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 have nothing we want
Just because you believe one way or support any one person does not mean you are going to get what you want. You are going to get their and their cronies beliefs. The choice is who can you most likely making those choices for you. It doesn’t matter who you support
I just watched a video with Venezuela elite throwing a party with lobster and champagne while its people dig in the garbage for scraps. This is a very sad state of affairs indeed! There is no reason that this world cannot supply it’s people with some humanitarian aid. With all of the worlds billionaires, a couple million in farm equipment would go a long way. Shovels seeds fishing poles rabbits and chickens etc… It’s so wrong to have a country starve in todays time! Government is not the solution it’s the problem!
Why would we invade, we have enough illegal aliens and we already importing potential terrorist. Our plates full.

Why is this c**p showing up on my wall?
Yup!
Bs propaganda that is saying we should let the 1% continue to have control and that people should get nothing. They fight against civil rights. They fight against unions and they fight against health care and education. People need to get a clue.
