Caracas, Jan 25 (IANS/EFE) Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez has asked for the cooperation of the national legislature in drafting laws permitting the elimination of capitalistic operating guidelines at public firms.
Chavez on his weekly radio and television show Sunday revealed the societal model he envisions, according to which public firms will not depend on their established production capacity or on the quality of their products, their costs, or their sales, because their survival will be guaranteed by an annual budget provided by the state.
With their operations assured in this way, the firm will not sell its products in the open market but rather will deliver them to a state entity which will undertake to market them at prices whereby the value added is eliminated.
According to Chavez's idea, the consumer goods that are sold to the public in this way will be much cheaper but will be of similar quality to those offered by capitalist-run firms.

Well, to finance government spending, just create money like Germany did in the early 1920’s.
Hugo knows how well this works in Cuba.
I think the US about to just start printing cuz I think China is about out of borrowing power.
A lot of stuff is going to be shifted to the black market.
As long s there are productive countries/productive people to generate OPM (other peoples money) to steal, communists and socialists can survive. Not thrive, but survive.
The man is a genius!
He has solved the age-old “economic question”.
Truly, he is the New Bolivar - the Liberator of the Nations and Peoples.
We are fortunate to breathe the same air.
Chevez needs a little Cap & Trade. Someone cap his A$$ and trade him for a good leader
You maybe right.
I was thinking the same thing. And I will bet you someone uses the phrase "Finally someone is doing the right thing about destroying capitalism". As if countries from the Soviet Union to China to Zimbabwe haven't done this same thing resulting in disasters that took generations to overcome.
Working to turn Venezuela into another Haiti.
or “finally someone will do it right”
of course Hugo isn’t even smarter than a fourth grader.
When Venezuela completely implodes, the U.S. media will describe it as “unexpected.”
Some day soon, they may be able to compete with North Korea as hell-hole of the planet.
