empirical research
"(In Bolivarian Venezuela, 'the Empire' is the United States.)"
From Jon Lee Anderson's whatever-it-was (profile? diary? string of vignettes?) on Hugo Chavez, in the June 23 issue.
I've heard that from a wide variety of Latin American socialists, not just those in/of Bolivarian Venezuela. And why is it in parentheses? If this sounds like nitpicking, on my part, it is and it isn't. The way Anderson's whatever-it-is is written it falls into the trap of making it all "about" Chavez, the whole revolutionary socialist hero bit (closely related to the blame it on a dictator bit). What about the guy holding the huge poster?
