Gaucho Marx Wins

Communism has its appeal to this day and populist politicians love to buy electorates with other people's money. Chavez has bought the Chav's vote and is the darling of that dwindling band of Leftist fellow travellers in the West,or should we say they are not dwindling but they just have fewer Marxist despots to fawn and truckle to.This morning the likes of George Galloway and Ken Livingstone will be delighted that Chavez has secured another term in Venezuela.The rest of the civilized world will probably just sigh in resignation at the continuing dogged credulity of the crackers Venezuelan electorate in perpetuating the dead and clapped out ideology of 20th century Communism.
