Government organized looting in Venezuela.

[Luveria]

Democrats will say this is fair and that greedy stores must help out the poor. I am sure this will greatly improve Venezuela's economy and encourage more stores to set up their business in Venezuela. After all, business is supposed to be like a charity right? Everybody has the right to own a TV or refrigerator.

My friend, the democrats are capitalists.

Democrats are CommuLeninStalinMaoHoChiMinhPolPotists just like Hugo Chavez dontchaknow?

[The Black Plains]

President Nicolás Maduro ordered the military to occupy Daka stores, equivalent of best buy ( well maybe closer to circuit city soon given the likely bankruptcy), to sell electronics at a "fair price" in order to combat economic warfare. What does fair mean ? I have no clue what fair means I suspect fair means going out of business.

In other news there is a massive shortage of toilet paper in Venezuela.

In my view I do not even think Venezuela can claim to be a socialist country anymore, instead Venezuela should call itself a really bad right winged satire of socialism.

So what says NSG ? has Venezuela gone too crazy or not ?

It's like Occupy Wall Street with guns.

That bizarre alternate reality in which the Democratic Party is socialist. I assume Scandinavia is a bastion of right-wing politics in that inverted world.

Not really.

So, what prices are they setting things for?

Also, I feel bad about the toilet paper shortage D:

Please, the idea of a "fair" price? That reeks of OWS.

Why not compare the Venezuelan government to ACORN? Same effect.

[Tyrghyria]

I cannot help but feel that Maduro is taking more extreme measures than his late predecessor. Are these desperate measures?

[Mozzissey]

OWS doesn't own the idea of "fair prices" or "socialism" or "communism" or "resource based economy". Ideas are owned by no one.
That said, as long as the government officials are not harassing peoples involved, charging outrageous expensive prices, shooting civilians, destroying products or buildings, then I generally don't see anything wrong with it.

If there is a toilet paper shortage then chances are they might try, if not already, to smuggle toilet paper from across the border from Colombia.

Yes, they even sell "Familiar" Brand toilet paper here on our island. Imported from Colombia.

First of all, I never said that they owned ideas. It still sounds like them. Second, your ideas are insane and stupid. You aren't insane or stupid. I'm sure you're just fine. Your ideas and ideals are insane and stupid. If you want people to allocate goods where they're needed, you have to allow them to charge the price where the supply and the demand curves meet or you're going to have shortages or surpluses. Even honkey-ass Keynesian economics purports that.

lol, I read that second part as "alcoholic" instead of "acolchado"...not really sure on the defecating habits of alcoholics but I figure the three-ply offered is important if their preferred beverage is beer.

In the United States, "Socialist" always means "CommuLeninStalinMaoHoChiMinhPolPotist".

I can see the cartels switching to smuggling toilet paper for profit.

This will eventually evolve in making toilet paper illegal, followed by propaganda explaining why toilet paper makes you a murdering psychopath, followed by a War on Toilet Paper, followed by a libertarian teenage movement that wants to legalise toilet paper.

[Tyrghyria]

Is Carmona planning a new revolution attempt, this time with an even 'shittier' plan than the last one?

Plus public service announcements telling kids that "Toilet Papers are Bad, Mmkay?" and investments in training toilet paper sniffing dogs.

Considering how their inflation is high, I'd say so.

I think I've read somewhere they are already doing it.

I hope so.
