Hugo Chavez


Ngunandiko 168. 



Mutiara
(Hugo Chavez)


Ngunandiko dengan judul " Mutiara (Hugo Chavez) "  ini, berisikan beberapa "quotation" seorang tokoh terkemuka, Hugo Chavez dari Latin Amerika.  Hugo Chavez (1954 – 2013) itu adalah seorang politikus,  ketua Partai Sosialis Bersatu Venezuela (PSUV), dan juga pernah menjadi presiden Venezuela sampai meninggal-nya pada tahun 2013. 


Berikut ini beberapa quotation dari Hugo Chaves yang menggambarkan pandangannya, utamanya mengenai masalah-masalah social dan politic. Quotation itu, yang dikutip dari berbagai sumber untuk kita pelajari dan renungkan sbb:

(1). I'm a man with many defects. I love. I sing. I dream. I was born in the poor countryside. I was raised in the countryside, planting corn and selling sweets made by my grandmother. My children, my two daughters are with me and I want a better world for my grandchildren, for your grandchildren (Hugo Chavez).

(2). The only way to save the world is through socialism, but a socialism that exists within a democracy; there's no dictatorship here (Hugo Chavez).

(3). We must reduce all the emissions that are destroying the planet. However, that requires a change in lifestyle, a change in the economic model: We must go from capitalism to socialism (Hugo Chavez).

Gusdur & Hugo Chaves

(4). We must be aware of consumerism ! That's our tendency. It's the capitalistic curse that we were poisoned with. We should spend only what is necessary. How do you call the big cars, the latest ones? Hummer ! Not a single dollar to import Hummers! What is that? What is that? What kind of revolution is this? One of Hummers? No way! (Hugo Chavez).

(5). Noam Chomsky has a book, which I read for the first time when I was in Spain, called “Fear of Democracy”. There is your answer. Fear of democracy. In Honduras, they had a sham democracy. It was run by elites, what was called a liberal democracy, but in reality was a false democracy (Hugo Chavez).
 
(6). Our policy is to deepen the relations with all the countries in the world - monarchies, kingdoms, large powers - we want to respect all differences and have our relationships based on mutual respect (Hugo Chavez).

 
Hugo Caves & Ahmadinejad
(7). Christopher Columbus (the Italian-born explorer) was the spearhead of the biggest invasion and genocide ever seen in the history of humanity (Hugo Chavez).
Christopher Columbus (penjelajah kelahiran Italia) adalah ujung tombak invasi Barat dan genosida terbesar yang pernah ada dalam sejarah kemanusiaan (Hugo Chavez).

(8). Israel criticizes Hitler a lot, so do we, but they’ve done something very similar, even worse, than what the Nazis did (Hugo Chavez).
Israel banyak mengkritik Hitler, begitu juga kami, tetapi mereka telah melakukan sesuatu yang sangat mirip, bahkan lebih buruk, daripada apa yang dilakukan Nazi (Hugo Chavez).

Demikianlah sejumlah quotation Hugo Chavez seorang pejuang Latin Amerika, yang lahir pada tahun 1954 dari keluarga kelas pekerja di kota industry gula Sabaneta-Barinas, Venezuela.
Semoga bermanfaat.

Optimism is a strategy for making a better future. Because unless you believe that the future can be better, you are unlikely to step up and take responsibility for making it so
