Venezuela's New Socialist Man
The week before last President Chavez went on national television to announce a new "socialist" automobile outlet that would presumabely sell cars at a discount and not use capitalist measures on loans, such as requiring a down payment.
Well, the reaction was rapid and quite amazing on one of the governments larger web-sites that allows user comment - Radio YVKE Mundial.
You can see there article on Chavez's comments here.
But its not the article itself that is of so much interest. Read 150 or so comments that follow - a record for that site. In it you will get clear evidence of how much Chavez has raised, or not raised, the consciousness of Venezuelans.
Some examples:
[I almost cried when I read Neizy's please for a car. It seems his son and daughter-in-law desperately need a car to get to and from their jobs - otherwise they could be forced to use public transportion such as a bus, or worse still, the Maracaibo metro. - O.W.]
[The above case shows the need for some out of the box thinking. Seeing as the government can't manage to do anything to reduce crime maybe they should consider giving known criminals preference in getting these socialist cars; the thinking being that way they'll be less inclined to steal other peoples cars. So, for example, all people being released from Venezuelan prisons after serving their sentances should be given free cars. Just a thought - O.W]
[OMG, this person is a doctor and has to take a bus!!! Get her a car, STAT - O.W.]
[yeah, really, even if they are barely making any cars they should at least get their web site working - O.W.]
[Yeah, it really sucks when you can't get free shit from the government because some other asshole, who needs the free shit even less than you do, got it first!! - O.W.]
I'm not posting any more of these comments - it is simply too depressing. Anyone who wants to read more can go to the web-site and read them for themselves.
One final comment. Remember how Chavez berated a government banker from the Bank of Venezuela for requiring down payments to purchase a car?
Well, just think about it. Maybe those morgage brokers at Countrywide, and Citibank, and Bank of American weren't really scum bags trying to make obscene profits while scamming people through "no money down" morgages. Maybe they were just trying to intraduce socialist lending practices to the United States!!

Felicitaciones al gobierno del presidente Chávez y el ministro Samán por tan noble iniciativa. Desearía conocer los requisitos para que mi hijo pueda optar a un carro; ya que fuimos víctimas del robo del anterior y con el dinero que entregó el seguro sólo pudimos comprar un carro de segunda mano que ya no ofrece seguridad. Lo necesita para ir a su trabajo y llevar a su esposa al trabajo de ella. Gracias.

FELICITACIONES PRESIDENTE, por esta excelente politica, pensada para nosotros los de menos recursos. Es un paso para atacar el capitalismo que nos esta matando . SUGERENCIA: Para la adjudicación de estos vehículos se deberia investigar si el solicitante no tiene mas autos, ya que son muchos los vivos que acaparan y NO dejan para el que en realidad lo necesita. Deseo saber cuales son los tramites para adquirir uno de estos autos ya que lo necesito para trasladarme hasta mi trabajo. VIVA CHAVEZ
