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.

socialism starts with voters looking down a ballot box, always ends with voters looking dow a barrel.
Come on Wes. Enough with this nonsense. Ask Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Holland and a raft of other social democratic societies how happy they are. A hell of a lot happier than us. Please just post pictures and stories of your family and friends and keep Facebook politics free?
We can not let Bernie or Hillary destroy us as such, destruction from within.
The USA has more oil under it then any country in the WORLD!!! BUT, there is a problem!! IF the USA used thier OIL, gas would be about 25 cents a Gallon!! It’s ALL a scam to use foreign OIL because then THEY can CHARGE more for it!! In better words, The people of the USA are being SCAMMED by the LIES of the OIL INDUSTRY and the Stock Market!!!
Socialism is the degradation of humanity nothing else, it is the corruption and control of this so called leaders against the will of the people. Obama started with the same nonsense that he will reform America and share the wealth, braking the law as he pleases not caring for the Constitution and the law of the land. His own personal ideology is followed by own personal religious belief blaming others for his own mistakes covering up criminals instead of following the law. Bernie Sanders roots come from Poland, if he love socialism he can leave this country anytime. Hillary corrupt, dishonest, unworthy, liar and deceiver, so hungry for the power and her own personal gain. Open your eyes America and learned from this horrific mistakes. God bless Venezuela.
Every military mans biggest nightmare would be defending his/her government from its own citizens! Most of us are here are in and out in 4 years.. Before and after your service your an American citizen.. in that situation instead of appreciation for defending your country you are the enemy defending a corrupt government that left it’s people starving. . I’d probably suffer the consequences rather than kill fellow citizens
The people in Venezuela wish America would come to their country…because they are tired of starving
I love war
1800 miles of boarder slamming a vehicle through the fence in random areas will break the United States.
