Genius, socialist retail
December 23rd, 2009 . by Number 9Look out Sam Walton, a new retail genius has stepped forward with an idea to change retailing forever. Enter Hugo Chavez with a new approach guaranteed to at least entertain and amuse those who still believe capitalism is the most efficient economic system.
Behold Comerso. Sort of a CostCo meets Karl Marx.
President Hugo Chavez on Tuesday announced a new chain of government-run, cut-rate retail stores that will sell everything from food to cars to clothing from places such as China, Argentina and Bolivia. “We’re creating Comerso, meaning Socialist Corporation of Markets,” Chavez said at the opening of a “socialist” fast-food location for traditional Venezuelan arepas (cornbread).
“They’ll see what’s good. We’ll show them what a real market is all about, not those speculative, money-grubbing markets, but a market for the people,” said Chavez in his drive to change Venezuela from a market-based economy to a socialist one.
“We’re going to challenge all that junk food that just fattens people up,” he added referring to the arepa stand he opened to the public.
Chavez said the Comerso chain of stores will include “a network of subsidiaries” that will sell new vehicles directly imported from China and Argentina, “without capitalist intermediaries.”
“We’re going to defeat speculation. Private individuals in sales can still sell, but they’ll have to compete with us and with a people who is now fully aware,” Chavez said.
Americans are the biggest consumers of communist manufacturing. Conservatives that bitch about socialism are the first ones to waddle in and out of Walmart with their Chinese-made shoes and products. Maomart doubled its imports from China in the past five years alone, many American jobs and industries have been nearly destroyed by these imports, particularly the textile industry.

Um, I have always wondered why someone would get upset by the average American family saving 8 percent to 39 percent of its annual budget on its household needs by shopping at Wal-Mart.
Then again, I’m not a socialist, so…
more power to Obama and his effort to take money from those “eeeeevil people who earn $70k a year,” and give it to the people who don’t work. After all, why would he eliminate restrictions on trade and allow Americans to compete with Communists when he can just demonize the way we live and glorify the way Communists live?
Because, hey, it’s “fair when you spread the wealth around.”
idiot.
*shrug*
Chinese communists are crushing American manufacturing via Walmart. Walmart’s Chinese imports have eliminated hundreds of thousands of American jobs…. yet the rednecks complain about socialism and job losses.

PS … hey genius, Obama’s plan will cut taxes overall, reducing revenues to below the levels that prevailed under Ronald Reagan (less than 18.2 percent of GDP). No family making less than $250,000 will see their taxes increase
You guys are idiots. Chinese growth and prosperity has not hurt the United States. In fact, free trade has greatly contributed to our prosperity. Reality is a little too complicated to explain to you guys, so I won’t even try.
As for Obama not raising taxes, good grief. Are you people really this stupid? Are you all even able to feed yourselves? Unbelievable.
To All My Liberal Friends:
Please accept with no obligation, implied or explicit, my best wishes for an environmentally conscious, socially responsible, low-stress, non-addictive, gender-neutral celebration of the winter solstice holiday, practiced within the most enjoyable traditions of the religious persuasion of your choice, or secular practices of your choice, with respect for the religious/secular persuasion and/or traditions of others, or their choice not to practice religious or secular traditions at all. I also wish you a fiscally successful, personally fulfilling and medically uncomplicated recognition of the onset of the generally accepted calendar year 2010, but not without due respect for the calendars of choice of other cultures whose contributions to society have helped make America great. Not to imply that America is necessarily greater than any other country nor the only America in the Western Hemisphere. Also, this wish is made without regard to the race, creed, color, age, physical ability, religious faith or sexual preference of the wishee.
To All My Conservative Friends:
MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR!
that was easy…. all your conservative friends are exactly the same… White chistians.
Chinese growth and prosperity has not hurt the United States. In fact, free trade has greatly contributed to our prosperity.
Not to mention the poisoning of thousands of our pets and children!

Thank goodness for the free market, and little regulation!

Hey, Communism has only slaughtered 100 million people!
I think it deserves another chance!
Yes, we can!
It is truly amazing the number of Americans who support socialism. The first mistake as a country we made was letting the government controls our schools. This is nothing more than indoctrination from public schools. Some people are highly suggestible. It doesn’t take much to fool them.
The last go around 100 million people died for socialism. The next go around may be the last for everyone. It has never worked and leaves a trail of death. But look how many people come here to defend socialism. You have to have some compassion for these people. You have to wonder how them could be fooled to this extent.
Hard to believe the Xtians here forgot to note Santa’s birthday, all day long.

Yes, I do have compassion for them.
I have always had compassion for the developmentally-disabled. They simply can’t think deeply, which is why they must never again be given a position of responsibility.
2010 and 2012 cannot come soon enough!
Merry Christmas JP.

Yes, like the entire congress, military, most federal and state workers that enjoy socialized medicine. Like the conservatives that can’t get enough communist manufactured products. If it weren’t cheap communist manufactured products and socialized gov’t programs, this country would have a much lower standard of living.
I think all the friends of JP should get a collection started. Stat.
He’s not looking all that well right now.
I blame the Cheetos, the donuts, the continuous riding on girls’ mopeds and, of course, teh catblogging.
I’ll throw in a couple bucks if someone sets up a donation bucket.
