Socialist leader Chavez said he was making the move because the land was being used to grow eucalyptus, a cardboard component, instead of food in violation of Venezuelan law.

"Imho Chavez has a max of 2 years before they overthrow and install someone new..

I hope you're right. Things can change in a hurry down south of the boarder. But, right now he seems to have a good grip on the reigns of power.

Socialism is when the government buys a business and runs it into the ground. Communism is when the government seizes a business and runs it into the ground.

“Can we give them emperor Zero?”

That would be a move down for them.

Well put.

"Chavez pledged that his country would 'stay by Iran at any time and under any condition,' state television reported. Ahmadinejad said he saw in Chavez a kindred spirit." "'We do not have any limitation in cooperation,' Ahmadinejad was quoted as saying. 'Iran and Venezuela are next to each other and supporters of each other. Chavez is a source of a progressive and revolutionary current in South America and his stance in restricting imperialism is tangible.'":

But Jimmy Carter loves Hugo and said all of his elections are fair???

My guess is if O is not given the boot by SCOTUS soon for his Kenyan BC then we will be in worse shape then Venezuela in 2 years or less.

You would think a bunch of rich guys would just hire a private army to take care of business.

Its not like those types aren't out there.

I am trying to be positive,but considering that Pos Mugabe has hung on so long while destroying a country who knows..

[RushingWater]

I’m afraid the progression of famine is now in play as the gov’t gets more and more involved in controlling the food market.

Hah, we are stupid enough to elect Obama and Venezuela was stupid enough to elect (and re-elect) Chavez!

You would think a bunch of rich guys would just hire a private army to take care of business.

Unfortunately a lot of those rich guys are too busy bringing socialism to the little people of the world. Think George Soros, Ted Turner etc.

There’s a nasty war in Zimbabwe’s future when that scumbag Mugabe finally does his duty and dies.

” Venezuela’s Chavista-dominated Nationality Assembly passed a law two years later giving the state power to seized underused farmland. “

Once tinfoil land, obviously it’s now it’s possible we could see this someday :

” The Democrat dominated Congress passed a law giving the state power to seized underused farmland. “

The man who (once) owned the land is named Michale Smurfit. From the article...

“He is estimated to be worth more than £400 million and has been honoured by the government of Venezuela for his charitable work.”

This is what happens when you snuggle up to Socialist thugs.
