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.

Interesting. Dilma Rousseff isn’t too far from being literally driven from power by the behind the scenes the CIA meddling in the country’s affairs and its power greedy hounds riding on its coat tails
Just like our government lies to us, theirs is lying to them too.
So we can get some socialism???
Sanders. Hillary and. Democrats. Must. See. The. Reality. That. Socialism. Always. Fails. Lw

That’s what happens when you allow liberal socialist to govern the country and it will be here if the American people are dumb enough to vote for Bernie Sanders or Hillary Clinton.
Tell them we’re bringing all the toilet paper they could ever want…
The US may send aid but not Soldiers. Those People was taken for a ride!
Sad in this day and age that socialism, that is always all about lies, can fool people. We will take care of you, just hand over your arms, you won’t need them anymore. We have free everything, just wait and see. We know best, you can only have 1 child; we’ll take care of that 2nd pregnancy for free. We’ll decide what to teach your child; we know best. All the other countries are coming to attack, because we have made it so wonderful here for you; so hand over all your money and valuables, so we can build an army, and buy arms to protect you; oh, you said what about our leader? Bang you’re dead. People fallen for this all over the world since the beginning of humankind.
