I understand what you are saying, I just see it a different way. We can agree to disagree. I never said Guzman isn't a communist, I am saying he isn't the communist. I will leave you with this thought - the gentlemen in the tweed jackets are still around in every LATAM country, while the "real" communists are pretty much either dead, in prison, or dying of prostate cancer. Revolution didn't bring Chavez to power in Venezuela, Gutierrez in Ecuador, Lula in Brazil (they are all populist/communists) nor did revolution give Bogota its first mayor who is also a card carrier. Tweed jackets and compromise did.
