POPS Why Isn't Socialism Dead? In a similar vein, Morales' mentor, Hugo Chavez, has also been preaching that to be rich is to be wicked, while to be poor is to be virtuous -- and though he may be quoting scripture to support his arguments, there can be no serious question that Chavez-style populism is simply socialism with a South American accent. And this leads to the question I want to address, namely, Why isn't socialism dead? The Peruvian economist, Hernando de Soto, has argued in his book, The Mystery of Capital, that the failure of the various socialist experiments of the twentieth century has left mankind with only one rational choice about which economic system to go with, namely, capitalism. Socialism, he maintained, has been so discredited that any further attempt to revive it would be sheer irrationality.

POPSBolivian Police Kill Assains Bolivia's President Evo Morales has been hunted for some time now. One core of murderous opposition are the SuperRich and International corporations that who control much of Bolivia's farm and natural gas wealth in the lowland east around Santa Cruz. Many papers fall into the cliche of he's 'Left," and his opponents are "Right-wing extremist," but these terms are often charade and excuse. Mr. Morales acts and advocates for the middle and lower classes, Native people values (he's the first iindigenous leader of a Western nation in the Americas) and was democratically elected. The murderous opposition is the SuperRich who control all the valuable resources. It's rich vs. poor, not left vs. right. FYI - This has been the conflicts of many struggles and deaths in the Americas: Those who control the wealth vs. those who live on the land. Western powers tend to support the SuperRich, overthrow democracies that threaten their interests, install dictators.

POPS"Bolivia’s Morales Asks UN to Recognize Legal Coca Use in Letter to UN" Morales has encouraged the industrialization and possible exportation of coca products such as teas and liqueurs since taking office in 2006. Bolivia is the third-biggest producer of coca in the world after Colombia and Peru, and total production was about 28,900 hectares in 2007, more than double the 12,000 hectares allowed under Bolivian law, according to the most recent UN drug report. The Bolivian leader says the problem of drug trafficking should be stopped by curbing consumption in major markets like the United States and Europe.

POPS100K & 5 Presidents at World Social Forum
One new amazing U.S. media brain-dead news report was about the burning question of the midweek's second news cycle: "Is President Obama Giving Too Many Interviews?" But as I was rushing to the computer to login and cast my vote I began to wonder about the question itself. "Are Republican obstructionist getting too much air time on brain dead TV?" I though would be a better question. Or: "Can the nation stomach hearing former VP, hated Dick Cheney, offer advice from the Dark Side?" -- since advice from Cheney to Obama was another alleged "news," topic. That's why when I read of this year's gathering of the World Social Forum it was a breath of fresh air: Non-self-obsessed news of something other than the sour soup de jour of defeated Republicans and haunted ghosts of the Bush Administration. One idea that sunk in from this clip (and others) was that we're hearing more from the people who screwed America over, gave away billions to the SuperRich and now pretend to have solut

Earlier, the US state department declared that the Bolivian ambassador in Washington, Gustavo Guzman, was "persona non grata".

POPSHugo's Friend, former Bishop is New President in South America!
Lugo calls himself an independent and has steered clear of Latin America's more radical leftwing leaders, such as Venezuela's Hugo Chávez and Evo Morales in Bolivia. But he is seen as a likely ally of moderate leftist presidents in the region. Lugo, nicknamed the "bishop of the poor", was confident Paraguayans would elect him in the hope of seeing "a different country", likening himself to a David fighting a "monstrous Goliath". The Colorado party has stayed in power by means of democracy and dictatorship, ruling even longer than Cuba's Communist party. Eight months ago, Lugo welded unions, Indians and poor farmers into a coalition with the main opposition party to form the Patriotic Alliance for Change. Many ordinary Paraguayans had become fed up of what they saw as a corrupt establishment, that failed to safeguard the poorest in a country landlocked by wealthier neighbours Argentina and Brazil, and economically dependent on its agricultural and hydroelectric power exports.
