I presume that Hugo Chavez’ Presidential Palace has only a single fridge as well.

I predict the next step will be Chavez emptying out the cities to the countryside ala the Khmer Rouge.

I’m sure everyone in Venezuela is receiving this quite well, and are gladly giving up their extra bedrooms to others. Anyone else reminded of “Dr. Zhivago” when Zhivago returns home after the Revolution to find several families living in his house? Thanks for mentioning my favorite movie of all time. I still use it in my classroom, and the scene you mention is what I use to show how instantaneous the "sharing of the misery", as noted by Churchill, can be! Thanks again.

Only a fool could not see where this is headed.
Within 5 years the world will be questioning why America is not intervening on behalf of the people who put him in power.
Dictators always take control by claiming to be for the oppressed, only to turn around and become the oppressor on a far more destructive scale.

A socialist is someone who has nothing, and wants to share it with everybody.

So, let me see if I understand communism. If you have two houses, you will give me one?
Yes.
And if you have two cars, you will give me one of them?
That's correct.
And if you have two suits, you will give me the extra one?
No.
Why not?
I have two suits

I first heard this in the early 1950s and it is at least 30 years older than that. This is an example of what happens when history is not taught.

I don’t know if it’s next, but if the Venezuelans don’t cooperate, if they keep seriously protesting, there’s going to be blood in the streets. It’s time for people in V to start seriously considering sacrificing their lives to stop this madman. Easy to say, I know.
