Unfortunately, a march by itself isn’t going to overthrow this entrenched thug and his roving gangs of Revolutionary Guards. And a lot of the people marching were just fine with Socialism when it was taking away other peoples’ money and handing it out to them. The reason Socialism works is because everyone, to one degree or another, has a weakness for greed. Getting something for “free” from someone else. By the time you get where they are in Venezuela where people are literally starving, and dying because there is no basic medicine, the thugs are in charge. Venezuela is almost North Korea. The thugs will kill off these protestors and the survivors will be too scared to protest again.

When WTI was at $150, Venezuela was ALMOST able to afford their Bolivarian revolution. At 50, which is in the 20s for the foul slop that Venezuela produces, not a chance.

They are eating cats on the corners of Caracas.

Every professor in the US should be required to take a one year sabbatical in Venezuela.

We find out that Castro, the great Marxist, had his own pleasure island.

The dummy in the socialist paradise of North Korea has his own pleasure island.

The leaders in socialist Venezuela are eating lobster and drinking champagne.

Anybody who advocates for socialism is an imposter. They should be immediately hung to preclude the misery they always bring.

MSNBC told me Venezuelans were matching in protest of the donation Citgo made to the Trump inaugural committee.

Not a problem. We can’t let the world forget.

Any idiot who advocates for socialism here in America, needs to take a trip to Venezuela.
