Today, the seizure of private property. Tomorrow the pogroms.

They can just claim "eminent domain", like they plan to do in Texas.

This is a lot worse than eminent domain. This is communization and collectivization. Even if the British ranch manages to hang on to a portion of its land, it will be told by a 'collective' which crops it can grow. This is communist power in action

I wonder if Chavez didn't pick a British ranch to challenge to test Britain because of the Falklands, I'd love to see Tony Blair turn Hugo Chavez into General Galtieri.

That's next. Maybe it's why they want this ranch as their own in the first place. Reeducation camps need land.

Standard fare sovietization. They have to appropriate the farms so they can inflict terror famines. Next come the forced labor camps. After that they can destroy the trade unions that put them in power. Ever communist regieme for that past 80 years has begun this way. Stalin was the pioneer. It's amazing nobody has ever learned from history.

The difference between seizing a ranch in Venezuela and the seizure of homes in New London is negligible. In Venezuela, the property goes to the state, in New London, people are being forced from their homes so that the property can be turned over to Pfizer.

Governor Perry seems to have concluded that tax revenues for Texas are more important than the people forced from their ranches so the property can be turned over to a Spanish company.

In New London Texas, you have a fighting chance for justice, either through the courts, through the ballot box or through the legislature. In Venezuela, you haven't got a snowball's chance in Caracas.
