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.

Socialism is the system when the government gets all the money and gives peasants just enough to feed them a little so they can work them to death!!
How is it our fault they let the government$#%&!@*them. Sounds like a whole country full of liberals
Keep going down this path and end up like them
Could this be an exercise in how to take over a country? Hmmmmm. Take the guns away, take the jobs away, make people dependent on the government for ALL things., control education, money, resources etc., etc., etc., .
Sweden are you paying attention! You spend more then you have coming in! This is what happens!

This is corporate capitalism at work. Don’t you dare try to establish a socialist democracy and cut out our banks and our corporations or we’ll make life miserable for you by working with the IMF and the World Bank to manipulate the economic conditions until you’re starving and submissive. We’ll send in our death squads to start the killing and the chaos if you dare resist. You don’t give rights to your people. You give rights to our corporations. Don’t take it from me. Take it from John Perkins. He was one of them. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XWuAct1BxHU
