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.

This is what the democrats want. They know it will come to this,
That’s the same thing Russia and N. Korea did. Very fine line between Socialism and Communism and it looks like Venezuela crossed it.
As one begins another falls.
EXCELLENT!
Sounds like they can lie like Obama and Clinton good match up this is what America will look like if we don’t turn it around now.
We have this in the democrats of today
Just as Obama will try to convince us that China or Russia is about to invade and he can’t leave office because he’s the only one that can protect us……
I learned decades ago that history books are “edited” every 7 years and the history of this country has pretty much been deleted. I don’t know what they teach kids today but many think socialism is a good thing. Most teens today probably never heard of the USSR and if they don’t wise up we’re heading for a USSA.
Tom Pepin Trump must win this.
maduro needs to get over himself,his predesessor hugo winnie the pooh turned venezuela into a world class shithole,we have no intention of invading.
