Leave it to Reuters in this April 29 article, to express surprise that Hugo Chavez' planned economy, complete with “land reform,” price controls and forced production, is failing. Even worse, reporter Frank Jack Daniels relied on a Marxist outlook and socialist jargon to pretend that those tired policies weren't to blame.
Chavez wants to increase domestic food production; so, of course, the logical solution is to base the recovery on Marxist economics. After watching the failed totalitarian agronomics of Cuba and Russia, you'd think they could have invested a few bucks in a SimCity game so they could practice a little first.
Reuters framed the article as if it had been cribbed from a social justice and peace studies textbook. Daniels listed the same practices that devastated the Soviet Union's economy and resulted in bread lines, and yet, without a trace of facetiousness, wrote “Even so, some products have been scarce” as if the policies aren't related to the problems. That takes either a total lack of basic economics, which means he shouldn't be writing about Venezuela's economy, or Daniels has ignored the news for the last 30 years and believes planned economies work.

Socialists are absolutely amazing in being able to ignore the facts. Socialism has never worked successfully. It assumes humans are little tin soldiers, all cast from the same die, and stifles the human condition.
Government does have usefulness in constraining those folks whose unbridled greed would harm the general population, i.e. controlling utilities.
Socialist always blame other factors for the failure of their economic system. They want to think it would work, if only they were in charge, but when they do get in charge, they find they're not quite as bright as they thought.
