Indeed you are right. Obviously I’m still peeling back the onion skin layers of my own liberal education. Thank you for that correction.

You can also add suffrage to the list of things that have no self correction and self-destruction is assured.

(In my own thinking I also began with realizing restricting suffrage from more and groups would be good until I realized the whole concept should be put in the trash.)

Everything takes longer than it should, even collapse.

Totally. The main point in emphasizing ‘collapse’ is that it really is the end of a road — and it can be a hell of a long road.

Given that Maduro looks like completely retarded I gotta say I’m impressed with how long he’s holding to power after Chaves’ dead. Expectations were that after the old man died they’d surrender to the USA in days. But hey, there he is. And if the Saudi’s weren’t flooding the oil market we might even have decades of Venezuelan socialism.

I am not sympathetic to socialism, but what about Belarus? Aren’t they proof that socialism can keep going on indefinitely if there is enough political support?

You can also add female suffrage to the list of things that have no self correction and self-destruction is assured.

“It’s a wonderful article, written with all the dispassion of someone observing a T-Rex eating the visitors of an amusement park, describing the color, size and wonderful agility of the beast, without ever asking the most interesting question: why is there a T-Rex in the amusement park?” – even the phrasing of this section (*especially* the phrasing of this section) reminds me of the stylings of one of our friends.

Sending Riyadh into blue funk? Heh.

Ehm.. no one has told Fernandez that the low old prices are Saudis repeating the strategy that in combination with Star Wars managed to bankrupt the USSR.
