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:
Don’t kid yourself Ben Venezuelas economic problems are being caused by the Rothschild family in the New World order. Because they refused to accept the Roth child world banking system in to their country.
Nothing to invade for.
I won’t buy their nationalized Chitgo, I mean Citgo gasoline.
Not necessarily. We were under Marcos martial law in Philippines from 1972 thru it’s Peoples Power Revolution in 1986, not a single shot was fired that day.
Our gov has wanted it for a while now. Remember their president accusing Bush or trying unseat him? lol
Their government? Who are you talking about? The government owns the oil down there. Chavez took it over. The price of oil hurts American companies too hence the many layoffs that have occurred. Supply far exceeded demand which brought prices down. Our government manipulated nothing when it came to oil.
Socialism..at work again… Meanwhile…the naive..light-brains…in America…still think it…works!…lol…
US will be bailing them out in 6 months. Just like we will doing for Cuba.

Venezuela is one of the richest countrys in the world, it has one of the largest oil reserves on the planet. The oil value us about 12 to 16 trillion dollars.
