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.

You do realize that the reason socialism doesn’t work is because the people that administer it refuse to let theirselves and their family members live in squalor like everyone else. There is also zero incentive to work hard.
Wesley what I’m saying have been saying is being a national socialist is not the same as being a socialist! Completely different! Vilifying Hugo Chavez and Fidel Castro for doing what we all long to do like get rid of big government, big Pharma and being slaves to the global elites. If you just research the true meaning of national socialism you wouldn’t be asking me.
Democratic Socialism is working fine from Finland to Iceland and into Germany. Who says just how hard we have to work and for how much money and for how long? There are better ways to run the world, past(1945-1980,usa) and present (above).
The word “$#%&!@* is a propaganda word made up the west you are indeed well programmed. The Germans never refer to themselves as Nazis. So clearly you have no clue what you’re talking about. Get the basics before you make a comment. Smdh…

Forget everything you think you know and remember that the winners of war write the history.
