How long till the Castroization of Venezuela is complete?
Here's what Chavez was doing yesterday (when he wasn't threatening to nationalize a steel company):
"Earlier Saturday -- which Chavez noted coincided with Karl Marx's birthday -- the Venezuelan leader drove a red Volkswagen bug to a poor Caracas slum where he officially registered with a movement to create a single, pro-Chavez ruling party: the United Socialist Party of Venezuela.
A close ally of Cuban leader Fidel Castro, Chavez argues Venezuela needs a single socialist party to rein in political interests and more efficiently lead his movement. Many analysts call it an effort to consolidate party control.
"If any rich person wants to become a member of the United Socialist Party of Venezuela, he will be welcome but he must begin by setting aside his wealth to the fight against misery," Chavez said as he repeatedly invoked the communist ideals of Marx and Leon Trotsky.
Chavez also blasted Venezuela's Communist Party and other allies who have resisted joining the single par Additional Details Looks like Chavez has succeded in cowing some of you. That's some idea the two of you have: don't say anything. I guess Herr Hugo will shoot you if you do. Let me splain something to you two Lucys - here, in the US, YOU CAN SAY ANYTHING YOU WANT TO!! I suspect that you two Chavez supporters don't want anyone to say anything about HUGO - and for good reason. He's a brutal dictator. Fortunately, he'll likely be eliminated shortly in one of those famous Sout American coups.
Hi, I'm from venezuela, and this is a thing that concerns everybody, people from USA, people from south amerca, everybody, this f**** dictator is ruin our country, he is ruin all the venezuelans.

Castro stole property of Americans without compensation. He should have thought about that before the retaliatory embargo. The 183 nations that voted against the embargo can properly remunerate those that lost property if they want to put their money where there mouth is. The votes didn't cost anything, that's where their moral superiority came in.
Chavez will be offed before he makes it that far.

Chavez and venezuela is none of your business. If you think every country should be run according to your likings then you are in for a big surprise. Latin American countries are increasingly choosing their own paths and that's their right.

Well if I remember correctly from the post Bastista revolution... it will be when the rich of Venezula transfer their money out of the country and leave for the States. Nobody can be President and Robin Hood too. It will be interesting to watch what follows now.

Maybe if the embargo that has been in place for 40 odd years against Cuba then things would change.
Cuba has sent thousands of doctors into the poor regions of Venezuela in exchange for commodities.
I believe 183 nations voted AGAINST the embargo so much for your united nations - maybe that is why Castro is ally with Venezuela.
Like the previous answer - keep your nose out of things that do not concern you - or you do not understand

Depends on how long Americans continue to buy CITGO gasoline. Every time you buy it you are helping out this guy.
