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.

We currently live in a capitalist country and we have had riots and off and on since I’ve been born
Such stupidity, such greed, such useless assholes
Not surprised. Socialism has failed in every part of the world. Even Communist China adopted parts of Capitailsm to be successful today.
Yeah, we are only 19 trillion in debt seems like things are working great. Lol
Then explain to me why 5 of the 6 countries with higher net I comes than us are very socialized?
Oh the socialism Hillary Clinton wants. Yeah go ahead laugh at that statement. That’s what they did right before they took everybody to the death camp. This is your new Americana when you vote for Hillary Clinton or Bernie Sanders
This is what would eventually happen to the US if socialists Bernie and Hillary are elected.
If you idiots elect a socialist, you’d better get use to this. Zieg Heil! !!!!
Lol they’re a totalitarian dictatorship. Love how people bash socialism the Cold War is over if you think socialism and communism is the same in these days please retire from life our world doesn’t need your old ideals. We have more countries now with successful socialist economies that we can’t compare it to the socialism you think of in Russia.
Yeah, that has occurred to me. Scary stuff
