Noam Chomsky denounces old friend Hugo Chávez for 'assault' on democracy

Renowned American intellectual accuses the Venezuelan leader of concentrating too much power in his own hands

Hugo Chávez has long considered Noam Chomsky one of his best friends in the west. He has basked in the renowned scholar's praise for Venezuela's socialist revolution and echoed his denunciations of US imperialism.

Venezuela's president, who hasrevealed that he has had surgery in Cuba to remove a cancerous tumour, turned one of Chomsky's books into an overnight bestseller after brandishing it during a UN speech. He hosted Chomsky in Caracas with smiles and pomp. Earlier this year Chávez even suggested Washington make Chomsky the US ambassador to Venezuela.

The president may be about to have second thoughts about that, because his favourite intellectual has now turned his guns on Chávez.

Speaking to the Observer last week, Chomsky has accused the socialist leader of amassing too much power and of making an "assault" on Venezuela's democracy.

2. Left wing dictators breed the conditions under which right wing dictators can later rise to power

I worry that someday Chavez's regime will be replaced by a fascist right wing dictatorship.

Keep in mind that primitives, and libs in general, would say the same thing about the LW Lenin creating the conditions for the RW Stalin to rise to power.  Yes, they consider what Stalin did to be "state sponsored capitalism."
