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.

I know you didn’t, just saying they are a perfect example if how socialism fails. Oh and that sorry piece of c**p is not my leader. Not now nor ever.

but I guess all those terrorists he’s smuggling into the country are no threat?? Unbelievable what happened to this country with him in office. He must be stopped.
i think they point is they are telling their own people that the US is going to invade to soften the blunt reality that they are going to use their own military to handle unrest. That is just my 2 cents worth.
Omg! No were not….
No it’s not propaganda – you might want to start doing some research.
