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.

Where are all those tools who were holding up Venezuela as a model of socialism just a few years ago?
Still not correct.
Venezuela doesn’t have a free market. Bernie Sanders never once mentioned anything similiar to the economy of Venezuela.
The fact that people cannot differentiate types of regulation is proof they have no clue as to what they’re talking about.
You see, it’s fine that you don’t want socialism but when you have to use faulty correlations to validate your feelings it makes it seem like you just don’t know wtf you’re taking about.
Let the Democide begin!
I really wish all Bernie voters and supporters would pack up and live the socialist dream in that third world$#%&!@*hole
History will always repeat itself; knowledge will protect us
Venezuela feeling the bern
Because Venezuela hasnt reached full socialism…because it always fails! The money runs out far too quickly…because its not their money to spend.
And the Media fails to cover it.
Gotta love that government plan . I say F**K THAT PLAN !
