This just shows the rest of the world what a disaster Socialism is. Venezuela is sitting on top of trillions of dollars worth of natural resources while their population starves.

They’re still stuck on stupid. Stupid continuous votes for Socialism. Stupid not putting in every square inch of dirt and window sills with vegetables and fruit. Stupid not to cook on homemade solar ovens and save the firewood for when it’s cold.

The people of Venezuela need to rebel an overthrow the socialist government while they still have the strength.

Socialism is always just a few million more murders away from utopia.

It’s what the MSM and the local lying media do every day. They have turned it into a fine art.

“Quite amazing how the New York Times can write over 1300 words on the collapse of Venezuela and not once mention the word “SOCIALISM”.”
Nor Cuba, Syria, Iran, or Russia. All of those see Venezuela as a foothold into Latin America.

There’s only one solution: more socialism! Why stop with a little socialism, when you can double down and go full-bore communist? Really, let's not just dip our toes into collectivism; let's dive right on into a fully state-run economy!

While the push for socialism is the root cause of Venezuela’s problems, the government they now have is a brutal dictatorship.
Funny how it usually works out that way.
