Can a true Christian embrace Che Guevarra ?

Hugo Chavez is not a Christian. He is little more than a mini-Stalin or Mussolini. He is nothing more than a tyrannical and oppressive king who would rather his people suffer so that he and his cronies can live in unopposed opulence. He is of the same vein as Ferdinand Marcos, Fidel Castro, Khrushchev, and too many other little wish-they-were-gods. He is allied with the murderous and blasphemous Iranian regime. I really do not see what else needs to be said about him.

Sorry. But I know many refugees from Venezuela whose families owned thriving, job creating businesses. Thanks to Chavez, those businesses are no more.

What about freedom of speech? Do you think it is right that China and Venezuela to snuff out free speech?

Yes I wonder how the socialists would feel if they had their land taken and businesses absorbed and nationalized...how is that a free market solution?

Because Venezuela has massive oil reserves and the economy is funded by free markets in America and Europe buying and using Venezuelan oil. Socialism isn't making Venezuela work, capitalism (in other countries) keeps Venezuela alive.
