@RemiMonaghan Nooo. I must seen it. I love raccoons.

US media persist in calling him a socialist when in fact the greatest threat to Venezuelan Communitarianism is the socialist groups and secondarily the old oligarchs.
While most assuredly not a radical free market devotee today in Venezuela there are tens of thousands more small individualy owned small buiness that got their seed money training and further support from government funds than ever in its history.
If Chavez were to go the socialist will in all likelyhood tear the nation apart and eventually place it right back into oligarchs and foreign dominence once again.
