On pages 16-20 of Capitalism and Freedom, which I am sure all of you have on
your bedstands, Milton Friedman discusses the practical difficulties that
any socialist government will have in establishing institutions that will
preserve the ability to dissent. The Venezuelan experience is entirely
predictable and should give you all the comfort that Venezuela is a real
socialist country (or on its way).
David Shemano

CB: When we look at the history of the destruction of effective dissent
under capitalism, I hope Friedman doesn't claim that capitalism has a better
record than socialism on this.
