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.

Well because the U.S. has 7 military bases in Colombia and they have moved their troops to the border with Venezuela.
If it wasn’t for UNASUR Venezuela would of had been invaded by the U.S. already.
If you’d have any knoledge of politics and of how exterior policy actually works you’d know this by now, there’s no need to be a rocket scientist.
Don’t act like there is no such thing as a successful socialist country were the standard of living is better for the masses , yes would think capitalism is good if you take out the greed but it is possible to have some a form a mixture of both we already have that in this country and Marvin Crawford go$#%&!@*yourself
This can be the US in a couple of years if the people let it happen. By voting for Sanders or Hillery we could be just like Venezuela.
