Aid

[bcholmes]

In the name of Venezuela, I have decided to send 200 tons of food to the people of Haiti who are being assaulted by hunger and misery. Brotherly and heroic are the people of Haiti who are already suffering from the attacks of the empire’s global capitalism and the lack of true and profound solidarity from all of us. It is the least we can do for Haiti.

200 tons. From oil-rich Venezuela. Is that even a rounding error?

Yeah, really.

This is what happens to smaller / poor nations. They are misused by the colonial powers and then some dictator comes along and tries to impress the world by making the unfortunate nation dance for its food. Hopefully Haiti will take the food but decline to become involved with this man.
