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.
For more on the Venezuelan “people’s paradise,” see page 2:
Venezuela gasnt preform it’s final transformation. Its merely SSJ2 right now…. Wait til it goes Super-Socialist 3
So, the system failed…
Except the Ukraine, and the Middle East
We did this to them. Didn’t even have to fire a shot
If Venezuelans had guns this would have changed long before it came to this.
I have noticed that Cuba has a cancer vaccine cheaper then a value meal at Mc Donalds. I’ve also noticed the 193 countries that make up the UN repressing Cuba for not allowing big business and the world bank in slave it’s people and erase their culture.
First they took the names of everyone that had a gun ….
I hate reading anything from this page. Letters are way to small.
Your an idiot and so misinformed it hurts
Yeah don’t think this could be considered socialism.
