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.

F**k that we need to take care of our country bring jobs back to our country$#%&!@*Venezuela flush it down the toilet and other countries will learn as well we don’t give a$#%&!@*anymore about you!!
Socialism is a total failure .
Funny how when these countries get tired of their govts and rise up against them, the United states media always puts a negative spin on it like calling it socialism or communism, or even saying it’s Muslim immigrants. Any of you who believe that c**p are fools. Its to make you think that anything that goes against govt of the status quo is BAD and following govt and whatever they want is GOOD. So be GOOD little citizens and listen to your govt throw scary words like socialism and terrorism around and knock yourselves out trying to be GOOD cattle…I mean citizens.
Or maybe the corporate owned media want you to be afraid of scary words like socialism or terrorism or immigrants so that you stay GOOD compliant little sheep instead of thinking maybe we ought to be doing the same
Gee, isn’t Venezuela on the list of countries America wants to invade along with north Korea and Iran…because they don’t have central banks?
Deb your right on the money
I find it funny that people join the Socialism cult in order to “stop the rich people”, and end up putting those same rich people in total control.
This is a dictatorship, socialists don’t get 100% of the vote✌️
Too bad the American population is a bunch of passive sissies that are more worried about sports and bunch of other unimportant$#%&!@*than getting their freedom and rights back.
