Looks like one of those "neo-liberal" Kerry Ketchup plants is going down.

And Chavez won't stop until Venezuela is as "rich" as Cuba.

There was a story on Bloomberg the other day (which we can't post here) that one of the factories being seized is a Heinz factory.

---Regarding the lawfulness of these moves, the national coordinator of UNT claimed that "we seize the plant first, and then try to solve the issue of ownership, as there is always a reason for takeover."---
The reason always used "Hugo wants it".

Jessie Jackson's recent visit must have given him some good advise on corporate shakedowns, and of course Chavez also uses miltary force.

Well... Kerry wanted the UN to handle Iraq. The UN can handle is Ketchup plant.
Could this have possibly been an outsourced plant? NOOOO.

In other words, the ends justifies the means.
The people of Venezuela better wise up soon or they will be suffering from a communist dictatorship for a long time.

I'm thinking they mean "neo-liberal" in the European sense, i.e. someone with a respect for property rights.
It's amusing to see the steady, predictable progress of Chavez along long-discredited lines of socialist economic practice. Venezuela had a fairly diverse economy before Chavez came along. His plan, like every socialist before him, is to steal what can be stolen and milk what can be milked. Oil can be milked for a very long time, but that limits Venezuela's economic development to that of an extraction economy.
There are advantages to this from a socialist point of view - an extraction economy is easy to control and to direct its surpluses toward Party goals. The disadvantage is that if oil fails the country has no recourse and instantly becomes an economic basket case. What happens next after that is what has happened with the failure of agriculture in Zimbabwe - dwindling surpluses will be expropriated by the state and doled out to fewer and fewer people. The rest will do without.

How about we seize Citgo gas stations?

"Or as rich as Saudi Arabia. He has oil, remember?"
So does Mexico but it has nationalized its oil companies years ago. Is Mexico rich?

Is Willie Green his economics czar? I think it's Robert Mugabe.

Oh yeah, nationalizing private industry has worked quite well in the past. I smell a dictator.
