Chavez has pressed state-owned companies to increase production for the local market so the country can reduce imports.
I was unaware of socialism increasing anything BUT scarcity

Sounds like the newest Five Year Plan is in full swing in Cuba Lite...

Classic socialist approach, predicated on the misapprehension that material goods constitute wealth. These are classic extraction economies - oil, diamonds, gold - and are as such incapable of developing other economic activity by central fiat, which is the economic model Chavez favors. Taking them from the hands of independent operators stifles whatever secondary economic activity they now provide.
Chavez thinks he's building a Cuba with oil. He isn't. He's building a Zimbabwe.

I think that every liberal desperately needs to pay attention to things unfolding down there. Perfect chance to see the net result of all their 'anti-capitalist' nonsense. Unless they truly believe that poverty and starvation are good things.

I think that every liberal desperately needs to pay attention to things unfolding down there. True, but they are blind to it. There are already several communist disasters they've ignored. This one won't be any more visible to them.
Their hope is that one of these centuries, someone will do communism right and then they'll be able to say "see, I told you so."

It is a horrible read. I actually read it through, enjoyed the premise and characters, but was frankly embarrassed by the amateurish attempt at a novel. If she would have let someone with writing talent take her ideas, and put them to paper, it would have been much easier to digest. It is like a post on FR without paragraphs.

"Sounds like"? The only possible difference would be if no miners are named Francisco D'Anconia.

Not quite. Cuba teamed up with the failed USSR. Chavez however has endorsed an adapted version of "free trade" just like China's and is teaming up with the economic powerhouse, China. No, the odds are much more in his favor than they were in Castros.
He will also exploit the indian population in America, much like Morales in Bolivia.

Can you do one with Hu Jintao?
Bolivian President-elect Evo Morales (L) meets Chinese President Hu Jintao at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing January 9, 2006. Morales arrived in China on Sunday after brief visits to France, Brazil and Venezuela as he seeks support on the world stage before taking up office.

It had to be small because any bigger and it would have taken forever to download.
