[Marxism] Washington Post attacks Obama for aiding "Chávez consolidate an autocracy"

Apologies to Fred and thank you for clarifying,

 
 
 A student asked Soen Nakagawa during a meditation retreat, "I am very discouraged. What should I do?" Soen replied, "Encourage others."

Peru?! Peru is the bastion of democracy? You're kidding, right?

Fred Fuentes didn't write that. The Washington Post wrote it.

Fred probably took it for granted that the post title he gave that he
doesn't agree with the Washington Post.

Fred translated this article <http://www.greenleft.org.au/2009/793/40809> by
Hugo Blanco for the current issue of Green Left by legendary Peruvian
revolutionary Hugo Blanco on the indigenous uprising occurring right now in
the Peruvian Amazon. He also wrote two articles in current issue on how Peru
were aiding the corrupt counterrevolutionary Venezuelan leader Manual
Rosales evade justice.

This makes it safe to assume he doesn't agree with the Post on the Peru
being a model of democracy.

cheers,
Stuart
