Blaming the poverty of dictatorships on "evil" corporations is trendy left-wing garbage. Most of the income they have is from oil; the people of Venezuela avoid starvation purely because of income that comes from "evil" capitalists. Their own corrupt and stupid leftist regimes fail at even the most basic level to allow for the development of a healthy economy, and loot their own treasuries.

Your sympathy for this abusive fool is absurd. He makes life miserable for his own people - but because he is far left and hates Americans and corporations, you "sympathize" with him. Ludicrous. Anti-Americanism is like a narcotic that gets in the way of intelligent and reasonable observations.

I wonder if you would be willing to live in a nation run by one of the many sleazy, scheming leftist dictators who have destroyed so many economies in South America since the days of the Perons in Argentina? I certainly would not. Would you?

First of all. Corporations are not "evil".
They are supposed to do whatever they they can get away with, to make money, and make their stockholders happy.
Therefore, it is left to the authorities in the area, to set the rules, under which they can operate, and make sure, that they stay in line.

Second, Venezuela is NOT a dictatorship. There have been free elections.

Third. If corporations have had a lovely time, paying of a small elite, to get the entire rights of the wealth of a hole nation, It is not theft, to say:

Times have changed gentlemen, and from now on you either start paying what you are collecting, or you leave.

Fourth. Why do you think, that Chavez was elected by a vast majority of people, living in poverty?
Probably because, they can now see some of all that oil money, also going their way for the first time.

The rest is a little difficult, to take seriously
