Workers' Paradise: Venezuela

Just as I feared. Hugo Chavez gets his economic theories from Sean Penn:

Venezuelan troops seize food
Jan 24, 2008 12:14 PM

Venezuela's top food company has accused troops of illegally seizing more than 500 tonnes of food from its trucks as part of President Hugo Chavez's campaign to stem shortages.

The leftist Chavez this week created a state food distributor and loosened some price controls, seeking to end months of shortages for staples like milk and eggs that have caused long lines and upset his supporters in the OPEC nation.
Empty the trucks, and when they fill up, empty them again. Cornucopia! Unless the guy who owns the food company knows math. Then, there's the slight chance he's going to stop filling the trucks with food.

"In that case we shoot him. Cornucopia!"
