text: should hugo chavez be removed from power? clearly he is attempting to drag latin america down into a leftwing socialist abyss of misery and despair.  imagine how much suffering might have been spared humanity if hitler was taken out before he conquered europe. socialism is a fraud.  marx and engels lived off inheritances; there are no traitors to that class, which is proved by the fact that socialists are such bossy snobs.  aristocracy must be abolished.  politics, as misrepresented by the choices given to chavez, is just a food fight in a prep school.  castro himself came from the upper class--until that automatically disqualifies him because people finally come to the realization that nothing but tyranny and incompetence comes from the spoiled, the south americans will just bounce between rotten right-wing governments and rotten left-wing governments.  chavez seems like a typical peasant who has to worship the rich, so when the rich offer this phony socialism he falls for it and the venezuelans will sink.
