Hugo Chavez, Not Dead Enough

Forward!

Venezuela’s socialist government has arrested more than 100 “bourgeois” businessmen in a crackdown on alleged price-gouging at hundreds of shops and companies since the weekend, President Nicolas Maduro said on Thursday.
“They are barbaric, these capitalist parasites!” Maduro thundered in the latest of his lengthy daily speeches. “We have more than 100 of the bourgeoisie behind bars at the moment.”

  1. The hungrier the people get, the less tasty is the relentless diet of socialist speeches and communist policies.

  2. “They are barbaric, these capitalist parasites!”
    The Democratic Party platform, in a nutshell.

  3. “The successor to the late Hugo Chavez also said his government was preparing a law to limit Venezuelan businesses’ profits to between 15 percent and 30 percent.”
    Wage and price controls were tried here once,can’t remember which PM was in power,probably Diefenbaker or Mulroney,maybe Joe Clark, but it didn’t work out too well.
    Obama should bail out his fellow socialist, it’s his duty to the comintern.

  4. The glory that is communism. I predict a military dictatorship in the short term future but then that won’t be much different then what they currently have. I would feel sorry for the citizens, if they hadn’t done it to themselves. Maybe Obama could go south and be their president for life, after he’s finished destroying his country.

    That be Justin’s Dead Daddy. The idiot Stanfield campaigned on wage and price controls while Trudeau poo-pooed it. When Slimeball Trudeau won, he instituted wage and price controls.
    The government creates inflation by monetary and fiscal policies and then tries to stop it by legislation which is bound to fail. Idiots, idiots, idiots.

  6. “They are barbaric, these capitalist parasites!”
    Now where have we heard that before? The actions of this communist government will end just like the others have and the people will suffer.

  7. I guess no one in Venezuela has ever read the history of Communist Russia.
    “Those who do not remember the past are condemned to repeat it.”

  8. 6 and 5 was the well known slogan: Search “6 and 5 wage control trudeau” for plenty of articles on the subject.

  9. Here come the midnight visits. The Socorro fields filled with eventually missing people.
    Specialism’s final death spasm in a genocide . It always ends that way.

    True enough but when did the truth ever stop Turdeau senior?
    When Joe ‘Bumbles’ Clark ran a campaign against Turdeau it was about increasing the road tax by 2 cents. I always called it the 2 cent election. As soon as Turdeau won he upped the tax by 10 cents!
    Knowing the Liebels were increasing fuel cost by 10 cents a gallon I bought 200,000 gallons and made a handy little profit. I guess I am one of those Capitalist that the Venezulans are arresting. When it was discovered that I had profited by this purchase and resale both the federal government and the oil company supplier demanded that money. I drug it out for a year but under multiple threats I ended up paying the oil company.

  11. Lets lock up our productive people and reward the useless louts..
    Who in their right mind thinks you can buy a big screen TV for 50 dollars on the global open market.. Who would make not being able to do so a criminal offence..
    Your breaking the law by bringing the going rate to Venezuela!
    I wonder if they get their arms for ten cents on the dollar? Those bourgeois arms dealers must be taking advantage of the Venezuelan people..
    I think they should lock up El Presidente for paying the going rate..

  12. Not any different than what happens in the US after any major disaster. The governments come in and enforce “price gouging” laws.
