Quote from Pekelo:
Funny you say that after responding to a post showing that he already is.
But OK, let's say he is not going to be altruistic. For the average Venezuelan what difference does it make if the country's oilwealth is taken by foreign companies or a local dictator?
In the 2nd case at least is their own bastard...
P.S.: For those who are bitching about the nationalization here is a quiz:
Name the countries among the top 20 oilexporters where the oilindustry HAS NOT BEEN nationalized...
He is not altruistic at all. He is nationalizing the most beautiful farms in the country and you can't tell me they are not for his personal use. Give him 5 years of splendid wealth and millions of people in his employ in his nationalized industries and he will drop marxism like a bad habit. If he doesn't somebody close to him will see how great it is and take over the leadership. The only possible outcoome for a marxist dictatorship is a Stalin taking over. It could take a year, it could take a few decades, there is on other possible outcome. He either has to become a Stalin or give way to one.
