Socialism always starts as a “people’s movement,” with mindless and ignorant people being directed by elitist con men in the background, telling the foolish that by bringing down the “rich,” everyone will share in the abundance that socialism will bring. It is always a lie, and invariably almost all the people end up in poverty, with the exception of the top socialist leaders who live like kings. Fidel Castro is certainly one who has lived that life, and his protege, Hugo Chavez destroyed the Venezuelan economy pursuing the same socialist policies.
When the economy comes crashing down, it is necessary for the leadership to blame an outside source, and when Chavez was alive, he continually named the United States for all of the woes the country was suffering from. In fact, the oil rich country provides 9 percent of the U.S. gross oil imports, which must be a considerable sum of export income to the nation of 30 million people. As such, the U.S. provided a huge portion of the countries income, but Chavez resented that as well.
Venezuela has expropriated foreign and domestic businesses, which means that the people have little invested in the country and are becoming very unhappy with the leadership as it nosedives to complete economic ruin.

Bunch of tinfoil hat fools in here… Can any of you even define Socialism and somehow tell me how a privatized Republic could ever become a Marxist socialist state? Never, and can’t happen! This Socialism scare tactic bs is just that- scare tactic by a Fascist GOP propaganda machine ( spot on
by definition). I can’t imagine how you Fascist’s would have treated FDR, Kennedy, or even Eisenhower with the b******t you’ve been fed…
Venezuela has nothing to do with America and can’t even be compared..

That’s stupid.. Hillary is practically a Republican, and Sanders is no different than FDR, and Kennedy- you have the balls to call those men Marxists?

Sadly people don’t know that we have been a democratic socialist country for a hundred years and they are still to stupid to figure out the difference.Ya know that medicare you are on,that’s democratic socialism,ya know that unemployment insurance you used,that’s democratic socialism.
Ya know that stuff Trump does when tries to divide us so we will be easier to conquer,that’s facism,just like$#%&!@*
Democratic Socialism is when people vote on how to use their tax money to benefit everyone.
Communism is when the government controls every facet of the economy,military and corporate business.
Two fundamentally,forget why am I wasting my time.
