    Probably referencing Chavez’ tendency to rape and sexually assault even his allies in the fight for class solidarity.

      Yeah, maybe I misunderstood the reference. I guess there’s a bit of a joke in there? It’s not really where my thinking is at for the discussion, but probably there is another conversation the have there fo sure.

        Ignoring gender inequality in favor of focusing on class solidarity even though they are inextricably tied. Chavez did it to the point of raping many women and girls.

          Horrible.

          Would it not be reasonable to think he ignored gender equality because of his values towards women?

          But you’re right, they are tied together, as are all the other cultural class divisions rooted back to the core issue of economic class. That is the problem to solve, not to the exclusion of others, but because the other problems also must be solved.

            If you listen to the victims they say they didn’t want to speak out and undermine the movement. So at the very least the victims were encouraged to ignore gender issues and soley focus on class issues. Something to consider. I could not care less what the pedophile valued.

              I think there is something to be done about finding the means to screen out psychopaths from getting into positions of power. It’s a whole other issue to tackle and exists regardless of most ideological positions.
