Hugo: Capitalism 'causes natural disasters'
2005-10-09
VENEZUELAN President Hugo Chavez has blamed global capitalism for earthquakes hitting India, Pakistan and Afghanistan as well as for mudslides that have struck Central America and Mexico. On his weekly radio and television call-in program, "Hello, Mr. President," Mr Chavez said these catastrophes were nature's answer to the "world global capitalist model". "This model is destroying the world. The world is in danger. Never has there been such disasters, hurricanes, droughts, torrential rains. Incredible! The world is dangerously off balance," he said.

#6  The disasters caused by socialism are purely man-made.

Personally, I'll stick to dealing with the natural disasters and avoid the man-made ones.

#4  Great graphic, AC! Frickin' illogical wingnut tripe volcano. If capitalism causes all that, what is communism responsible for? It boggles the mind.
