| Venezuela to seize 'idle' firms |
| 2005-07-19 |
| The Venezuelan government has warned it will confiscate hundreds of private companies that are lying idle if they fail to re-open. President Hugo Chavez said the firms' workers would be given help to set up co-operatives and re-start production for the benefit of the community. He said the move was needed to fight poverty and end Venezuela's dependence on "the perverse model of capitalism". |

| #19 Shipman: I prefer a slightly stronger term for people like Chavez and those who support him. |

| #17 TGA - Right now Venezuela should be filthy rich but it's getting poorer and poorer while the Chavistas get fatter. Sorta like Mexico and their ruling class already. Sad isn't it. Unfortunately for the real underclass of Venezuela [and fortunately for the US], they don't have a border with America. |

| #16 is that a stake in his heart? If so, why doesn't he die? |

| #15 Good point Kalle, I've just clicked on all four (and came straight back of course!) One of them *still* glorifies that pyscho murderer Che Guevara I prefer this photo of him to the ones they had actually... |

| #14 It strikes me that the order from Chavez has more in common with fascism than socialism -- if the owners re-open the business, they'll still own it. Of course, the socialism and fascism are two sides of the same coin, so it's really just nit-picking. (Cue MS to defend Chavez...) |

| #13 Kalle, I noticed that too. The sheer number of paid apparently leftist ads, not just here. They must have a problem getting their message across :-) |

| #12 Maybe Ted Kennedy could visit and they could go for a drive along the coast. Chavez would never expect a fellow socialist. |

| #11 Chavez is a danger there is no doubt but, so are the oligarchs he is threatening. Columbia will act if he is found to be interacting with the FARC in any concrete way. There is always the off hand chance the Hugo has an accident too.v Then he will become a hero of the "revolution" which the army will put on hold, forever. |

| #10 Is it useful to click/view on all leftist ads to the right? they're paying RB thru Google, right? |

| #9 The way to save Venezuela from Chavez is to nominate him to SCOTUS. Would he be willing to give up the uniform and write opinions for the enactment of socialism? |

| #8 SPoD You forget that neighboring Colombia has it's fair share of Marxist rebels, Bolivia and Ecuador might tip over, Brazil has a leftist government with some ego issues. And they are cuddling up with OPEC countries. Make no mistake, Chavez is dangerous. |

| #7 This is how Chavez has become the current darling of the Socialist Fuckwits. Well Chavez and the U.S. S.Ct. who, after all, didn't see the need to limit themselves to the seizure of "idle firms". |

| #6 I don't think Chavez has the advantage of living on an island as Castro does. His neighbors will not be passive to his brand of socialism. His oil wealth might buy him many things, however it can't buy him peace. He will never be satisfied in not exporting his ideology. He is a class A megalomanic. It's a recipe for strife and warfare. |

| #5 What would you do about him if you were Bush and/or German PM? Go anonymous, if needed, lol! It's hard to imagine anyone could be so stupid as to vote for this throwback. Purest avarice is the only motive I can see, besides insanity, of course. |

| #4 Chavez could become more dangerous than Che Guevara (as an idol) because the utter failures of his politics are masked by ever rising oil prices. Right now Venezuela should be filthy rich but it's getting poorer and poorer while the Chavistas get fatter. |

| #2 Chaved did declare yesterday that Venezuela is following socialism, and it's clear he cherishes the Cuban "shining" example. Don't wait until it's too late, dear people of Venezuela. Once you got the commies in your house, they stay for a long long time. 47 years and counting in Cuba. |
