Venezuela

I had to add this, a longer report of Chavez at the World Social Forum in the SF Chronicle: Venezuelan president gets enthusiastic welcome at Brazil social forum.

The World Social Forum is not an organization but "…an open meeting place for reflective thinking, democratic debate of ideas, formulation of proposals, free exchange of experiences and inter-linking for effective action, by groups and movements of civil society that are opposed to neo- liberalism and to domination of the world by capital and any form of imperialism, and are committed to building a building society centred on the human person". You know, those crazy communists, lefties, anarchists, socialists, possibly libertarians, etc...
