Dear Annabell, thank you for your commentary. About the matter of the public debt quoted as billions instead of trillions, I guess it is a matter of translation because in spanish the billion has twelve zeros (1,000,000,000,000) while in english i...

Very illuminating!  Respectfully, I believe Senior Vargas, when he mentioned that; "...The situation is so difficult by now that the Treasury Secretary recently declared that the United States is at the edge of insolvency. He also reques...

I particularly like this positive step: "Article 158 defines de-centralization as “a national policy which must deepen democracy, favoring an approach between power and population”, creating conditions such as allowing the exerci...

For a very long time I have been utterly disgusted with Z-NET and many elements in the Anglo-American Left for this kind of blind denial of both Chavez's own dictatorial nature and his love for dictators just like his pals Gaddafi and Mugabe i...

When we start from the position that there will alaways be tension around the Universal (Are they Western values or just human?)  we allow many more conditions of possibility to open up. It is not ever black and white despite what we might wish.

This article demonstrates the disturbing fact that the Bolivarian Revolution and the personality cult of Chavez are dangerously entwined. The revolution can succeed only if it builds a horizontal system of leadership that makes Chavez unnecessary...

One more thing.  The reports were unconfirmed and some sources within Gaddafi's camp later denied the offer took place - but the opposition has acknowledged receiving the offer.  For example, Rebels considering Gaddafi offer http://...

William, Will you share some sources.  This is exactly what I expect to be the case: that there were means of protecting the public under fire in Libya while avoiding the use of military force, but Western states chose force in the hopes of ...

You say "Chavez is no intellectual".  But are you?  And if you are, so what?  The road to war is paved with the defunct ideas of intellectuals.  Rather than cussing out Chavez, we should face three facts.  First...

No, Julian, I am NOT supporting Qaddafi, no more than I was supporting Saddam. But when rebels ask for help from the NATO, they are NOT rebels worth supporting, sorry.  The most reactionary forces in the world are now for rebels - for me i...

This discussion and your concerns are illuminated by recent events, with England, France leading and the United States following along in new imperial project.  I am definitely against the bombing (they call it a no-fly zone but will certain...

I've appreciated Wallerstein's analysis in the past and his world systems framework is very useful in my own research. His claim that there will no security council action though is somewhat embarassing in light of this article being publi...

Now some are warried by "ego" of Chaves, while USA and NATO are preparing to bomb Libya - something that "clear and insightful " analysis of Wallerstein has predicted would NOT happen. A lot of insght here, sure.

Since Wallerstein wrote this the Security Council has in fact authorized a no-fly zone and more. Trying to do predictive analysis in this period of extreme fluidity is useless. Chavez is no intellectual, he sees everything through one lens and ob...

Thank you for questioning Hugo Chavez's judgment regarding Qaddafi.  The only thing I would take exception to is your gracing it with the word "analysis."  It seems to fall far short of anything that thoughtful.  One g...

Western imperialism is more of an obstacle to Arab liberation and the world Left, than is Qaddafi.  That being said, it is still foolish to embrace a brutal dictator who over the decades has transformed himself to a client of the West in the ...
