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.

No Venezuela is in South America. Different continent, same hemisphere tho but yay.
Interesting to see how effective guns will be against bombs
It’s always interesting hear people talking about using their guns to defend themselves against tanks and helicopters equipped with bombs..
This is so tired. Venezuela’s socialist economy collapsed from the fall in oil prices and a drought that has stymied hydro-electric power generation. Try a hit piece on the socialist nation of Germany with their high taxes on the rich and their high speed rail. Yawn.
Another thing you geniuses don’t realize is that tax write offs for a company to move a factory to China is socialism, we’re paying them to increase their profits by screwing American workers.
Tax rebates to Verizon, GE and their ilk is socialism because we as tax payers are paying them for their write offs.
Wake up.
so… you’re all for it then, right?
Montie Barrow, why don’t you ask the VC and the NVA?
Are you going to be in the march on Washington? Do you have the guts? Or are you just talk? Clearly you have a total lack of understanding of reality.
Sheeple , please
