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.

Has nothing with socialism..it’s greed.instead of feeding their people food..they sold the food to other countries..purposely starving their people.
They’d want US to invade…we’d have food
Good thing, God help idiots like you. How do you make it through the day? For the love of God study history a little. Capitalism has raised more people out of poverty. Unfortunately not as many as socialism has killed.$#%&!@* Moa, Paul Pot, and Stalin killed millions trying for a socialist utopia. Moron!
Exactly
???? Get off the crack….you’re a Socialist
I’m a human being. Living in this world with you. I work and love and live and breathe. I share when I want, I keep what I want, I know that I do not own anything. I am sharing the space and what I earn goes to my children and yours as well. Be it poison or prosperity, it’s mine to give.
