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.

The Venezuelan people are finally getting a clue after over a decade under socialism. Maybe about six months ago, something like that, they elected an anti-socialist supermajority, people opposed to Maduro, to their national legislature in an attempt to isolate Maduro.
At least they’re making some progress educating voters in their country as to why socialism doesn’t work.

We are going to invade…… Right, because we don’t already have our own socialist uprising to put down! Smh
Socialism is all over Europe and it works just fine. That’s like saying capitalism is always allowing people in the United States to bailout banks lol.
They should have elected Henrique Capriles as their president rather than Mad-uro.
It’s like people never took a history class or they would know how foolish socialism is
Gee let’s pick one of the few socialist countries and bash it when there are many doing better than we are.
Socialism gets sold to an ignorant and uneducated populace by educated elitists that use them as a means to gain power and control. ..once that power and control has solidified via totalitarian laws (again sold to ignorant people under the guise of protecting them) and gun confiscation. .the misery begins. The lessons get learned after the fact and when its too late.
They need a General George Washington
More like a cleptocracy.
