Step Up the Sexy: Chavez Edition.
No revolution is complete without a sexy leader behind it. Where Marx failed with his German-style beer gut, Lenin succeeded with a dapper sense of style and a very sexy goatee. Hugo Chavez turns up the sexy in the same tradition as Lenin. Though he may be somewhat of a theological or philosophical hack we cannot deny that he has lead this revolution by turning up the sexy.In the person of Chavez we have a prime example of the sexiness of masculinity. Adopting the style of Latin American machismo without adapting to the stereotypes associtated with it has allowed Chavez to wear, unafraid, loud, bright colors that shout "Fuck you, you capitalist pig!" This is all balanced out with a, like Lenin, rather dapper suit (presumably not made by sweat shop workers).
Then there is his military past. Normally I wouldn't admit to this but something about a guy in uniform can be very, very sexy. In a heterosexual way of course. When a man has chiseled and greased his body to such a degree that he appears as a if a Greek god and does so without becoming a complete douche-fuck (cf. the so-called "Governator") it is a feat in and of itself. But when that chiseled man happens to be a communist! Well then, we have reached new heights of masculine sexiness.
Chavez isn't just manly, he can also be sensitive and open to the touch of another. This sensitivity, rare among those who resist massive hegemonic power and even rarer among the douche-fucks who run this country (though not unheard of), shows that Chavez has invested his sexiness in other ways. That and a little homoerotic rumor never hurt anyone, in fact it only added to Deleuze and his sexy ways. I should also point out the qualitative difference between the so-called "Bear hug" of Bush to McCain and the way Hugo and Castro gently gaze into each other's eyes, secure in their heterosexuality but open to a night of love between the two.
When faced with the sexy that is Chavez we can only chant, "Viva Chavez! Viva la revolution! Viva la sexy!"
This is a shit and garbage post and I don't know Spanish.
