I know very little about Vietnam. I know ...I, 1979. I know very little about Vietnam. I know there is open political repression and lack of freedom there. Now, what we have in Venezuela is a weird mix. It's not communism. It's a bunch of thugs that pretend to install socialism but cannot even deal with basic security issues. Security has badly deteriorated in the last 13 years, as never before. <br /><br />We don't have cases like Le Cong Dinh, but we do have cases like <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Detention_of_Maria_Lourdes_Afiuni" rel="nofollow">Afiuni</a>. We have Potemkin village kind of media, where you can freely say a lot of rude things about the central government - as long as you don't provide details - and this is a showcase for useful idiots abroad to pretend there is freedom of speech in Venezuela...but in reality there is little of this that can reach people in the secondary cities, where useful idiots don't go. <br /><br />The really bad thing in Venezuela now is violent crime, which is used by the central government to contain people who want to go to the streets and just talk to others, spread news, distribute flyers...it is a dangerous business, so people usually go from work to house, from house to shops and then to beaches, which, although increasingly also target for crime, are places where thieves don't attack as often as elsewhere.Keplerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11125538872924743270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1631912103702174313.post-12343642004836949732012-05-01T14:12:52.435-07:002012-05-01T14:12:52.435-07:00So sad.
