From this weekend's Wall Street Journal story on Venezuela's anti-Chavez student left:
Ivan Stalin Gonzalez, who prefers to be called just plain Stalin, is president of the student body at the Central University of Venezuela, or UCV, Venezuela's biggest public university. During the past few weeks, Mr. Gonzalez and other student leaders here have organized protest marches by tens of thousands of students opposed to a constitutional referendum set for Dec. 2. The proposed changes would dramatically expand Mr. Chavez's power and allow him to seek perpetual re-election. 'Historically, students have represented the hope and conscience of Venezuela,' says Mr. Gonzalez, who, unlike his bushy-moustached and sinister-mannered Soviet namesake, is scruffy-bearded and laid-back.
"Sinister-mannered" versus "laid-back"? Well, I guess that's one way to put it. But what about the fact that, unlike his "Soviet namesake," Gonzalez presumably is not also a ... you know ... paranoid homicidal maniac responsible for the deaths or imprisonment of millions upon millions of people?
