		<description><![CDATA[First of all Venezuela is not socialist. Many claimed to be socialist, from Gaddafi to Allende. But when you look at Venezuela you see not socialism but a mixture of Stalinist style planning with no democratic participation from workers and peasants. It is all about bureaucratic state planning, which cannot meet the demands of the people. This is because a bureaucratic planned economy cannot work. You need democratic decentralized planning and free workers participation in the process. But this was always opposed by the Chavez government, who looked to Cuba for its &#039;&#039;socialist&#039;&#039; model. But we revolutionary socialists never called Cuba genuine socialist. 

Also we must not forget that Venezuela kept the ruling class alive. The capitalists of Venezuela were never fully expropriated. Hugo Chavez only nationalized parts of the economy and kept other parts in the hands of the old bourgeoisie, who hated him to the core. 

Hugo Chavez also mixed Venezulean nationalism into his &#039;&#039;21st centruy socialism&#039;&#039;. He used Simon Bolivar ( a liberal ) as a propaganda icon and called his ideology bolivarianism. Although some elements of bolivarianism are Marxist socialist, many are not. Hugo Chavez was much closer to a style that looks like Arab-socialism of Nasser. 

Workers of Venezeula need to take power for themselves. They must abolish capitalism and end the red-tape state bureaucracy that Chavez created. Socialism is not about state rule, socialism is about workers rule through democratic elected soviets ( workers councils ).]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This toilet paper problem is reality.  The Soviets had all kinds of shortages.  In a true capitalist  system free enterprise allows market to adjust.  Governments are notoriously inefficient when government run a business such as the post office.  Governmnets especially socialist and communist are inflexible.  This inflexibility will become apparent when Obamacare kicks.in.   ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Math Test: 
There are about 30 million people in Venezuela. Their government is going to import 50 million rolls of toilet paper, with each roll of toilet paper containing 400 sheets. If the government allots each man woman and child a specific number of sheets of toilet paper, will the Venezuelan leaders run out of toilet paper first because they are full of shat?
