"Collective Property" in VZ
http://www.iht.com/articles/ap/2007/03/25/america/LA-GEN-Venezuela-Chavez.php
Just another step in Venezuela's "Maximum Revolution."
Revolution... what a farce.
[You know, sometimes when I write a song, and go on to sing it for a number of years, it's hard to say the words with the same feeling. They come out so easily that I can only think about their meaning if I really concentrate on it. I feel the same way about my anti-communist rhetoric. I've said this stuff so many times, it's difficult to reiterate the message with the same urgency, again and again and again...]
For the last time (yeah right), Communism presents not the slightest idea for wealth generation. It is a system of wealth redistribution and nothing more. Whereas Capitalism describes a natural process of wealth creation and a resulting natural distribution of wealth, Communism presupposes wealth capitalistically generated, and operates exclusively on the level of redistributing it. So if a communistic economy is failing, it is because the supply of capital has been cut off; by the same token, if it is succeeding, it is because of a continual supply of wealth generated capitalistically.
And everybody knows it! Cuban communists will readily explain that the reason the island is languishing in poverty is the embargo. But if Communism were a viable economic system, Castro should be thrilled that the corrupting influence of Capitalism was blocked off. In reality, the existence of incoming wealth from capitalistic governments is what helps Communists preserve the illusion that any form of prosperity is even possible within their system.
Life under that illusion is precisely what the United States continues to provide Venezuela, which is only in business because we keep buying their oil.

"Let the thief no longer steal, but rather let him labor, doing honest work with his own hands, so that he may have something to share with anyone in need."
- Ephesians 4:28
This passage must be one of the greatest explanations of how we should structure our economic thought. If you want to help the poor, and you ought, then you first need to produce something of value. That implies that any economic system based on consumption is incapable of providing for the poor. It should not surprise us then that evil men use high and mighty rhetoric to hide what socialism really is: a system of property theft in which the ruler steals from his citizens for his own benefit.
Of course, democracy is not much better. At its very root, it's socialist because it's a system by which voters vote themselves other people's property. Thus, it's difficult to see how democracy can be in compliance with the above passage.
A certain novelist, who shall remain nameless, once remarked that the reason why religion has tended to be peaceful in this country is because we have a separation of Church and State. In the same light, I'm for the separation of Economy and State. Another man's property, including his mind and body, should never be a political issue, to be taken from him and distributed by voters.
