Jimmah must be so proud.

Mugabe' must be proud.

Sounds somewhat similar to what a town in Connecticut is doing in the Kelo case which the Supreme Court will affirm in a decision to be handed down in June.

"to develop state-sponsored agriculture projects."

Starvation and disease are a-comin to Venezuela - The logical and historical outcome of all attempts at State Collectivization.

Britain should seize assets commensurate with the Chavez theft. Chavez is visiting more not less poverty upon his politically repressed populace. Stalinism seldom feeds anyone.

Cities do this all the time in the US. They "condemn" a city block by claiming it is a blight, so they can give the land to a developer to build a hirise hotel. That's what a redevelopment zone is, generally.

Why is this news? That's what communists do. They take from people. Whether it's your land, your money, or your life, it doesn't matter. What's so hard to understand? Heck, we had a living laboratory for the last 77 years!

Communism hasn't worked ANYWHERE (a leftist would say the right people weren't in charge, or not enough of the intellectuals were killed, or there wasn't enough money).

Chavez and Castro are anachronisms. Hopefully Fidel will die from a bullet, and Hugo will be exiled to Iran.

It's about time to see how many chin ups the fat little pointy toothed cannibal can do hanging off the skid of a Huey, about a thousand feet AGL. Rather than selling oil to all takers at the world price, he wants to play the vandal against us. He is playing footsie with the worlds most dangerous thugs, the mainland chicommies and sundry drug peddlers closer to home. Not a good career move. Apparently no one has told the little pointy toothed cannibal about the Monroe Doctrine. Soon he'll be learning all about it, the hard way.

Scary stuff........and our attention is in the Middle East right now. This guys a friggin' clown.

[fella]

Communizing land. Who would of thought that someone who rubs elbows with Castro would do such a thing. Next comes the organized starvation of certain segments of the population. It should only take about 3 months.

[Fast1]

Yes by all means take from the Bad white man! Sarcasm

[henderson field]

Sounds like creeping Zimbabwe-ism.

[feedback doctor]

Change the country, dates, and names, and we have Stalin, Russia, and the 1930s to produce forced collectivization.

[Ursus arctos horribilis]

Mugabe with crude oil.

[Travis McGee]

But he said the measures were not expropriations because the land was public. The government must pay compensation at market price for any land it expropriates, but not if the land is judged to belong to the state.

This type of "land reform" is a key part of my second novel, only it takes place in New Mexico instead of Venezuela.

This is an incident which makes one nostalgic for the 19th century - in those days, we would have sent a gunboat.
