I would like to disagree.
Commuism is a form of slavery and you cannot enslave people forever.
Originally posted by Rajk999Yes I have. And the way you put that suggests to me that you are going to pretend that you have too. But you're just bluffing. I live in Indonesia. It's a capitalist country. A sweatshop for the capitalist system, in fact. An engine room. I can see the reality all around me. Believe you me, capitalism is a form of slavery too. You should travel around the world a little. Broaden your horizons.
Have you Been to Cuba ?
Go see it and then we will talk.

From my view he is simply in the business of consolidating power towards his regime and setting himself up as dictator of Venezuela. The average schmoe will be no better off with Hugo than with capitalist exploitation.

Most of the thousand opon thousands of Cubans that make it to south Florida on make shift rafts and whatever they can find to float on, will tell you that and the words they most often use are F@#k Fidel.
