Socialism Creates Yet Another Dictator
Venezuela announced the death of Republican government there today, with the victory of Hugo Chavez’s campaign to overturn presidential term-limits.
The vote allows Chavez to run for another 12-year term. And being that he controls the media there, and has heavy influence on government employees, it is almost certain he will win.
An election for another term would make him literally a dictator for life. Socialism always begins with promises to the poor (who always outnumber the rich) at the expense of the rich. But it cannot survive free and open elections. It always needs to control of the outcome of the elections to keep itself in power. The people in Venezuela are already slaves to Chavez’s will and apparently are not intelligent enough to realize it. They don’t realize that this is just the first step towards Communism. Seizure of all private property will follow before too long, along with complete government control of resources and production, and finally mass murder.
The most disturbing part is that his democratic opponents are just standing aside, claiming the moral high-ground, while their system of government is set ablaze. Doing nothing, while letting evil men like Chavez run roughshod over their Constitution, is immoral. They deserve the government they get.
Ultimately, Chavez won’t be content to run his own country. He will also want to control the surrounding countries, and will eventually attack the United States. It may not be an outright military attacxk, but it will be an attack nonetheless.
