Liberty Alone

I little while ago I read an article likening Silvio Berlosconi to Hugo Chavez
Whilst I agree both are unsavoury politicians and I think both should be stood up to, the comparison falls down.
Firstly, Hugo Chavez first attempted to gain power through a coup, secondly Chavez’s links to the Communist terrorist group FARC.
The article seeks to play down suggestions of such links, but according to files from laptops seized by the Columbian Army from FARC members (in cross-border raids - a controversy in itself) show that Chavez actively helps FARC. The files also appear to have been confirmed as genuine by Interpol.

(I would also like to add that Raul Reyes was not an anarchist in any meaningful sense of the word despite the captioning of the picture of his body as such in the linked article)
