~ Keep Spendin' Most Our Lives / Livin' in a Commie's Paradise ~

Hugo Chavez's "socialist paradise" continues down its depressingly predictable path to destruction:

Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, in an effort to deal with food shortages nationwide, threatened today to expropriate farms and raised the price rice producers are permitted to charge.

Old-guard Bolsheviks like Lenin or Stalin would've responded by stealing confiscating all food resources in the offending regions and letting the farmers and their families starve. Millions would end up dying in what was, to fans of Communism, a justified pogrom against traitors to the state. Fortunately, Chavez is no Stalin. At least, not yet.

Watch carefully. This is where radical socialism always leads.

And it's all win-win for him...if things don't go as (centrally) planned, he can just blame those rotten bastards in the United States. Again.
