I don't think you quite understand that communism and its little brother socialism are failed forms of controlling a people. Despite corporation-ism (or atleast your fear of it), they don't control the government entirely, nor its people. Communism and socialism, however, seek to ensure the people are 100% dependant on their government for everything (such as food), therefore they cannot demonstrate, or rebel against the government.
Now, if you want to think communism is fine, but I think 200,000,000 dead Russians and Chinese disagree.
Regardless, Chavez's ideas and semantics haven't helped the Venezualan people. There was a 9% drop in GDP rate in 2002, and 2003, and has only recovered due to oil (30% of their entire GDP production) is so high per barrel.
They also "enjoy" a 12.2% unemployment rate, as well as 50% of the population below the poverty line. Instead of trying to use the oil money as capital to start new growth ventures to give these people jobs, he instead takes some of the cash, and the feeds them, making them rely on the government rather than themselves for self-sufficency.
Von, exactly how many women get murdered by the government each day in SA because of the lack of womens rights?
Back from the dead, I'm afraid.
