What will be of note is if fascism replaces Chavez's dictatorship, or if someone else tries merely to take Chavez's place eventually, and if he has learned an important ugly "lesson" and engages in a purge before or shortly after taking over. > The puppy obedient media will distort what really happened > so as to avoid having to kick Venezuala out of the OAS, FTA > negotiations etc. They require democracy for membership. > Venezuala's short experiment in real democracy is over.
