That’ll Learn ‘Em

Ah Socialism!  How you benefit the proletariat with your reclaiming of the people’s natural resources!

Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez’s government will take over and nationalize La Cristinas, the biggest gold mine in the country owned by Canada’s Crystallex, Mining Minister Rodolfo Sanz said Wednesday.The move is part of leftist Chavez’s socialist agenda that calls for nationalizing Venezuela’s natural resources. Over the past year, he has taken over the electricity, oil, steelmaking, cement and telephone enterprises.

Or…maybe not.

Venezuela plans to build mines at its largest gold deposits with Russian help, the mining minister said on Thursday, apparently killing a years-long bid by two Canadian companies to develop the projects.

 
But, but…Dear Leader, that doesn’t seem to benefit anyone but, er, you and the Russians!  Wait…what’s with the gun?  No!  I was just…   

BANG
