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.

I sure hope you can get out of there Andres. I live in the US and Canada and Canada is probably the better option. The US is going down the toilet.
The inevitable truth of corruption.
Cleansing required.
Make time to move! I here Brazil is nice
John Bonnell no way, brazil colombia and Venezuela are very insecure countries, and brazil is very very expensive for what can you make a month, same as here.
Why would we! They have nothing ? Are nothing they can all starve who cares
We have the same problem here. But we will never except socialism in any way shape or form without a fight.

Take a good look. It may happen here if the evil woman gets in. The clintons are a disgrace to this country. Killing, sex and liars. Vote Trump.
