Instead of socializing the country in an attempt to keep political power, maybe Hugo should focus on helping those who actually take risks and contribute by providing labor. I know they're a third-world country still grappling with corruption and draconian policies, but this is not a smart way to go about fixing it.

I don't think Hugo has been focusing on much since his death a few months ago.

Honestly didn't know the bastard had died, his successors however were no doubt groomed to solidify his actions and elaborate on them. Socialism is the new black in South America.
