Now that Chavez is dead, we should let Spain be the colonial power

[His Highness the Wise TibetanMonkey, Most Humble Philosopher]

(Of course, you should take this with a grain of salt, a sense of
humor if you will, but I always say America would be better off under
British rule. We would have universal healthcare, for example, if not
better transportation system. It's just something to make to wonder
about the nature of independence and dependency. In a globalized world
there's only one power. That's the power of money, right? Of course,
I'm trying to make them do something good instead of living under
caudillos and corruption)

It sounds like we failed to make anything meaningful out of
independence, so Spain is the next logical solution. Under Spanish
rule we can bring European civilization, something that's missing in
our countries, always following the model of the country to the north.
Naturally we have the wrong model of hardcore capitalism that trickles
down into our nations. Our elites travel and invest their money there
and... Well, you know the rest.

Spain is not in the best shape in its history but perhaps investing in
Latin America could revitalize its economy. Well, it could be another
crazy idea, but I've seen our nations follow other models no less
exotic to our culture, including communism.

Time to think now that the Proyecto Bolivariano is dead. Isn't it?

OK, I don't expect our "gringo amigos" to know about this but Simon
Bolivar went around looking for support in England...

"In the end, he wanted to be made dictator for life. Bolivar also
famously denounced the young United States - but pursued alliances
with England, then the world's super power."

http://mikesbogotablog.blogspot.com/2012/07/bolivars-birthday-party.html

Now England is like the 51th State but back then it wasn't. We should
instead seek support in Europe itself. But we will be different, of
course. We don't want to compete with Germany. We refuse. Our GDP will
be measured in H-A-P-I-N-E-S-S, a rare commodity seldom found in
America. You may look for it in Denmark or Costa Rica though, very
small unpretentious countries. Yes, they must be humble --just as
myself, may I say.

Yes, our "gringo amigos" will be welcomed but our rules will be
different. NO GATED COMMUNITIES OR SUVS. Everything nice and safe.
Lots of social places. Just like in Denmark perhaps. Our jungles
though will be our patrimony, a place for worship.

"Yes, we can!"

It's my educated guess that they would have bullet trains run between
NYC, Miami and Los Angeles. They are not super strong like France and
Germany, but at least they are talking about it...

If by catching up you mean back to the old ways, perhaps. Spain has
moved a long way toward bullet trains and other technological and
social transformations.

This last quote seems very fitting here:

every social advance as a first step toward revolution, and that they

When you take into account that a large chunk of the population
believes Jesus will come to save the world while denying Climate
Change, you realize "democracy" is in trouble. The people that lies to
them usually get elected.

"While high-speed trains have been zooming commuters across the
continents of Europe and Asia for decades, the United States has yet
to embrace the idea of the bullet train.

President Obama, in his 2011 State of the Union speech, called for a
high-speed rail system over the next 25 years. However, Mr. Obama’s
proposal to spend $53 billion on high-speed rail over the next six
years hit a roadblock when Congressional Republicans eliminated money
for that plan for the year."

Oh, such a bad idea... It's better to build arenas and dump money down
the drain in "street beautification."

I happen to agree with this statement:

'It is the wrong type of bike for the "poor" of Venezuela. What is
needed is more of a Breezer approach; commuter bikes, folding bikes,
and folding utility bikes...that would be revolutionary! Not fake
mountain bike-looking objects.'

We can't build a bike without RACK for the revolution. We need them to
be utilitarian machines for the proles.

Well, that sounds bourgeois but I don't like "one bicycle fits all"
like Mao promoted.

Anyone can have the bike they want.

Like it says in the quote above they need is commuter bikes with
baskets and racks. People often treat the bike as a toy and within the
South American sub culture --a reflection of American culture-- is
probably the car that people crave for. Venezuela rolls American cars,
big cars, without much respect for traffic laws --not unlike Miami.

Chavez went to Iran to get a bicycle, but he could have gone to Brazil
and get a better deal...
