Thing is the regime in Venezuela is very much in the mold of Castro. IE the populist rebel strong man of socialism. Who runs a highly centralized government. And yes it was kind of a relic of a bygone age when Chavez set it up 10 years ago.
Ah, Chavez and Castro, the heroes of Britain's own Jeremy Corbyn, who appeals to the UK's own brand of leftists who want a populist rebel strong man. Who also runs a highly centralised shadow government. I bet Chavez wishes he were as rich as Chavez's daughter though. The sworn enemy of big business idolises a man whose embezzlement has left his daughter the richest person in the country. 4.2bn USD.
