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.

Isn’t Canada socialist? better build a wall across the norther border too. And seal off all ports of entry, then we will be safe?????
Obama would never invade a socialist paradise! Of course that does not mean he would not bomb the$#%&!@*out of them to allow islamist members of ISIS to get control.
Sounds about right
Socialism does not work.
Micheal National Socialism and being a socialist is not the same!!!!! How hard is it to understand? Coke and Pepsi are both cola but NOT the same. Look up the true definition of National socialist.
Micheal your not catching on to anything. Fidel Castro has been wise to this for over 50 years and why would the United States government give billions of our tax dollars to Israel and not invest in its own people who pay tax. Funny you would bring up Israel and sharing the wealth all in the same breath. Sounds like you already like sharing the wealth. Smdh…
Why would we invade that Latin shithole? More leftist scare tactics to control the masses
Unlawful order is a unlawful order
And some in this country are embracing “Democratic” Socialism. It has never worked under any name and never will.
