COPENHAGEN (YBH.ME) – Below are some of the more interesting quotes from Hugo Chavez’s 20 minute speech at the U.N. Climate Change conference in Copenhagen today.
Chavez calls for the end of Capitalism.
Mr. Chavez was warmly received and some of the quotes below received enthusiastic applause from the audience in the hall:
“If the climate was a bank [the west] would have already saved it.”
“The destructive model of Capitalism is eradicating life”
“I don’t think Obama is here yet. He got the Nobel Peace Prize almost the same day as he sent 30,000 soldiers to kill innocent people in Afghanistan.
“[Copenhagen is ] not democratic, it is not inclusive, but isn’t that the reality of our world, the world is really and imperial dictatorship…down with imperial dictatorships”
“I don’t think Obama is here yet. He got the Nobel Peace Prize almost the same day as he sent 30,000 soldiers to kill innocent people in Afghanistan.”
“Our revolution seeks to help all people…socialism, the other ghost that is probably wandering around this room, that’s the way to save the planet, capitalism is the road to hell….let’s fight against capitalism and make it obey us.”
Mr. Chavez reportedly received a standing ovation for his last remark.
