LOL - committees? What's next, ‘five year plans’?

I guessing ‘committees’ will favor themselves - and their friends, family members and those who 'offer favors'... Then when ‘the people’ start to revolt the government will use the unfairness as an excuse to purge the folks they don't like out of the party...

Maybe a few show trials and killings... Kafka meets Stalin meets the Chinese Cultural Revolution...

Socialism has it's patterns...

Bernie must be jealous. If he’d beaten Hillary he could still dream of running that program in the US a year from now. It’s like they’re rubbing it in his face by announcing the program so soon after he lost the primaries so he can see someone else living his dream.

In Bolshevik Russia they were called “Food Confiscation Committees”.

Sounds just like the type of committe the liberals here in the USA would create, to go after preppers/hoarders, when things collapse

That kind of central planning always works out well... For the party loyalists... The rest of the country will starve.

Party loyalists will eat well, everyone else less so. Famine is in real prospect.

Barrios full of Chavista supporters get the grub, whereas opposition neighborhoods get nothing. An old scheme used by almost every third-world hell-hole.

This is the fate of every state run according Robin Hood-style economics. When the treasury is finally completely looted, they resort to giving away loaves of bread and lumps of coal. When that runs out, and their supporters demand something, anything, they give them bullets and barbed wire.

I expected to see a bloody revolution by now. If the masses are going to starve to death, they have little to lose by revolting.
