Crisis in Honduras, June-July 2009: Coup if it is rightist, revolution if it is leftist

Latin America's leftist leaders and Jose Miguel Insulza claim that the Cuban dictatorship of the Castro brothers should not be excluded from the OAS. However, these same people say that the new de facto government of Honduras should be isolated until it returns the democratically elected President to power.

Ironically, Castro came to power in Cuba through a violent coup and do not share power with anyone, because apparently only the Castro's blood has the right to rule in Cuba. So, with all its undemocratic flaws, this regime is supported by the Latin American left as an example of social achievements.

But those who executed the coup in Honduras, despite having set the date for elections to return the country to democratic normality, are mercilessly attacked by the leftist Latin American governments, and even received an ultimatum from Jose Miguel Insulza .

It is as if being left-leaning meant an excuse for some governments in the region to justify their human rights violations.

  2. Certainly, Fidel overthrew a violent dictator but to establish a violent dictatorship, that is not an honorable cause.
    And yes, we have degrees from a public university because in modern societies education subsidies are not rare or unmoral.
    By the way, Marti and Bolivar were not socialists.
