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.

Bernie express !
They hate us but we give millions in foreign aid..why?
I agree 100% the stage has been set its building like a volcano. The world is in total chaos mainly over islam
If the US was interested in Venezuela, we would own it already.
Feel the Bern socialist?
What a joke. If anyone following Bernie thinks for one second that the current Congress will pass any of his maintained laws they are nuts.
Bernie supporters, Hillary supporters, Obama supporters, socialist/communist, liberals, quack Dems, sell out Reps, and basic idiots, what is your malfunction? This hasn’t worked well in any other place on earth throughout history. What is malfunctioning in your mind that makes you think it would work in America? Are you so miserable, feel alone, sad, angry, and or misguided that you want this in our country? Do you feel left out, betrayed by your fellow Americans? Is it a true mental illness? We are not entitled to what others have earned. We are responsible for our own decisions and actions. Everyone must carry his/her own weight, with some exceptions, elderly, orphans, sick or disabled. I sincerely pray for you. With that being said, if you think for one moment that Americans like myself, and there are quite a few, are just going to let you destroy this country without a hell of a fight, your seriously mistaking… From the socialist lack of economics, and the liberals lack of understanding moral compass, and the rights of people to live and raise the way they see fit, this country is being destroyed. There is an awakening happening. Good, and God fearing Americans are sick and becoming angry. God blessed this country, and there are a large population of American Christians, Patriots, and good people, who’s chain you don’t want to tug on… Many have been tugging for a while. Many will not roll over and let you destroy it… Be it a lack of understanding, acquire some. Be it an illness, I’ll pray. Either way, many, and I do mean many, will stand…
Hey vote for Bernie, dumbass
Hey, all you had Hillary and Bernie supporters, just look at Venezuela, too see what you’ll have if you win.
We the people need to organize! Without good leadership we are in trouble.
