#1 Chavez could have introduced some of the more reasonable communist ideals into Venezuela society several years ago, like those that the young Israeli state began with in 1948, which achieved both a sort of parity between the haves and the have-nots, and turned Israel into the robust intellectual and economic nation that we see today.

Instead, Chavez follows the Stalinist and Castroist paradigm, one of excessive central control, an imperialist control supplanted upon a communist ideal (one important highlight of Marxist ideology was the continuous overthrow of political power). Unfortunately for Venezuela, leaders like Chavez develop enemies like horses attract flies, and they canât give up their power without being killed.

2010-2011 forecast for Venezuela: a continued US-caused drought, much more rationing (ala Cuba), and summary executions.

#2 Chavez would never have implemented the socialist/Zionist model: it would have left people with the option to vote him out.

#3 Coveting thy neighbors wealth, stealing thy neighbors wealth, and bearing false witness will indeed develop 'enemies'.

Socialism - 100 million dead in the 20th Century and still counting.

#5 This is the hero to the watermelons in Copenhagen including our O'bambi.

It will certainly be a change when we run out of electricity...hope I don't freeze.
