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.

we’re not invading it’s a fear tactic used by socialist and Communist governments. Just like North Korea.
This is what the USA will look like if the Burn gets in and or The Bill-Hill
Coming to America soon if people don’t wake up.
I hope we don’t our country can’t take anymore free loaders,now we have to bail out puerto rico and their dead beats who get more on welfare than USA citizens
I may be remembering it wrong but didn’t Venezuela Nationalize their oil reserves, taking them away from American companies and costing them hundreds of Billions in the process?
That’s a lot like North Korea, where the leaders get fat as the people starve.
im surprised they arent shipping their population to the united states
We won’t invade you if you take Obama and Hillary
I guest they told them its Bush’s fault.
We just might, you keep putting in these leaders who know nothing like Oboma
