Did y’all ever hear about Venezuela paying Danny Glover 20 million dollars a decade ago to produce a propaganda movie touting their great socialist paradise? And that he stiffed them and never delivered on it?

"Will Bernie’s league of converts pay attention? . . . . ROTFLMAO

A liberal admitting to the fact that they were wrong has never happened in my lifetime. Temper tantrums, scream, yell, call everyone they disagree names, change the subject . . . but never ever admit they were wrong. Not in their DNA.

No, because they will ignore Venezuela and just point to the glorious Scandinavian countries being overrun by Muslims and say “let’s be like them!”

The answer is no. Because as any good socialist knows, the answer to failed socialism is more socialism.

No. They're all convinced "real" socialism didn't exist until they did. The world wallowed in in ignorance waiting for their parents to screw.

Maduro is still eating well. That’s the lesson they will learn.

Your remark is so true. For 40-50 years those of us who have followed the folly of socialism have heard “It just wasn’t done right! We’ll do it right.”

40% plus of the American population is all in for marxisism.

They need to be straightened out, by ANY means necessary.

Make being a marxist in America DANGEROUS again.

The Bolivarian Republic....

Why do commies, more often than not, tie their so-called "revolution" to the memories of men far greater than them?

Why should Simon Bolivar's life and leadership lye besmirched amongst the thugocracy of the Chavistas? who took a country still abundantly resource filled, and turned it into the true hell hole it has become.

Berneyrians, take heed.

But Bernie -as he often reminds us - is a “democratic” socialist. Not your average Bolshevik that Bernie fellow, and Venezuela, well they were not democratic, I mean they did not have elections, did they? They did? You mean they elected Chavez and Maduro?
So they were/are democratic socialists, like Bernard Sanders, ugh.

Nobel Prize winning economist, F A Hayak, wrote nearly 70 years ago that socialism was nothing but a road to serfdom. However on many college campuses, academics believe that even communism works if the right people are in charge.

Will they pay attention? Of course not. Have they ever paid attention to the failures of statism? The American Left is arrogant. They believe their brilliance and talent will make socialism work in America where it has never worked before. So they will continue to try to implement the same policies that have brought the Venezuelan people to the point of hunting cats, dogs, rats, and pigeons for food.

That Venezuela is not being covered in the national press is curious, is it not? Is that not a testament to this elitist arrogance?
