I am convinced that the path to a new, better and possible world is not capitalism, the path is socialism.

We're not perfect, but we do have democracy.

We have to re-invent socialism. It can't be the kind of socialism that we saw in the Soviet Union, but it will emerge as we develop new systems that are built on cooperation, not competition.

The United States is like Count Dracula who at six o'clock in the morning has not sucked [any necks].

Long live the Unity of Latin America.

Venezuela is a free country, and we will not be blackmailed by anyone. We will not accept being told what to do over Iran; we will not accept being anyone's colony.

Down with the U.S. empire! It must be said, in the entire world: Down with the empire!
