Venezuela to reassign private, public workers to agriculture

[DetlefK]

2. Like Communism in Eastern Europe.

You were expected to work in the fields X days a year for the glory of the country or whatever. It was sold to school-children as a school-project.



I always have the feeling that Venezuela will end up like Romania:
- An out-of-touch ruler who doesn't realize how bad things are.
- Massive anti-government protests.
- The ruler gives a major speech that has nothing to do with what the people really want.
- Violent uprising, 1 week of war in the streets.
- A new, weak, corrupt, capitalistic, democratically elected government, but at least things aren't as bad as under socialism.
