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.

AH yes, another fine example of socialism at work. Nice going Venezuela. Has any of the thick headed liberals learned ANYTHING from Venezuela????? Probably not.
Venezuela pulled out of the IMF and the world bank. Now the PTB are running the country into the ground so they can take over for a song and a dance.
Why would we possibly want to invade Venezuela?
Do not think so and why!!!!
Dictatorship’s and corrupt politicians will do this to you. Incompetency running a government at its finest. Venezuela is the world’s 4th largest oil producer
Socialism is where people starve and die in the streets.
Obama is not a good leader he couldn’t even lead his dog out for a bathroom walk. Lol
No, I think we’re just having fun watching the fall of socialism before our eyes.
Handle your own problems, your government allowed in these people, either take back your own country and leave our US soldiers out of it. If this was to happen in the US you would see Americans taking care of it before out military even got there.
We need to invade them, so we can give them social security, retirement, medical care and all the other benefits…
