Venezuela’s President Hugo Chavez announced that the takeover of Fertinitro, one of the world’s main producers of nitrogen fertilizer, days after vowing to radicalize his socialist “revolution” following legislative elections last month.

Koch has a 35 per cent stake in Fertinitro and Venezuelan state-run petrochemicals company Pequiven has 35 per cent. Saipem, a unit of Italy’s Eni, holds 20 per cent and local brewer and food company Polar has the rest.

Venezuela’s Oil Minister Rafael Ramirez said the nationalization of Fertinitro guaranteed the government access to all the fertilizer it needed for farmers and a nationwide seeding plan that would ensure abundant, cheap food for all.

“The Koch company grabbed all our fertiliser and was selling it abroad at speculative prices,” Ramirez told workers on Monday at the Fertinitro plant in eastern Anzoategui state.

“We must break the oligopolies, monopolies, concentration of land in a few hands,” he wrote via his Twitter account. “We must connect the city with the countryside! Land is the most important of the productive forces. The Agrarian Revolution”.

2. Koch Industries plans USA takeover

PODUNK - The Koch brothers today smirked in satisfaction as they looked out over the fruited plains and beheld the vast array of TeaBagliCon suckers who have allowed themselves to be duped into advocating against themselves and for the interests of FatCat Republicon Cronies.

"We are damned pleased at the vast number of sucker TeaBagliCons who have gulped down the Fox 'news' (R) kool aid propaganda, and who are diligently working against their own interests," the Kochs sayeth, before belching out a snarky "Ha ha" in unison.

7. Those are the same people that tell us never to trust the mainstream media when it's about Democrats

But then these same people turn around and buy everything the mainstream media tells them about Chavez. :crazy:

4. The Koch brothers are the folks Gen Smedly Butler warned us about

5. Just wait until Communist China decides to nationalize all those factories

American corporations have shipped over to China.

6. China probably won't nationalize the foreign factories

They'll just have corrupt local officials "confiscate" them and run them for personal profit.

China isn't really Communist anymore, except in name only. They're more fascist than anything else.
