#1 The most apt characterization of socialism ever.....Privatization to corrupt elite.

Think about Oil for Food scandal as the UN being an extension of the International...ie the communist party, where the bought and paid for political appointees take control of all resources, making every one associated with the administration of resources rich while everyone else is supposed to throw accolades to them for thier fairness.....what a sham;
all corruption all the time courtesy of those whose skills at the trough are what qualifies them as kings..

#3 quibble: "...the oil fields of the western region of the country..."

Wrong. All of the Saudi oil is in the eastern region.

thats why any meaningful socialism can only occur in a democracy, and "socialism" in a dictatorship is not really socialism, but just a form of feudalism.
