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.

Sound familar? What the leaders that started this movement said the same things you hear coming out of the Demorat elites mouths. Blame someone else and redistribute the wealth! See how that worked out.
Here’s what my child hood friend just posted this morning. She’s in Venezuela. My beautiful country in shambles. It’s as bad as it sounds and worse. Helping where we can but the problem is so overwhelming. I’ve never been so grateful for my lot in life and having a choice to leave after six months there. But I worry for our friends, and our employees past and present. The government is sitting on its hands and now taking advantage of its new political weapon: Food. It’s a massive unfolding humanitarian crisis.
Terrell Smith you don’t know what you’re talking about.
Matt Jones what makes you think the leader of Venezuela want or have even asked for our help? Maduro can’t stand the USA.
I am worried about the “”pheasants” being led to slaughter”..
