http://theotheramericas.blogspot.com/2007_10_01_archive.html
Observations on the Americas, politics, and history. Wednesday, October 10, 2007. The Worst Place to Live in the World. Where is the worst place in the world to live today? If you said Iraq then guess again. Darfur? The last scientific report released on the number of those killed was in 2004. A new report is to be published within the next month. Estimates are placing the likely number as high as 6 million since 1996. When is the last time Bush mentioned the conflict ragging there? The problem is that B...

The other Americas: Blackwater, Privatization, War and Fascism
http://theotheramericas.blogspot.com/2007/10/blackwater-privatization-war-and.html
Observations on the Americas, politics, and history. Friday, October 5, 2007. Blackwater, Privatization, War and Fascism. The problem is that Blackwater and others, as a private company operating under the free market capitalist system, are driven by profit. It is there goal as a company to generate profit and growth; it is what drives competitive capitalism. And what is Blackwater’s business? Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

The other Americas: Venezuelan Referendum pt II
http://theotheramericas.blogspot.com/2009/02/venezuelan-referendum-pt-ii_18.html
Observations on the Americas, politics, and history. Wednesday, February 18, 2009. Venezuelan Referendum pt II. In applying the dialectical method as a means of examining the Bolivarian Revolution one is struck by the self contradictory nature of Chavez and his program. . One contradiction of the Bolivarian process that arises is the need for a strong centralized authority to implement reforms and policies that move in the direction of egalitarianism and popular participation. . Without other independe...

The other Americas: July 2007
http://theotheramericas.blogspot.com/2007_07_01_archive.html
Observations on the Americas, politics, and history. Thursday, July 19, 2007. Snow and Heat in Argentina. I asked Fede what was up with this and he gave me a pretty straight forward answer, “Well there was this guy named Karl Marx, perhaps you have heard of him, who said that the desire for profit under capitalism is something that makes capitalism move, but is also the same thing that undermines capitalism.”.

The other Americas: Reflections on the Venezuelan Referendum Pt. 1
http://theotheramericas.blogspot.com/2009/02/reflections-on-venezuelan-referendum-pt.html
Observations on the Americas, politics, and history. Tuesday, February 17, 2009. Reflections on the Venezuelan Referendum Pt. 1. The people of Venezuela voted yesterday in a national referendum to abolish term limits on all elected governmental offices. First, a quick breakdown of the numbers. And a unipolar world. Out of this imperialist worldview came the revolt of the dispossessed peoples of the South. In the past, social democratic states were established in Europe following the ...Revolution is a...

The other Americas: The Other September 11
http://theotheramericas.blogspot.com/2007/10/other-september-11.html
Observations on the Americas, politics, and history. Monday, October 1, 2007. The Other September 11. Workers of my country, I have faith in Chile and its destiny. Other men will overcome this dark and bitter moment when treason seeks to prevail. Keep in mind that, much sooner than later, great avenues will again be opened, through which will pass the free man, to construct a better society. Long live the people! Long live the workers!
