Hollywood's favorite Latin American dictator Hugo Chavez is at it again -- making you wonder what these celebrities who fawn over Chavez believe about justice and morality.

And you wonder how many more Marxist outrages he has to commit before getting his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

The Venezuelan strongman, after expropriating oil fields and facilities, is now going after other private property. He has forced multinational corporations to sell their facilities to him. And those who don't agree are having them stolen.

The latest is Cemex of Mexico, the world's third-largest cement maker. Unlike European companies, Cemex did not agree to Chavez's terms of purchase -- so he simply stole their assets.

Chavez has been "nationalizing" -- stealing -- assets from oil, steel and telecommunications industries as well.

"Now the cement we produce will not make millionaires of some men far away, (and) it will be used for our houses, our infrastructure and our national development plan," Venezuelan Energy Minister Rafael Ramirez was quoted after the Cemex takeover.

Sounds great, in a socialist workers' paradise sort of way. Of course, Ramirez doesn't say that the facilities were built by "men far away" who invested their own money in the Venezuela economy and, oh by the way, created jobs for Venezuelans.

Are these robberies by Chavez -- which will no doubt chill foreign investment and hurt Venezuelans and their economy in the long run -- something that his fans in Hollywood endorse when they sidle up to him? What say you, Danny Glover, Sean Penn, Kevin Spacey and Naomi Campbell?

Would they love Chavez so much if he held power here and "nationalized" the film industry?

What makes leftist thugs and their really, really hostile takeovers so attractive in Hollywood?
