Comments on: Salvador Allende and Hugo Chavez http://www.dissidentvoice.org/2008/05/salvador-allende-and-hugo-chavez/ a radical newsletter in the struggle for peace and social justice Mon, 13 Oct 2008 14:55:35 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.1 By: NC http://www.dissidentvoice.org/2008/05/salvador-allende-and-hugo-chavez/#comment-20537 NC Fri, 16 May 2008 00:55:16 +0000 http://www.dissidentvoice.org/?p=2006#comment-20537 The overthrow of Allende (with the help of the US), a legitimately elected President was repulsive. The success of Chavez illustrates that he is great political strategist. The great wealth of national resources, namely the largest reserve of petroleum when the price of oil per barrel is high, that Venezuela possesses and the financial power that it weals is Chavez's ace. South America can count its blessings to have somewhere else besides the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund to find loans to better their people's lives. I don't think Allende was quite so lucky, plus his efforts to ameliorate the lives of the poor in his short presidency served to educate the rest of South America nations methods not to use. Thank you Dr. Petra's for such a fine article. Will read more from you. The overthrow of Allende (with the help of the US), a legitimately elected President was repulsive.
