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.

You morons need to check your history and learn the difference between national socialism and democratic socialism instead of just swallowing the b******t the GOP feeds you
FDR was a socialist who taxed the rich at 90% after WWII and used the money to build highways and railway lines, provide incentives for new businesses and manufacturing. It paid for the GI Bill which subsidized education for returning soldiers and started social security . All this led to the greatest economic boom this country has seen and created a stong healthy middle class. This boom continued right through the 70s until that fuckwit Reagan introduced the greatest scam in history
Trickle down economics. Ever since then the GOP has been in the pockets of big business, destroying the middle class and lead to the abysmal disaster that was the GW Bush administration.
And you people are just too dense to see how you are being screwed by corrupt conservative politicians
You can’t fix stupid
Same thing Cuba has been doing for the past 60 years every month
How stupid can they be???
Why invade a dead socialist hell hole? Nope, not gonna happen.
Political theories become “Applied theories” and you only have to look around to see that Yes, these ,theories do create economies and governments and economies that succeed (Capitalism) and those that repeatedly fail. (communism and socialism). You sir are an idiot or a liberal democratic fool. Take your pick.
