"I want to declare myself a Marxist, Leninist, communist. Are they going to expel me now? I want them to expel me from the OAS. It's unbelievable that you can be expelled from the OAS for being Marxist-Leninist." - President Evo Morales of Bolivia, ALBA Summit, April 17, 2009

With these words, spoken at the 7th ALBA Conference, Evo Morales issued a challenge to the northern countries just ahead of the beginning of meetings of 34 countries at the Fifth Summit of the Americas.
He spoke in reference to a recent statement by U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in which she said that democracy does not exist in Cuba.
"The United States doesn't have the right or authority to speak about democracy because it is they who foster coups, military coups, like they are doing right now in Bolivia by arming a civic coup."
Also, he emphasized that the people of Cuba enjoy full democracy, without bribery or million-dollar campaigns.
President Hugo Chavez said: "Where is there more democracy, the United States or Cuba? I have no doubt that there is more democracy in Cuba."
During the last Summit of the Americas (2005), violent protests against the Free Trade Area of the Americas (FTAA/ALCA) and George Bush included tear gas versus Molotov cocktails.
This time, the socialists are preparing to bring the war inside the Summit, in defense of Cuba and 21st Century Socialism, which has been sweeping across Latin America, country-by-country.

UPDATE: The OAS Summit just began. And, live via streaming video from Telesur, one Latin American socialist leader after another is using the unity and power of 21st-Century Socialism to demand justice from the United States. There has never been an OAS Summit like this.
Viva 21st-Century Socialism! We can and will export Latin America's revolution to the United States of America, with enough hard work, enough solidarity, enough unity of all of América ... the previous generation suffered torture and dictatorial terror to make this revolutionary movement possible and it is up to OUR generation to do our revolutionary duty ... what have YOU done today to make this happen? ¡HASTA LA VICTORIA SIEMPRE!
VIVA O FORO DE SÃO PAULO!
