Lopez Obrador Continues To Show His Communist Stripes

J.J. Jackson* | October 6, 2006

If it were not for the vocalness of left wingers around the world we might forget what they believe in – limited freedom, oppressive government control, etc.

MEXICO CITY, Oct 3 (Reuters) - Mexico’s leftist opposition leader threatened on Tuesday to launch protests against any attempt by President-elect Felipe Calderon to privatize the country’s energy industry.

“We are not going to allow the privatization of the electricity or oil industry in any form,” Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, who narrowly lost July’s presidential election, told Mexican radio.

Calderon, who takes office on Dec. 1, is a former energy minister who wants private investment by Mexican and foreign companies in the natural gas, oil refining, petrochemical and electricity generation sectors. – Reuters

They don’t believe that people are capable of making decisions.

Did I miss something? Mexico is not a flourishing country. Most of the population lives in conditions far beneath that of even the so-called “poor” in America. Anyone can see that when they would leave the resort areas. The countryside is dotted with shanty houses and that wonderful Mexican healthcare system doesn’t seem to cover dental augmentations! My vacation down there last week confirmed that.

Comrade Obrador, I don’t think you can argue that top down government control of industry has lead to prosperity for Mexico. So why fight for it?

Oh, that’s right. You’re a pathetic lefty.
