@asperin Oh and i forgot, i do want a (just) government plan for a regulated business environment, or do you want a less regulated business environment like china where your next milk bottle/cartridge maybe your kids last? I don't thank you.
@asperin Oh i see your problem, you see law's simply as bad laws who exist to protect monopolies to be used as a legal weapon agaisn't smaller economies/business's, hence your "economic regulation&corruption rises" claims, they are true in some countries, including the USA (specially in patents (unfortunatly now turning into patent "business"(trolls)). Where what i see/say and said before this reply of you, is laws to prevent, stop and punish those that try or do such things.
BTW for those not familair with the criminla seed nazis plz go to google. Click videos top left cornoer and type in Food Inc or just Monsanto. There are several 1 - 2 hr long documentaries on exactly what Monsanto have been doing and how.
GMO companies are taking over!! I hope their new leader is truly a Paraguay patriot and is going to fight these big agra businesses! Otherwise hes a groomed puppet! Whatever happens in this Paraguay issue affects everyone worldwide.
Contrast Lugo's failure in Paraguay with what Chavez did in Venezuela: he reformed the land, nationalized industry, and gave the peasants guns. Lugo should have had the balls to follow his example. In Venezuela the right-wing thugs are on the run.
@blackiron60 Lugo doesn't lack "balls" but the political situation in both countries are very different. He doesn't have the political power. In Venezuela until this year, congress was in government hands because the opposition had boycotted previous elections to draw attention to itself and play the victim. In Paraguay, the opposition controls congress.
@asperin Well said, let's not kid ourselves into thinking we have a free market when companies help right the laws that give themselves a leg up and guns to enforce their will.
Time and time again, we say that politicians are nothing but liars and thieves. Do you think the politicians over there are any different than the politicians over here? Are different politicians really the solution? Do you think politicians can help create a more peaceful world when their very will is enforced by the barrel of a gun?
@DanNinjaMan actually the gun, so to speak, is pointed AT this guy, which is essentially what's preventing him from going ahead with reforms he has believed in all his life.
@DanNinjaMan Hi! -quick response!!! :) No, I mean this guy is president, but congress is controlled by the pro-landowner forces, which includes his own vice-president. He is a good man trying to make the best of very limited means to forward the needs of the majority.
These GM food not only affects us but destroys our fertility ....I think one day, we too have to go to monsanto for some human baby seeds since they have patented 25 % of the human Genome.
The problem is also the ppl try to fight fair thru the courts. What ppl dont understand the courts are NEVER fair. Its not about justice. The judicial system is there to PROTECT the CORPORATIONS who created it in the first place.
South America (btw what a degrading title) has been deemed as a region where it will be completely cleared for farmland and nothing else. Each region of the world they have already zoned and for a particular use.
What in the world ARE THEY DOING TO US.
GOD bless these ppl for fighting. DEATH to Monsanto - the TRUE seed of destruction
@NicosNicosNicosNicos well I just think its ridiculous to call a whole continent south ...of ....america. I mean this place existed well before "America" was even thought of. That region must have had its own identity well b4 USA. Thats all. Lol I have nothing against sth Dakota.
@Badwolf182 Hi, the confusion comes from the fact that people in the US have taken to calling their country (the United States of America) just "America" -which is in fact the name of the continent and not just their country. -If there is something degrading it may well be precisely this.
(In my opinion it is worse when people from other parts of America, such as Brazil, say it.)
The indigenous name inter-American indigenous movements use for the continent is "Abya Yala"(from the Kuna language).
@NicosNicosNicosNicos What I meant is ppl from Sth America have diverse cultures and language and to be called sth america is insulting. I know the nth american natives used to call it Turtle land but I didnt know what Sth Americans called it so thanx. AND that is what it should be called in my opinion bczo we dont call say Nepal by some other namelike sth of china do we. That was my point but i guess ppl took it the wrong way and became defensive
@dirtyboy830 well I just think its ridiculous to call a whole continent south ...of ....america. I mean this place existed well before "America" was even thought of. That region must have had its own identity well b4 USA. Thats all. Lol I have nothing against sth Dakota.
The ''America' in South America has absolutely nothing to do with the USA. North America and South America were called that before the USA was even founded. Both continents are part of The Americas. One of them happens to be more to the south, so therefore: South America, I don't see the problem.
Yes, I know that the continents were not ORIGINALLY called America. I was simply pointing out that the name South America has nothing to do with being ''south of america'' or the USA in any way.
Ben Dangl is a jackass. He explains everything from his own bias self made point of view. The Real News had to fill in some information because Ben didn't. I hope you guys heard when the Real News said the opposition "the elites" controlled congress, the military, and the corporate sector. Fernando Lugo is trying to fight against the corruption but he underestimated the opposition by naively thinking he could reason with the elites with peaceful and honest negotiation. Now his position is worse.
Sounds like this president used doublespeak - ie, he said he wants land-reform, but did he say in whose interest? - Perhaps his idea of land-reform is to reform it in a way more beneficial to monsanto and co.
Latin America will have to put up with these phonies, as they try to capitalise and divert the movement sweeping the continent.
@JaCorBoar No, he is sincere about it, but his hands are to a large extent tied. He is no phony. There is a lot of work still to be done to overcome the real power in Paraguay. His own vice-president is from the opposition, which controls congress. There have been more than rumours about coups, but enthusiastic plotting to overthrow him by the powerful.
@chopin65 (Well, as a side comment Lugo comes from that branch of catholicism that believes in the "option for the poor", if one is going to believe in a religion, I prefer their take on it.)
I'd retain from these Dangl interviews that understanding Latin America's leftwing govts.shouldn't focus on the individual presidents to the point of losing sight of the social movements that created them.
What I object to is Dangl's angle, which seeks to discredit the very real and absolutely historic achievements of these presidents (and thus of those social movements).Sure there is much more to be done.They are steps in the right direction though.
"Not shown political will" ?? Dangl, I'd love to see you try and run Paraguay with the rightwing opposition controlling the congress, including your own vice-president and so on.
Thanks Jesse for remembering that Lugo is treading a thin line between being able to govern at all and being overthrown by those with real power in Paraguay.
Democratisation is a process,and Lugo is an essential part of it, much of the struggle being up to those acting from the ground up.
@marsCubed Hey marsmarsmarsmars,I think that popular movements organizing themselves as seen at the end of the video is excellent.My point is that Lugo,being (as the vid.also mentions)an expression of those movements,and being a president fighting against huge odds to improve the country for the people,indeed should be criticised for whatever his failings may be,but contributing to a coup against him risks setting social movements BACK.He is on their side.The right in Lat.Am wants power back.
The Bush family is buying up land there and plan on exploiting their water for profit .
Bush also is using commandos from Blackwater to oppress the people who are fighting back.

The alternative is disaster; gross inequality, de-skilled workers, wrecked environments, no health. for short term profits.
