Venezuela In Dire Straits......

It seems the "Democratic Republic of Venezuela" iis now a socialist shithole.

We all remember Hugo Chavez and his grand scheme to turn the entire Country into a "South American Beverly Hillbillies" by promising everybody free everything, paid for with oil dollars.

Well, that was back when oil was $80 a barrel. At $40 a barrel, they can't even afford to pay attention.

So what is Chavez's hand picked successors solution. Strip away any rights the citizenry had, abolish the legislative branch, and declare himself President for Life........or else.

It's not in this link, but just 3 years ago, , they outlawed private ownership of guns, except for those in his private militias. These are, in a sense, the equivalent of every dictators goon squads through the ages.

This is Socialism at it's worst. I'm sure President Madura is enjoying life in his Dacha on the Orinoco.

Hugo Chavez kissed Castro's ass and now he's as dead as Fidel .. and his nation is just as bankrupt. full scale socialism has failed on every scale it's ever been tried. large, small .. FAIL!

the only reason China exists today is because they realized the failure of pure socialism and became "closet capitalists" before it was too late. but they still have the Mother of all Revolutions waiting to happen .. it's called Western Freedom and there is no stopping it!

Louie, socialism is looting. its in all how the leaders hide it without it being so obvious and how long they can get away with it.

socialist Venezeuala appears to have a short shelf life as compared to the soviet union (77), Vietnam (37), China (33).
Hey guys, I have always said that I am all for Socialism, even Communism. That is, as long as I am on top, and enjoying my Dacha on the Volga.
All of the Utopians who long for a Socialist/Progressive/Liberal society will be hoeing potatoes in the Gulag.
