10. I think what you really have is a conservative autocratic left leadership in these countries
Cuba, Venezuela, Ecuador is going down that road, Danny in Nicaragua, Evo would like to be. Certainly not progressive or liberal. More like the Soviet Union or China of yesteryear than say Sweden or France or Brazil under Lula. these countries certainly are more conservative than the US with regards to press and societal freedoms even when we have a moron like Bush.
