Maybe they'd be better-off dumping this socialist garbage and trying a bit of free-marketing?

The moral quite simply is NOT to hand over the keys to a bunch of commies.
John B., true - especially about Zim's neighbors. [What a crew.] All the more reason gov't should be small and limited.
It never fails to amaze how socialists who decry the corruption of large corporations running [effective] monopolies always see large controlling gov't as the alternative. Government is just another corporation running monopolies... in this case, land redistribution. The free market - however imperfect - was much better than the new status quo.
