Why Venezuela's Neighbors Are Hoping For A Chavez Win Sunday

14. Thanks everybody

I believe this global revolution was ignited in Chiapas with the Zapatista revolution, after the revolution that collapsed the soviet state socialist regime.

In this revolution Western people are learning from indigenous peoples instead of "bringing civilization to savages". I believe this revolution will pass the Russel Means' revolution rule of thumb:

There’s a rule of thumb which can be applied here. You cannot judge the real nature of a European revolutionary doctrine on the basis of the changes it proposes to make within the European power structure and society. You can only judge it by the effects it will have on non-European peoples. This is because every revolution in European history has served to reinforce Europe’s tendencies and abilities to export destruction to other peoples, other cultures and the environment itself. I defy anyone to point out an example where this is not true.
