In this week’s Takimag column, the good doctor stumbles upon some old magazines in his library and comes across an instructive piece detailing the tragic socialist experiment of the Chavez regime.

In short, several Western governments have been run by pale versions of the late Hugo Chavez, though thankfully without the six- to nine-hour harangues on television. I doubt that Mr. Biden or Ms. Truss could speak for six to nine minutes unscripted, let alone for six to nine hours, so we still have something to be grateful for. Hell is listening to Ms. Truss for longer than thirty seconds.
