"Hugo Chavez is a new kind of leader"-Ignacio Ramonet.

After the demise of the "socialist" Soviet Union, the Venezuelan president Hugo Rafael Chavez Frias seems to have brought fresh inspiration for the left. His famous fans include Spanish Prime Minister Zapatero, leftist Latin Amarican presidents, FARC & many more. At the WSF of 2005 in Brazil, Brazilian citizens shouted "Chavez come & rule us". Accused of creating problems in Latin America by funneling money to "radical" movements such as Bolivia's Movement towards Socialism & Nicaragua's Sandinista National Liberation Front.... & also not to mention both Movement towards Socialism & Sandinista are favourites in upcoming national elections. & its no secret that the economy of Cuba has been revitalised because of trade with Venezuela.
Chavez dismisses the Soviet economic model as being state capitalism & says he will build 21st century socialism.
