Populism and Pragmatism
in Venezuela: First half of the interview with me (translated into English)
conducted by Evaristo Marcano. The zigzags, concessions and populist policies
of socialist governments are often responses to the aggressive tactics from internal
and external enemies. The deviations in Stalin’s USSR, for instance, have to be
understood in the context of the threat of an invasion from Nazi Germany. “Path
dependency” theory states that these types of distortions become crystalized in
time even after the threat disappears. Sooner or later all governments
committed to thoroughgoing change will face this dilemma. The following
interview explores this dynamic in the case of Venezuela. http://venezuelanalysis.com/analysis/11505The centralization of ownership of the private media in the United States and elsewhere has become increasingly pronounced, at the same time that its reporting has become increasingly one-sided and monolithic. My blog seeks to expose this lack of objectivity and present alternative ideas that point in the direction of much-needed fundamental change.
