"Chavez, a populist former paratrooper who was first elected in 1998 and survived a brief coup last year, openly praises Cuba's Castro."
Ah, yes---"populist". Now that the words "communism" and "socialism" have a deservedly bad rep, the new nom-de-plume is "populist". It's all just socialism, but the socialists are too intellectually dishonest to say so.
