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.

Higher DOW, very few bodies coming home from wars, houses selling again, etc.
And you assholes think we are worse off? I guess you just aren’t working hard enough.
Ummm… did you even google the actual meaning of the word before writing this artical? Venezuela cutrent government is about as far away from socialist as you can get. Especially a democratic socialism… Venezuela is currently a facist dictatorship pretending to communist. The big difference lies in the leaders and checks and balances in a society. Venezuela doesn’t have any of those… Also, no country is 100% socialist… socialism refers to how wealth is redistributed to the citizens through benefits and services. America is a socialist country along with almost every other developed coutry in the world. Whoever wrote that article needs to go back and take their high school government class again… this is just embarrassing….
I won’t invade but maybe watch this collapse from FB.
Bernie seems mild and placid doesnt he- yet he would remove our rights just as quickly as possible. Socialism is a cancer in a democracy. Its obvious you dont understand the bigger picture. As for breeding- that is for animals. Humans pro create. Try to keep up.
All socialists are fools.
To sum it up in one word “SCHMUCKS”.
A “must read” for all American patriots!
It’s funny they want to show us how socialism is failing in other countries but don’t report on Paris or in any other riots where things are failing
Cause Bernie & Hugo are just alike , and we’re just like Venezuela. You’re all D.A.F. to believe any of this.
If I were Venezuela, I’d be more worried about my neighbors than the USA
