Consistent with the collectivist ideas of Karl Marx, and the failed policies of past collapsed communist regimes, Venezuela remains in goosestep with the policies set forth by the country's late, dictatorial leader, Hugo Chavez. Accused to keeping its retail prices too high, "Daka," the country's equivalent of Best Buy, is being forced by the Venezuelan government to reduce its prices.
Thousands of shoppers lined up outside to seek bargains as armed members of Venezuela's National Guard looked on, present in order to keep the shopping rush under control.
President Nicolás Maduro claims an "economic war" is being waged against his country, with the help of Washington.
Socialists always blame the capitalists. . . because it couldn't possibly be the fault of a socialist system in place that punishes producers, and overextends what it pays into entitlement programs.
"I want a Sony plasma television for the house," said Amanda Lisboa, 34, a business administrator, who had waited seven hours already outside one Caracas store. "It's going to be so cheap!"
Socialism in Britain has led citizens to freezing temperatures because they cannot afford the rising energy costs - a direct result of green taxes and climate change regulations, rather than the corporate greed the British population is blaming the "Big Six" power companies of having. In Venezuela, I have a feeling that Amanda Lisboa, under the tightening grip of governmental control, may soon not be able to afford the electricity needed to turn on her new television.
Either that, or she may be very disappointed when State-run networks continue to eliminate the programs she bought the TV to watch.
