Once again... on which grounds? The whole venezuelan nation will get the profits of that industry instead of just some particulars, some of which are foreigner. |

if they are forign then even better if the company loses money venuzuvela won't. buying an industry wich contractors rely on is bringing chaves more power and the ability to sway them according to his will. |

And who gives a fuck about money when you own your resources? Besides if those companies earn money, now, intead of a Swede or a Mexican taking most to his pocket, it will be, at least in theory, the people of Venezuela.

Good for Chavez, and if Chavez brings anything, no matter how little, good to the workers, good for the venezuelan people. |

If theres one thing with more potential for corruption then then a state-run enterprise, then it's a private monopoly with state protection.  _________________

I think what mononokifool was saying, was that you went against your own argument for government contracting as opposed to nationalization _________________

if the goverment comes and says ok I want you to build 10,000 houses and I want to see your bids. company A bids 100coin. company A is a new loan trusting company with littel housebuilding experienc. company B bids 200coin but is very well funded and has a long history of making good and well lasting houses. company C bids 125 coin and is relativly new but has recently showed inprovements and has built a few neigburhoods with minimal complaints. a normal goverment would choos company C becuse it offers low prize to good qalaty this is what goverments do when bulding road or other state owned buildings. Here in iceland the "dam" company is state owned and it makes companyes bid on making it's dams. whan buildldin our largest dam so far (creates 1.2 gigs and is 200m high) the goverment saved 1b$ on letting private foregn enterprise buld it. p.s the forigns lost 300million. |

| ^^ The Venezuelan government is in no way at a shortage of "coin". This is an unnecassary capitalist institution in a country that is (as far as they say) trying to do away with capitalism.

Awesome, cheers all around!!!

And there's no doubt in my mind that money went straight into the pockets of lobbyists and/or upperclassmen. _________________ Youth is revolutionary |
