Here's the question??? Was Chavez a great equalizer capitalized upon by latino poverty pimps...or was he a terrorist who supported the unravelling of private farms...or was he the great liberator that many believe he was???
I still don't know.
For one he wasn't a Mexican ---he was a third generation American. He was against illegal and massive immigration from Mexico, he knew illegal immigration was a way to keep people dirt poor and out of work. I think he was just a typical union organizer who thought the workers should have decent wages and working conditions. I always hear he was a Communist but I don't think he was any more Communist than those labor union types in Detroit.
