I think suggesting today's outcome in Venezuela as the result of intention to have imports rather than the obviously bad result of land redistribution is disingenuous. Chavez took land from farmers and gave it to people who had never farmed before. That's not intentionally relying on food imports. That's shooting yourself in the gut while on a drunken bender.
