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.

Why would we bother
Send Obama there
Do we even have anyone near Venezuela right now? Do we even have an embassy there? Don’t worry Venezuela. The United states is not worried about invading you. You’re doing a fine job failing without our help. But Mexico is going to need places to sell its oil and avocados so maybe that will help you out somehow. Maybe you can reinvent the guacomole…
C**p! Another load of useless refugees making their to the Mexican/US border!
don’t see any liberals moving there…they love socialism
What the hell would the US invade them for. Lol
A socialist’s heaven…
A move out if desperation….
Why?
Socialism fails again. When will people ever learn?
