As a minor student of the English language I found it most interesting to note a dictionary entry attributing the roots of the term “populism” to a term in useage in about 1890-95, to wit: “Americanism.”
I am certainly no fan of Hugo Chavez, but it seems abundantly clear to me that as, at least relatively speaking, fat cat Gringos it’s difficult for us to grasp the poverty prevalent in much of Latin America, which engenders envy and desparation.
