The death of Chavez flashed over the world like a rainbow of his immortality. It emerged from the magma of the Latin American continent. He is an ingot born from a fiery volcano. He is an Indian, in whose veins the heritage of the Aztecs and Incas rages. He is a descendant of the Spanish conquistadors who thrust their bloody sword into Latin America and raised their Catholic cross over the American continent. He is a socialist, that red passionary who has been fighting for the people for a century and a half, denying the cruel injustice of the world. Just as Kamchatka is the birthplace of volcanoes, so Latin America is the birthplace of revolutions. Just as a young galaxy gives birth to supernovae, so Latin America gives birth to fiery leaders of the revolution. Fidel Castro is Chavez. Salvador Allende is Chavez. Daniel Ortega is Chavez. Evo Morales is Chavez. They are countless and irresistible.
