Aaah yes, the command economy, as practiced by the Soviets, the Cubans and the Maoists has been such a success, time and time again. Yet, in 10 years, when Venezuela is bankrupt, Chavez has absconded with all of their cash, and the people are starving, it'll be you Leftists claiming it's all capitalism's fault and we owe it to them to rebuild their country and offer them IMF loans (that they shouldn't have to pay back). Looking at the whole cycle like that, maybe I'm wrong... maybe income redistribution does work... Socialists piss all their money away and Capitalists come along and give it back to them.
