left governments, the economic model continues conditioning the left electoral8, is enough like example to indicate levitra without a prescription in the antipodals of the antiYankee and anti-imperialist speech, Venezuela at the moment exports 1,5 million barrels from petroleum to the United States constituting the fourth world-wide supplier of this strategic resource. Who desire in this relation? Evidently levitra without a prescription is a symbiosis, the sum is important for the economy of the United States that wishes to maintain this relation, nevertheless, also for Venezuela represents 60% of his exports, in addition not only it exports crude, it processes but it in American ground through Citgo, a levitra without a prescription of PdVSA. And although it exists possibilities that Venezuela changes of market towards China, this would be translated in an increase of costs in terms of transport and refinement of the crude one, situation that they would have to analyze the people in charge of the oil policy in Venezuela, because the costs would levitra without a prescription the possibility of extending the number of beneficiaries of their social policy and consequently it would exhaust his margin of action based on the political clientelism, however, really the last word has the own Chávez.

Finally, in political terms the chavismo him bet to the direct democracy, which can seem an attractive exposition, because it would be translated in participation levitra without a prescription of the citizens in the political life, nevertheless, not necessarily implies a deepening of the democracy. On the contrary, it happens in an iron political control of the channels of democratic decision. The reason is based in which the systems degenerate easily in aclamacionistas systems where the town plays an active role seemingly, every time the important decisions already have been taken previously and the group authenticates it solely, as it happens today in Venezuela.

7 Evidently, this reference is intrascendente for the million Venezuelans who live in poverty and which as soon as they reach a minimum percentage of schooling. A similar analysis could be realised both after the speeches of gift levitra online political leaders more in both gift levitra online years in Mexico: Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador and Vicente Fox, both juarista of heart in spite of ideologically being opposed.
8 Besides Venezuela, the other left, led by Chile and exemplifies it to Brazil. First australia buy levitra online ship by Michelle Bachellet it is realising Free Trade Agreement with the United States. Brazil on the other hand, realises measures that would be the envy of right governments as it is not to have fiscal deficit. In similar situation is Bolivia, that spread the idea that it nationalized the gas and petroleum, and nevertheless, is a fact, more than a process of expropriation of companies we can speak only of a contract negotiation.
