Vis a vis communists, I want to be like the oldschool intelligence guys, From Napoleon's dude up to Kissinger and whatnot, psychops or whatever. But I don't actually want to grab a rifle and shoot some stupid bastard just doing what he's told and doesn't really understand any of it.

A few things we know for sure, oil fields don't follow along property lines, the oil will eventually be in the hands of those oil majors, Venezuela is going through a complex economic shift that can't be attributed solely to "socialism", and all that started to happen when they pissed off the US who wanted to profit...probably more than they should have off another people's resources.
