Notwithstanding the foregoing, unless the revolution is struck by lightning, the country will continue its course towards infeasibility. After the December looting we will have New Year shortages, the dollar at one hundred and empty pockets, so typical of our Venezuelan Januaries. And what will happen if the Chinese keep their word of not funding more inordinate government spending? What will become of Chavism without Chavez and without check-book? The enabling law does not answer these questions, because the law in Venezuela is not a deciding factor. Law died of decline years ago, no judge was able to save it. What we were left with was a divided and impoverished armed force, a paramilitary armed corps to defend the revolution and a people who, when hungry, goes out and eats whoever they find.
