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.

People don’t know their history, this is what’s happening in the US now. Better wake up and look at the past
As to what happened
Communism and Democratic Socialism are two different things
Such a shame. Was there in the mid 80s. What a beautiful country it was then
Illegals voting? How is this even a thing? So felon citizens cant vote and illegals can? Gtfo
Welfare is for citizens. Get it? You have a federal number. Who are you ppl that your so ignorant about the US?
Lmao it was founded a socialist country until like the late 90’s. Democratic socialism is basically the same except they still let u pretend your voting and have democratic views. We both know socialism is a transition. Giving govt. more control is the answer? All the money Bernie raised with his socialist values was handed over to the Democratic Party. I was on the fence about him until he showed his true colors. He’s a fucking like that crook that bought him. He is part of the same establishment he dawged to raise that money almost like it was planned to create more division in this country. People need to put aside political parties for a minute and think about the countries safety and economy. Which have both been on a huge downhill slide for years.
Let them eat there oil
Venezuela will be big news within the month.
Lol, people actually believe this stuff eh? 🙂
