In my opinion, it is absolutely crucial that certain countries follow Venezuela's lead and nationalise assets (Oil etc), rather than allow the continued exploitation by foreign corporations. It may risk war with the US, as history shows (and I wouln't be suprised if Venezuela is forced into war with Colombia-US), but eventually countries will realise (particularly in Latin America where CIA genocides have been rife) that the US is now weak and is falling apart on a spiralling deficit and weak dollar.
I am thoroughly against free markets to the extent that they do not protect the consumer from health risks, do not offer fair value and competition, and do not offer sufficient jobs for the unemployed.
