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.

Tyranny. It’s spelled Tyranny.
If you are going to make stupid claims, at least spell things right so you only look stupid on
The U.S. Is behind all this turmoil. Anyone who says otherwise is lying or misinformed of U.S. Foreign policy towards Latin America. Bernie, Hillary are Wall Street puppet controlled opposition.
America invade them? 😮
You know it is sad that any country is in ruin. The manipulation being played out by the elites is a global issue. It is not simply a country that is creating this chaos. Countries like russia stay out of it. Putin knows there is a global elite group of bankers trying to take over the world. Everyone knows there is something going on.
When the federal banking system is audited, some of the truth will be spilled. The unfortunate aspect of it finding someone to audit them that is not corrupt and will be truthful about it. I think that is not possible. We are screwed. As the world is screwed because the kind of standing up to them that needs to happen won’t.
Curtis, you are so right. It is ALL bullsh*t. This is the day when the truth is a lie and the lie is believed to be the truth.
I agree Fox News sucks…but I love it when you liberals make a comment about Fox like like CNN , ABC and CBS aren’t propaganda machines too…it’s all b******t
Socialism aways consumes all the easily raped resources and then blames others when they run out. When the blame doesn’t cover the pillaging then they turn on their neighbors. When that fails to solve anything they turn on the citizens. It’s a pretty standard processes.
The cherokees “migrated” here to moron.
Sigh. The title is obviously a dig against Bernie Sanders. If you people spent as much time actually educating yourselves on what social democracy is- as compared to socialism – you would be an informed voter instead of a bystander. Do your homework, THEN you can I vote for whomever you like.
Another socialist success story
