CHAVEZ COLLEGE
It isn’t all bad news in King Hugo’s inflation-ridden, under-fooded, dictatorial Venezuela. There are also helpful learning opportunities:
Some private companies are also concerned about President Chavez’s intention to make them allow their employees time during the working day to study socialism.
Oh, they’re studying, all right. You might call it a crash course.

UPDATE. Agenda teaching is also practised in Australia.
UPDATE II. Looks like Hugo’s fans will have to choose between the Great Satan and Mighty AQ:
Venezuela’s defense minister said Thursday that the nation would reinforce security measures after a branch of al Qaeda called for attacks on suppliers of oil to the United States.
Venezuela provides around 11 percent of U.S. oil imports ...
# 5 - Zoe, sorry my mind went in the 70’s, I just know that these pricks, (Mugabe, Chavez, Hitler) are really, really BAD.
Posted by surfmaster on 2007 02 16 at 09:45 AM • permalinkThe former Federal Labor government here used to force employers to give their employees time off to attend union seminars and training courses. All lefties sing from the same hymnbook…
Posted by Art Vandelay on 2007 02 16 at 09:51 AM • permalinkOf course plenty of Venezulans with money and/or education are fleeing to Miami… thanks Hugo!
Think of it as a Bolivarian transfer of money and brainpower to the US from Venezula.
Posted by Major John on 2007 02 16 at 10:01 AM • permalinkSounds like the practice in the former Soviet Union, where the soldiers where as much attention was given to their political training, as was given to their military training. I believe that a similar policy was practised in the civilian workforce.
No doubt Chavez is following the
CommunistSocialistLeadersDictator’s Revolutionary Handbook very closely.Posted by The_Real_JeffS on 2007 02 16 at 10:27 AM • permalinkIts not really education, its indoctrination.
How long will it be before the leftoids are tugging out our heart strings with a Live Aid concert for Venezuela. Maybe Gough and Mal, along with names, on the ‘List’ might like to visit there, before bringing this ‘ideological failure waiting to happen’ to the shores of good old Oz. Whats the bet, the back room boys at ALP headquarters, are all brushing up on their Spanish, the Democrats are squealing in anticipation, and the Greens will have tears in their eyes with emotion, despite what their defacto ‘leader’ Mr Rudd says.Hugo’s paradise may soon resemble a soul mates paradise.
The best possible scenario is Hugo’s likeness being emblazoned on a T shirt, after death
Oh come on. Jimmy Carter certified this election. And Jimmy won a Nobel Peace Prize. Did any of you win a Nobel Peace Prize? No, I didn’t think so.
This is all on the up and up.

Devil’s Excrement with a few quotes of the day
From Jorge
“On a proposal by then Minister of Finance Guicaipuro Lameda to eradicate poverty, Minister of Planning, then and now, Jorge Giordani replied:
“You have not understood Guicaipuro. The revolution can not survive without the poor”
As Chavez claims he isn’t a communist, Chavez should be careful, or as Marx claimed, the poor will revolt, overthrow capitalism and replace it with a communist utopia. But then maybe not, for as Jorge points out, Venezuela has already made it to Utopia.
Deputy Amoroso: “The country is in its best economic and financial moment”
And from some commenters.
“ In a most recent concert in Miami, Jose Feliciano refered to Chavez as the “first lady of Cuba”. I’ve heard that Chavez responded that Venezuela will no longer play Jose Feliciano music”
Another commenter tells of some of the response to Chavez’s threat to nationalise corner stores.
“Also, the corner-shop owners in Ciudad Bolívar that have a butcher’s section announced (in the same press conference) that they’ve decided not to sell neither meat nor chicken, “what for” they said, “if we sell it at the regulated price, we lose, and if we sell it at the real price, the government would just take it away without refunding us, we lose anyway, so we won’t sell it anymore”.
Would love to know Natasha’s views on the Chavez dictatorship’s requirement to always have the poor with us.
All is explained. No need to choose between Great Satan and the Mighty AQ. It was the Great Satan.
“Further, Ortega claimed that the US is likely making attempts at making the world believe that US security is at stake because of a possible disruption in oil supplies following Al Qaeda’s threat against Venezuela. Consequently, Washington could order a pre-emptive military intervention of Venezuela”
From the National Assembly Committee on Foreign Affairs, Venezuela.

What do you reckon Natasha, time to start organising the peace marches.
I think the point that you have to get people time off from work (with pay, I presume, and attendance taken and alertness noted, etc) shows just how valuable this education is. If it were really worth anything, people would be doing it on their own time.

Talk about having to choose.
Posted by Kyda Sylvester on 2007 02 16 at 07:08 PM • permalink#28 Kyda, it’s very simple.
One is a buffoon who will destroy his country.
The other is a very serious organization that wants to dominate the world, viciously.

Why does this sound so much like Robert Mugabes school of economics, take over every business, run out the capitilists and then cry poor?
