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.

Just as I said would happen in a lost about two weeks ago. When the wheels come of the collectivist dream, you can bet Hillary and Bernie will order the same thing. There is a reason why Article 4 Section 4 was put in the Constitution because our founders even 200+ years ago were smart enough to know based on what they saw in the world that man’s natural end was to kill each other when they do not get what they want. Socialism seeks the wisdom of man to solve the problems of humanity and when things do now work out, the result is what Cain did to Abel. James 4:1-10
