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.

Hey liberals this is the life you want .
Wated polical communist country,$#%&!@*of South America. Dictators will be next, sucking hind t*t
Socialism: there you go people!
Very sad. The worst part is the people that want this for the US will never listen to this or any other history lesson on Socialism because they all know better than everyone else, it will be different this time and it’s “democratic socialism” are the blatantly ignorant arguments for this travesty to unfold.
Socialism
What? No fucking way.
then IMF steps in and crashes the system as they do with every nation they take over with their centralized bank. Venezuela was doing very well with Chavez and then once he died the IMF came rolling in and crashed the system to gobble it up.
Every day I take a minute or two to check to see the inevitable picture of Maduro being dragged through the streets with his guts out…….oh it’s coming, and I can’t wait to see the picture that is in my minds eye.
