So who's revolutionary now?
New revolutionary processes are certainly underway in Nepal,
Venezuela, and Bolivia, and Cubans and Iranians are defending the
gains they made in their revolutions. Brazil has a chance of turning
more to the Left than before.
China and Russia's economic development, their curbing of neoliberal
excesses during their own immediate past, and their increasingly
assertive foreign policy can help create and protect the space in
which the aforementioned processes can move forward.
Mexicans are becoming more and more promising, too. It should be
noted that Hugo Chavez, despite his efforts to forge diplomatic links
with many states and create an anti-imperialist bloc, drew a line at
Mexico and refused to recognize Felipe Calderon:

Chávez: `No reconocemos al presidente electo de México´
El presidente de Venezuela, Hugo Chávez, reiteró que en su gobierno
"no reconocemos al presidente electo de México", donde dijo que existe
"una derecha desesperada que recurre a distintas artimañas", aunque
"difícilmente puede cantar victoria".
Caracas, 17/sep/2006.- "Nosotros no reconocemos al Gobierno de México
o al presidente electo de México, porque ahí pasaron cosas muy
extrañas", sostuvo en declaraciones hechas en Cuba a la emisora
latinoamericana Telesur, que las reprodujo hoy en su sede en Caracas.
Historia continua abajo
Chávez recordó que el presidente mexicano electo, Felipe Calderón, y
"la derecha desesperada", "arremetieron" en su contra durante la
campaña electoral para así intentar "satanizar" al izquierdista Andrés
Manuel López Obrador, quien denunció un fraude y ha sido proclamado
"presidente legítimo" por sus simpatizantes.
