Socialism Doesn't Work Well for Venezuela
In 2007, Venezuelan ruler Hugo Chávez nationalized all major electricity companies. State ownership plays a key roll in his socialist effort to end capitalism. This has resulted in constant power failures. Now it seems the breakdown of Venezuela’s electricity services might cost the Chávez regime support in the upcoming local elections.
Once again, socialist ideology has proven a failure when implemented. Socialism simply cannot deliver—which has been the case so often the statement should be considered an empirically verified fact. Of course, hardcore Marxists will keep dreaming about their utopian society. Reality plays no role in their minds; it is all about ideology for the sake of ideology. But I think ordinary Venezuelans are beginning to lose faith in socialism when everyday things like shopping for food becomes a struggle:
“Our refrigerators have burned out so we can’t shop for the week, we can only shop for one day at a time,” said Nestor Pacheco, 39. “The situation is serious.”
(Seen in picture is one of the many murals the Chávez regime has ordered. The Venezuelan ministry of culture spends millions on wall paintings of Hugo Chávez with socialist heroes from the past.)
Yeah Right!Det första är att myndigheterna bör ta dem som utför sådana sabotage. Det finns redan ett par misstänkta politisk vilseledda ingenjörer som sitter i förhör. För den andra: come on! What are you talking about!! hela finanssektorn behöver förstatligas för att räddas!! OCh troligen också några amerikanska biltillverkare! Haha. De åtgärder sok man har tagit hittils räcker inte alls. De löste bara likvivitetsproblemet inte "The Solvency Issue" och inte heller nedgången i ekonomin.
Ett fiasko i amerikansk bostadspolitik ger inte livet i Venezuela bättre. Men Chávez kommer säkert att försöka dölja sitt eget fiasko med nya uttalanden om USA och fler väggmålningar. Det är så han har gjort hitintills för att dölja det faktum att de fattiga inte tjänat något på förstatligandet av stora företag.
We might have a little socialism here in the USA soon. The more I learned about Bill Ayers, probable close friend of Obama, and a the domestic terrorist who is also a Communist and a fan of Chavez, and other Obama associates, I wonder what will happen if Obama turns out more radical than we thought. After all, Hitler was also elected because people wanted change. I think the media and Americans are ignoring the facts at their peril. Maybe it's nothing but maybe not we don't know. We will find out later and see how the people react here once Obama clamps down on FOX news, fires most of the top military for participipating in the Iraq War to replace them with his associates, and tries to control this country like Chavez controls his.

Human rights groups say Chavez has increasingly exerted control over branches of power such as the judiciary and become intolerant of critics in almost a decade in power.
