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.

Y’all want to go down and take it over lf u hadn’t been there well I have
Can I share your post? I’m sorry you are going through this
If Venezuela is the only example u can point to u are a fool. Canasa and most of Europ are all socialist countrys with free college and health care.. so quiet trying to get tyrants elected by trying to make berni out to look like some russian dictator.. u guys are idiots..
Tina Meyers go ahead
I am so sorry for what has happened to you and your countrymen. What do you feel the solution would be? Are the people trying to immigrate to nearby countries?
Since 1998 when Chávez got in power people started to leave the country in 2003, in 2008 until now, more ppl left, there are more than 2 million venezuelans who left, spiritually and psychologically the country is going through depression and unrest, the solution? A new government is only the start, but te real issue is the mindset or mentality of venezuelan ppl, that is the real work to do for the country to see a change, i got robbed 5 times at gunpoint in less than 2 years, from 2013-2015, i’m looking forward to leave the country too, maybe Canada, i’m looking for US as an emergency option, like the last place to go.
Is it really the military? My father- in-law was a CIA spy.
So much news is theatre.
The mass starvation that has already started there will make the people an easy pray for the Gov. murderers
Who said anything about “invading ” them ?
NWO plan to ruin countries and bring us all to our knees. Be strong, Trump is coming!!!
