#1 Simon Bolivar was the original "benevolent dictator", who seized the government to stop the corrupt bureaucrats from stealing the works. He, himself, as a role model for ambitious generals, is responsible for every military junta to plague SA for the last 200 years.

Thanks, Simon. Whadda guy.

#2 Which is why you do not invest in "Socalist" societies. Giant sucking sounds in the universe, like black holes. No light can exist there.

#7 Mr. Chavez's regime is extremely corrupt. There won't be blanket seizures of second homes, art, or expensive cars because he and his followers own many of them.

Seizures will be reserved for those who oppose his regime.

#8 ...Ya know,I believe him. He's not going to seize anything.
He's just going to send a group of quiet and polite soldiers to your home with a list of property, and then they will ask if you'd like to donate said property to la Revolucion.

#11 Bob just didn't do it right, DMFD. If he'd screamed about Satan and sulfur at the UN like Chavez, maybe it would've worked then! /sarc.
