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.

Can we loan Venezuela our fearless leader, Barack Hussein Obama, so he can straighten out their country- like he’s done ours? now would that not be big og us?
This is what Bernie wants
F**k them. We don’t need to support their fucked up system. Though, as humanitarian aid we should send an aircraft carrier down there.
Garbage media
if we give up our guns we will belong to the ages, fight fight fight is the only answer
Much like what’s going on here in the U.S. with the mindless, brainless people here! All politicians need to be impeached right now, they do not represent us!
nobody wants to invade a looser country, its a liability not a asset!!
