Venezuela Socialist Party Registration Period

(Caracas, Venezuela) Do not tarry, comrades. There is a time limit to register and become an enlightened socialist revolutionary.

From Prensa Latina:

Registration of applicants to become members of Venezuela's Socialist United Party (PSUV) entered its second phase on Saturday with collection of signatures in the states of Zulia, Cojedes and Miranda.

Today, President Hugo Chavez registered in Caracas and Vice President Jorge Rodriguez followed suit in Zulia.

The registration process, to run for four consecutive weekends, started last Sunday in Lara and Caracas.

Vice President Rodriguez called on the people to sign the registry en masse to join the new political organization of the Revolution.

In other news from the revolutionary paradise, Venezuelan Agriculture and Land Minister Elias Jaua denounced talk of food shortages and radical rises in the prices of staples. Jaua also called on Venezuelans to "fight hoarding."

Interesting. When the government identifies hoarding as a problem, not all is well in utopia. The citizens are obviously preparing for shortages despite what the government contends.

There's no guarantee but it's possible that membership in the Socialist United Party will help people avoid being rounded up when the executions start. As a general rule, it's better all around to have "Party Member" stamped on your socialist police-state dossier than not.
