South America's Free Fall Into Fascism

The election of a Castro-Chavez Communist to the presidency of Bolivia last month, Evo Morales, has accelerated fears that South America is falling into a masochistic abyss of fascism and poverty.

Those fears are about to get much worse – because there is another Castro-Chavez Communist coming down the South American pike far more dangerous than “Coca Evo” (Morales is a coca leaf farmer and is legalizing coca production again).

We’re talking about Ollanta Humala, who seems poised to be elected president of Peru this coming April.

A straight-out Marxist, Ollanta has promised to nationalize much of Peru’s economy and abrogate the recently-signed Free Trade Agreement with the US. Yet the real threat is not economic. The real threat of Ollanta is real war with Peru’s neighbors.
