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.

Yeah, Danny socialism. Couldn’t just be the result of greedy govts pushing people till they get tired of it. I mean, the US media wouldn’t lie right? It’s not like they would want us to stear Clear of anything that might topple the status quo right? They arwbtotally honest, and it isn’t like Venezuela was in a list with Iraq and Afghanistan and north Korea right? Baa baa
And their ilk run for the presidency of the USA. Unreal!
It’s always about the people. And making sure their lives are controlled.
Ah look the “paradise” that awaits America if Bernie of Killary got elected
The predictable conclusion to a socialist regime. They patiently wait in line for food, not because they are patient people but because they don’t want to be shot by there Owen military….
Good god at all the Dumpbots…
He’s a 4 year old with a toupee and a silver tongue.
Try that in Texas….
US invade? No, try kidnapping and IMPORTING them. Obama loves socialists
He showed his colors pretty quickly. My stuff is OK, but your stuff isn’t. And if you’re stuff is Israeli, or anything else my socialist masters have told me is bad, that sucks too. Vargas, we’re not buying your distribute the wealth bs.
So not only is the socialist model foolish, their leaders are corrupt and looted the system to the tune of trillions. Just like both the Dems and Republicans here. Same scam. But we’re getting wise to their c**p.
