[news] Venezuela: So This is What Self-Determination Looks Like

[Resist!ca]

It is easy to read between the lines and see why President Hugo Chavez 
represents the worst nightmare of the United States and the global corporate 
imperialists. A 'developing nation' taking control of its own resources? Ending 
sweetheart deals with multinational giants? Plowing profits back into 
infrastructure and 'social revolution,' in effect using American and European 
oil investment dollars to bring prosperity to Venezuelans? Soliciting 
cooperation from multinationals on its own terms? A majority partner in deals 
with Chevron and such? No more bowing and scraping before anybody who knocks at 
the door?
