sabotabbyShorter Hugo Chavez:
"From Chavez's ongoing speech upon the inauguration of new ministers: Apparently, when he called Jose Ramon Rivero to ask him to become the new minister of labour, Rivero said, you know, president, I am a Trotskyist.
Chavez's response: What does it matter? I am a Trotskyist-- - I believe in permanent revolution!" (Hat tip: ARA mailing list.)
In other sectarian news, the IWW resolution to adhere to the Sixth Declaration of the Lacondon Jungle failed by a narrow margin. That's just embarrassing. In the greater scheme of things, it doesn't matter all that much, given how small the Wobblies are, but it means that the organization that I'm part of and that I identify with the most, ideologically speaking, does not have its head screwed on straight at the moment.
Oh yes, and one other little thing. The U.S. just murdered 31 Somali civilians and hardly anyone's said a peep about it. (Hat tip:![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
