who are the "others"? how they got the property?
you think that 3 or 4 foreign investors have more rights than 25 million venezuelans? who gave this people the right to "own" the wealth of 25 million venezuelans? the 25 million venezuelans have the natural right to own every piece of their land for their own benefit and interests. you are always defending the right of a very few people (rich corporations) against the rest 99.99%. don't you know that the privatization of public companies is a disaster of huge proportions in latin america? why? because the main goal of private corporations is to make profit no matter what. That is why Argentina went down the drain because everything was privatized and the WB and IMF pushed the governemet to cut social expenses, cut cut cut...in favor of these private corporations who did not care about social problems , they only cared about the profits.

Your comments regarding Argentina are not only wrong - they are exactly the opposite of the truth. At the beginning of the 20th century, when Argentina had free markets and was an "evil" capitalist nation, it was one of the ten wealthiest nations in the world. Under the left-wing dictatorships that began with the Perons, the economy collapsed. It has never fully recovered. The attempts to re-introduce some free market policies have been partly successful, but they have not reversed the decline.

If you are going to promote an anti-capitalist agenda and defend leftist dictators, you have to at least attempt to use facts and data to support your views.
