Walmart socialism
The "socialism" of Hugo Chavez has always been notable for its lack of clear definition.
Well today maybe it became a bit clearer when President Chavez said:
"Socialism sells more, sells better, and sells cheaper"
Funny, but that sounds an awful lot like Walmart, and I"ve never really thought of Walmart as being the incarnation of socialism.
But if buying a bunch of cheap goods from China and selling them cheaply in big box stores, which is what Hugo Chavez is now doing, is socialism maybe Sam Walton was really the progenitor of 21st Century Socialism.
