As I said in other threads, right off the hop, I'm sympathetic to these third and second world countries looking for governments that will re-distribute more wealth from the top towards the bottom.

Overdue for sure.

There's no guarantee, however, that the arch-socialists will be any better than the arch-capitalists . . . . . and they're more often worse for everyone, including the poor, in the long run.
