   In every situation that I see the brave hearted Venezuelan people going against a regime that would readily imprison them-I say a prayer for their safety.

   I also see bravery here in the U.S. and pray for those willing to openly take a stand against the power of those who would destroy us by implementing socialism – thus putting themselves in absolute power.

   socialism/communism there is an economic elite (under 5%) that rules while the remaining citizens are poor. yes, there is great hypocrisy from that end of the spectrum. re-distribution of wealth to them not the remaining 95% of the population. the ‘we are all common’ remain impoverished and unable to find a carton of milk in the capital city of venezuela because communism/socialism works so well.

   Too funny! Kate practically blogged this story live at her site, with some great perspective, two days ago.

   She’s posting a hilarious “Viva la Revovuitton!” cartoon today.

    Maybe add in something about a $400 haircut.

    Kate (my source for the “Che-Viva la Revovuitton” cartoon) also reports that the “lowly reporter” who asked the Gucci question was from RCTV, the same channel shut down by Hugo Chavaz at the end of May.

    I suppose that revenge is a “satellite” dish best served cold.

    As it says in Animal Farm “All animals are equal, some are just more equal than others.” IIRC it was the pig that said it. How fitting.

    Four legs good, two legs better.

    Seriously though, what kind of socialist laments the dirth of locally produced luxury items that fat cat capitalist exploiters tend to enjoy? Is he seriously decrying the fact that Venezuela doesn’t engage in more production for profit rather than production for use?

    Does he truly look forward to a time when Venezuela produces more worthless frippery and more fully embraces commodity fetishism? How would Venezuelan-produced Gucci-style shoes and Louis Vuitton-style apparel help create conditions more conducive to the emergence of proletarian class consciousness?

    Those Venezuelan communists are pale shadows. History truly does repeat itself as farce.

    Noted, you should do this in English next time so everyone can see you are brilliant!!!!

    Translation (i think, with my limited Spanish and obvious literal barriers)

    “I would like to compliment the Commander Carreno in his ability to match his red tie and suit to his faulty reasoning.”

    Good post.
