How come this guy became a commie symbol?

You're retarded

Propaganda Norte Americano de Washington.

The pink tide governments weren't really communists; if they were they'd be openly atheistic and anti-nationalistic. They're a more generic brand of left-wing nationalist populists, who use Bolivar as a symbol of independence.

i miss hugo

He was a hack unlike pic related.

Maduro get out while you still can
By a carribean estate and run away with the goverments money because if you don't you're gonna die

Don't tell me.
He even went and endorsed the commie persecution, something Peronist commies nowadays try to deny.

He's not a commie symbol. He only recently even became respected again amongst south Americans.
Bunch of fucking ingrates that they are.

Was Bolivar among the ranks of the American Revolution and French ones? Or did he not really have any ideology other than "fuck off spain"

Commie-light "thinkers" are to blame. They defaced the historic facts to present the Bolívar's independency campaigns as a fight against foreign imperialism, meaning with "foreign" anything outside the Latin America and the Caribbean sphere; even if it includes lands outside Bolívar's original scope (Mexico and its southern statelets, i.e. Guatemala to Nicaragua; the southern cone and Brazil, the spanish Caribbean)

BTW they say that Bolívar's followers were the original conservatives in Colombia, Venezuela and Ecuador, maybe regarding to the post-independence political stage because if one was to search for something called as "original conservatives" they should be the defeated royalists; moreso, Bolívar's ideas on state organization and economy policies are closer to the french physiocrats rather than to the british way of conducting trade (I cite both because those were the two main currents of thought back then in Latin America)

Having all that in regard, Bolívar was a sort of "frenchified" figure, easier to morph as a socialist symbol. If his policies would have mimicked the anglo policies, maybe it wouldn't be so easy for the tankies to morph him into the fake poster boy they sport frequently.

As I said in he's closer to the french revolution ideals rather than to the american revolution. Yes, back then Napoleon was as despised as the spanish king Ferdinand VII, but the french influence was stronger. Bolívar's predecessor and mentor, a man called Francisco Miranda (also from modern Venezuela) served in the revolutionary french army and even his name is inscribed in the arc of triumph along with other revolutionaries.

Strangely, Bolívar hired and invited a lot of british officers (mostly irish) who were veterans of the napoleonic wars and also took loans from english bankers. One could think that the colaboration between the latin american heads of the independence process and the british would have ended up in a wider british influence in Latin America, but that wasn't the case.

One could think that most of modern liberal parties in Latin America stemmed from french ideals.

the british got all the influence they wanted by dominating south america commercially. that's the big reason why they helped out the independence movements. that, and being pissed that the rest of the european powers were going to overthrow the spanish liberal regime and reinstate ferdinand VII to full power

Radical liberal like Jefferson and Napoleon

Well he's a cuck who betrayed Spain, his motherland

sounds pretty commie to me

How? He died before communism was a thing

>peronist
>commies
uhhm... what? populist is not the same as communist my retard

Closer to the French than the American one but yea he was high on the enlightenment as well.
