[QUOTE="Albion, post: 76135768, member: 93831"] That strikes me as such a simplistic approach. Blame everything on the Soviet Union, and of course, it no longer exists. Ergo, no nation today that elevates a Socialist government into power will turn out like Venezuela. Really? Cuba and Venezuela are what they are because power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely. That's the slippery slope. It's not the doing of the Soviet Union. You cannot give more and more power to a central government (or permit the government to simply take it) and then expect that the governors will never abuse it. [/QUOTE]
