i am somewhat skeptical about the supposed "lesson" of venezeula.
the poors took power and started redistributing wealth from the oil profits.
the oil profits shrank and now they have chaos.
well, ok, you think if they had done what - let that money stay in the hands of the tiny upper stratum who hated them and tried to kill chavez - that the country wouldn't be collapsing now because they'd have - uh - more private industry or something?
