Re: Chavez and Vietnam

This is another kid in the block, that is creating a lot of confussion in
Latin America, along with his partner from Cuba,  Fidel Castro. Reformist
are very danger, because, instead of solving the problems, at the end they
create more social problems. The things about Vietnam is that the US
goverment is also getting close to them, and the US capitalists are planning
to invest heavily in Vietnam and they are planning to privatize many
economial sectors from this nation. It was a very correct stand taken by WSM
not to provide any support to the Vietcong, because it was only a struggles
between bourgoises. As time goes by, we can see the correctness of the
decisions and ideas taking upon  by the WSM and SPGB
