Interesting---the Chavez government seems to impose some kind of sharecropping system on farmers. It makes good sense that with waning support in his own country, he came looking for a jumpstart here but instead found a last hurrah in his UN showboating. This guy is doomed: it's as though his unspoken fantasy was to be forcefully installed as President of the United States with the help of Harlem and Danny GLover.
I wonder if his party gets a cut.
Leasing to the peasants means his "land reform" can be yanked away from them.
