Its not about the Socialism and its economic results its about the POWER it gives the elite rulers over the plebeian masses. Its always been about POWER!

Like all Soviet style socialist countries, Venezuela’s problems have nothing to do with the government or socialism. It is DROUGHT! This time a drought brought on by, hell I don’t know. let me think about it a minute.

Globull Warming! That’s it. Globull Warming.
See, simply by channeling Walter Duranty, I was able to find in just a couple of sentences the source of Venezuela’s awful problems.

Now all that has to be done is for the UN and especially the US to send aid. Especially money aid for their leaders.

We will soon have a “Somalia” in this hemisphere.

We should take the relief pitchers and the shortstops. The rest of them can stay home.

Once Venezuela goes full Somalia the only question remaining is whether ISIS or Al Qaeda will run the mess.

Simple math would easily prove how unrealistic Bernie’s free stuff would be. Maybe that’s why the schools keep creating crazy math techniques.

Shutting down electric power service by de-energizing their grid is a stupid way to save money.

Yet another socialist paradise ruined by capitalist running dogs.

I’ve been unable to find it, but I saw an excerpt from an interview Bernie did on a Spanish channel (Univision?) where the interviewer asked Bernie about the economy in Venezuela, and Bernie flat out refused to answer the question, since he’s running for the president of the USA. It was very telling.

Even more telling is the fact that I’ve been unable to find anything about it.

Gen., the socialist's answer is that socialism was not applied correctly. It just takes the right people running things to make it work.

My reply is this: if the Germans couldn't make socialism work (see the former German Democratic Republic, aka East Germany) it won't work anywhere.

Homer, they just think the fools in Venezuela did it wrong. This will not deter them, or their voters. They are too stupid to see reality because it doesn’t match up with their fantasies. It won’t even give them cause for pause.

I have many close Venezuelan friends. Most have fled the country with whatever they could get out under the radar. Some are still there, afraid to leave their families. One thing is common: they all acknowledge that the only way for this situation to change is with a lot of bloodshed.

Cuba. That's been the plan, IMO.

And, if by some miracle Bernie ends up with the "nod", Trump will lay it all out as to what happens when a Nation goes with his policies.

Might suggest "Bumbling Bernie" as his nickname.

The Swedes have a more homogeneous society than we do and all are expected to honor their social contract. Absent the Somalis, they did pretty well.

Electric blackouts - People were able to keep the courts open long before electricity so this is a cop out and more criminals are out on the streets. Schools were teaching kids 5 days a week in the days before electricity. Again, another cop out keeping the upcoming voting generation stupid.

Water shortage - Who’s bottling all the seltzer water the hospitals are using?

Food shortages - A starving nation but Coke is producing diet Coke. Again, they seem to have access to water same as the seltzer water company. It pays to live in the country with your own water well.

People cannot make international calls - that should be the least of their worries.

Few people, either for lack of money or work, are [not] going out - That’s the ticket. Sit home on your backside and do nothing. Wait for the government to save you. No, you morons, you get up and go out to do what you can for your family and your community and you encourage others to help rebuild.

Public health crisis - Any staff who steals and sales on the blackmarket gets a firing squad at dawn. If you can’t afford another child or don’t want to die in the maternity ward, keep your knees together.

Send the military in to rid your country of its moronic leaders. But you won’t because you’re getting what you voted for and are too ignorant to know any better.

A sterling example of what happens when so-called Communism takes over is the nation of Venezuela AND the Castro brothers Cuba.

Smaller examples exist here in the United States. Every large city is becoming a landfill with Democrat mayors and city government having been in charge for eons.

You’re right.

I believe that at some stage in their lives people like Obama, Hillary, Bernie and millions of others have sold their souls to Satan.

They are Satan’s disciples.
