Capitalism may be to blame for the lack of life on the planet Mars, Venezuela's socialist President Hugo Chavez said on Tuesday.
"I have always said, heard, that it would not be strange that there had been civilization on Mars, but maybe capitalism arrived there, imperialism arrived and finished off the planet," Chavez said in speech to mark World Water Day.
Chavez, who also holds capitalism responsible for many of the world's problems, warned that water supplies on Earth were drying up.
"Careful! Here on planet Earth where hundreds of years ago or less there were great forests, now there are deserts. Where there were rivers, there are deserts," Chavez said, sipping from a glass of water.

Chavez says capitalism may have ended life on Mars And he's speaking from firsthand experience. He's still looking for some of his martian buddies.

What an idiot. Everyone knows it was due to global warming and over logging. Do you see any trees on Mars? Exactly.

Actually his red cronie in Bolivia, Morales says that processed chickens cause homosexuality...
We now know that Happy Hugo and the little Gerbil of the Andes have more in common than just their Ultra-Left politics....

Hi SC, this was so laughably absurd, I just had to share it with you. Chavez seriously needs Science 101. The water is, however, a serious situation, but no one seems to want to do anything about overpopulation except the Chinese.

Is this why countries where capitalism and prosperity reigns, the environment is blasted and destroyed, and socialistic paradises like Zimbabwe and Haiti and Cuba, the landscape is lush and people live lives of joy?

I can safely say communism and socialism are extremely pathological to life here.

McCarthy was right, btw. The democrat party is a wholly owned subsidiary on the communist party.
