tsk. Capitalists value people and communists do not? Wow. I have been looking over http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Venezuela#Current_political_events and see no indication that the Venezualans are locking people up without trial, or conducting an unnecessary war anywhere.... I'd like you to expand on that theme a little ;) Is Chavez even a communist?
As for oil... huh. I see that they are part of OPEC. What is your definition of "market price"? Apparently not the same as OPEC's ;) I don't want to sign on as saying I think the guy is a saint -- I doubt most politicians qualify for that -- but so far he seems to be representing his people rather better than Bush, from what I am looking at here....
