Is it possible to enact reforms that are supported by all classes of people, or do you think class warfare (rich vs. poor) is the only option?
|
This is a non sequitur in that you presume there is only one of two positions to the formation of an economy.

What do you think will happen when the current group of the most skilled and educated leave the country?
|
When or if? Are you making the presumption that the skilled and educated are leaving the country based upon the article in your OP? I would like to see some support for that argument, if that is your position.

How do you see the revolution and current conditions in Cuba compared to what may happen in Venesuela since Chavez often uses Cuba as a role-model?
|
Cuba as a role model to Chavez? Surely you can't be serious. Venesuela is a social/democracy with a great revenue source from it's oil reserves. Cuba is a communist country that largely survived through the economic funding of the former Soviet Union. I have to agree with Jazz that you don't recognize the difference between communism and socialism.

Are there lessons the USA can learn from Chavez's approach to wealth re-distribution?

Yes. People will eventually revolt against an Oligarchy, as we did in November.
