[news] Venezuela: Changing the World by Taking Power

[Resist!ca]

"You cannot change the world without taking power, that is the example of Venezuela. Chavez is improving the lives of ordinary people, and that's why it's difficult to topple him--otherwise he would be toppled. So it's something that people in the Global Justice movement have to understand, this is serious politics. It's pointless just chanting slogans, because for the ordinary people on whose behalf you claim to be fighting getting an education, free medicine, cheap food is much much more important than all the slogans put together."
