[lbo-talk] Carrol Cox/Chavez's speech

[EverYoung Global Intellectual Enterprises]

Chavez's speech was the outcry of a person stifled by the reality. The poor 
fellow doesn't understand the era we are in--IMPERIALISM. And the people he 
sought solidarity from was his own imbecility. The LONG DEAD "NON" Aligned 
Movement. The heads of deadened nations, the fundamentalists, the warlords, 
the feudal lords, the hag-headed  monsters, etc. That is pure nonsense.
Imperailism is the world system, it can't be blocked by any national 
movement, alliance of nations, world leaders that are necessarily its 
slaves. Even if such an alliance takes place (which is in fact impossible) 
that will be nothing but an inferior and more wretched form of IMPERIALISM 
itself.
Imperialism can only be stopped and ended by a World Revolution, that too 
ought to start from the USA itself. If Revolution occurs in USA today, the 
whole world will be changed within a couple of years. Revolution will thus 
be easy and quick. And that shall ultimately bring with it the life worthy 
of human beings; the habitat worth the humans.
If on the other hand, the Revolution takes place in India or China, that 
will have the chance of meeting its death within a few years only. No 
revolution can survive unless that becomes the World Revolution.
Chavez's speech expressed the message: "Bush is the Monster, to save your 
beautiful, glorious mastership over the laity of your own nations, to save 
the wretchedness you love in your people, to save the system of slavery 
(Stalinist, Feudal, Pre-feudal, "Young" Capitalist, etc.) come let us unite 
together!... And 'fight' against the US Monster--don't laugh, however, 
ridiculous it may sound.
