The leftist press has gushed over every Socialist "revolution" there has ever been, so this comes as no surprise.

The actions of Chavez in creating a single political party are obviously to cement his totalitarian power in the country - this after everything else he has done to physically coerce his opposition into silence. If Bush was making such an attempt to achieve right wing political domination in America, doubtless Ingham would be throwing around words like "fascist", comparing him to Hitler and emphasizing the dangers of totalitarianism, as proven by well over 120 million murders in the last 100 years. And yet this is how the article deals with the negative side of Socialist tyranny:
Hooray! Power to the people. How romantic. Then it's the unquestioning repeat of words like "battalions" and "volunteers", just to remind you that socialism is a noble and exciting act of human brotherhood.
And the statement he leaves us with:
Gush, fawn, gush, fawn, gush, fawn, a la Stalin, Mao, Castro, blah blah blibbety.

Critics worry about the threat to plurality, but organisers say it will give ordinary Venezuelans more chance to shape the future of the country.

But Mr Chavez says the battalions will be centres of debate which will drive the socialist revolution.
Gush, fawn, gush, fawn, gush, fawn, a la Stalin, Mao, Castro, blah blah blibbety.
