:-) The leftists in Venezuela who are "criticizing" Chavez are
self-labelled "stalinists" or "trotskyists."
And in any case, criticism _in_ Venezuela would be politically relevant (right or wrong) while the kind of empty "criticism" that he gets from u.s. "leftists" is either ultra-left dogmatism or pure red-baiting from the political slums.
