That might be because only the rantings of deranged sociophobes stand to the contrary.
nah, there are plenty of good people who simply mistakenly believe that socialism is a desirable form of political organization. Chavez just isn't one of them, any more than Castro (whom he props up) is.
first you tell us that the government is sucking up all the diesel in the country, and then you tell us that Chavez' diesel is going to support innocent farmers and the like. It's not my fault you are stuck defending idiotic propaganda.
You are on the ground in Syria then, I take it, and not at all just making this stuff up in your living room?
That is the well-reported reality
from the ground. Syria's military
has been in the field for 16 months. They
didn't have the greatest logistical system to begin with. They
have lost territory and had to consolidate lately. That
is being driven by, among other things, losses to their ability to maintain maneuver capability. The loss of that territory along with the effects of isolation from all except Iran and Russia
have degraded their ability to reinforce and resupply. The importation of diesel
is critical to maintaining their maneuver capability. That is why upon receipt Assad was able to launch an
offensive, because now he could better
support it.
Have you been paying attention to this at
all?

No, I see you have not.
The "Castro regime" has run Cuba for fifty years.
That is correct, as is the fact that Chavez continues to prop it up.
FARC is a group of dedicated Colombian Marxists that's been around for decades. They use bases in Ecuador and Venezuela for training and as hiding places. They are not actually the friends of anyone.
no but they are and have been allies of Hugo Chavez, who used them as a weapon against the US-backed Colombia.
Chavez has been a leading voice espousing the causes of the Non-Aligned Movement.
which died out with the Cold War. In fact Chavez is a leading voice opposing America's position in the world (read: he intends to be a threat to US interests), and he is allied with Iran, Syria, China, and Russia in this.
Iran is also a member and has rights that even American bloviators need to respect.
Such as the right to be the worlds largest state supporter of terrorism. That does not exactly make them good guys, nor does it mean that Chavez is to be exonerated for his anti-American alliance with them.
Nobody is a bigger client of the PRC than the United States.
that is incorrect and demonstrates an ignorance of what "client state" entails.
That's not a strawman at all
A straw man is a type of argument and is an informal fallacy based on misrepresentation of an opponent's position.
good ole wikipedia.
