Abu-Salman Posted March 5, 2013 Nobody or few really believe in communism or full collectivisation; however, dirigism or planning and strong regulations, key strategic industries nationalised or largely state-owned and pervasive social protection as well as spending is what explains largely why Sweden lead in many way including innovation, resisting better the downturn or France has such well educated citizenry with world leading productivity, healthcare or infrastructure (trams, high speed trains etc). This has been proven to prevent chaotic transports or hospitals, out of control inequalities and crime, ubiquitous corporate malpractice etc and protect small farmers and traders (or labor intensive industries). State owned land and denying tenure to intensive, polluting farming may makes full sense too (more sustainable, equitable and productive to distribute it to small tenants, not like soviet sovkhozes). Even USSR witnessed stellar growth in heavy industries despite failure to incentivise, particularly the farmers (and I'm certainely not fond of those models). Focusing on equality & human capital, state owning key industries and planning economic priorities (heavy industries rather than consumer items) can thus be more efficient for a stronger, just society and done in different fashions (Cuba has world leading education, healthcare, scientific achievements...all for much less resources and a long embargo yet with relatively little environmental footprint). PS: all that will not prevent stress or suicide, actually satisfying basic needs leads to other problems; hence, the spiritual side is even more crucial (thus those socialists are not muslims models despite the achievements).

SomaliPhilosopher Posted March 6, 2013 The doctor has a point. A double standard of praise for Chavez and condemnation of Barre seems to exist. Doctor, I think this double standard can be explained through the fact that the general ideals and values propagated by "Socialist" leaders such as Chavez and Barre are one of which we admire. Though when these leaders nastily infringe on the "rights" of its citizens as a means of consolidating power is when we begin to to turn this admiration to condemnation. As Somalis, we are able to criticize Barre because these infringements have been felt by us or people close to us in essence it is personal whereas the infringements of Chavez is something very distant to us, something that is hard to see or feel. So instead we can only see Chavez in the lens of his values and ideals. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Haatu Posted March 6, 2013 He was good for the poor, terrible for the economy. I don't believe in too much state intervention in the economy, nor do I like nationalizing big industries so I disagreed with him there but he did many good things. However, under his reign, the country was literally run by the PDVSA or whatever it's called which is a big no no. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tallaabo Posted March 6, 2013 ^ The ordinary people will but not the governors. Hugo Chavez helped the poor and the powerless of his country but he also mismanaged Venezuela’s economy as Venezuela now imports most of its food even though it is one of the most fertile countries in the world. Also I hated the way he went to bed with every tyrant in the world. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
