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:
Nazism in Germany was national-socialism which tended to be Fascist.
Extremely racist and totalitarian.
This tends to be the fate of all socialist experiments.
Blah blah blah..we Americans have worse things to worry about like hilly killy becoming America’s so called lead which is still under investigation btw
Americans don’t give two shits about this, we just want killary out of our country period!
We didn’t do such a good job of cleaning up our mess. Call it what you want but capitalism was and is again out of control. I like clean air, look a the history of the industrial revolution and see what we learned. You can’t just dump whatever you want I to the river or the air.
We are socialist now, extreme debt, infrastructure gone, Obacare, Jobs shipped out,no oil, no wood to burn, forestry is prisoners, security is illegals, research,going as planned
So you have not figured out what is wrong about national – socialism ? Then I will help you… It is wrong to make one nation happy by physical enslaving other nations or exterminating them. Your confusion is deep, you are ranting about big businesses trying to control you but at the same time you gladly give up your freedom to a totalitarian regime like national socialism? Go figure. ..
Socialism at its best rite here folks. This is what the Democratic Party has in store for you……wake up America.
Socialism at its best.
You forgot the military is the people so it won’t work out for them
Any kind of government with the word socialist in it will fail for the people
