I had heard a few days ago the gov. took over the produce. :(

Shades of the Holodomore.

Karl Marx HATED the middle class.
He wanted them DEAD.

He created a system about getting rid of the middle class by piggy backing his system ON the middle class.

So in Venezuela they adopted his ideas.
But now they’re out of middle classers to live off of.

And that’s not even the most amazing part.

The most astounding thing is that the Socialists are still popular and keep getting elected.

And they’re most popular amongst middle classers.

Just like here in the United States. :)

Socialism.....thousands dead so that a different group of people can ride around in the government limousines.

Yes, the “Bourgeoisie” were even more despised than the Capitalists.

Very sad.

I have met a number of Venezuelans in my life, and have genuinely liked them all.

In the Soviet Union they called them Food Requisition Teams. And more often than not the farmer would end up dead. History just repeating.

My condolences to him and their families.....................It’s time for a counterrevolution..................

I'm too lazy today to research THIS subject, but it seems to me that Venezuela was in the 80's and the 90's a pretty prosperous nation

Do I remember correctly ?

And if so ... it only took one man and 20 or so years

We already have 8 years of the faggot muzzie.

WAIT A MINUTE....Wait A Minute...Wait a minute... Someone call the UN because I know that beer is a human right!!!!

[Red Badger]

And just who counts the votes in Venezuela?....................

But it will work in America because we have Obama, who once worked at a Baskin Robbins.

You joke, but one of the reasons that Khrushchev was deposed was because there was a shortage of Vodka in the Soviet Union.

“Caracas has a 52-story-high half finished skyscraper that’s been completely taken over by squatters.”

Idly wondering if higher class vagrants live higher up....

[Red Badger]

You are correct. Venezuela was once a very prosperous country, until they elected a populist nobody to power......................and he never gave it back........................

[AFreeBird]

WTF! Are Barry’s eyes closed? That’s disgusting. Not surprising but still disgusting.

[knarf]

Holy shit ... you're right !

MLB is closing their baseball academies in Venezuela. After DR, Venezuela sent most foreign players to MLB.

Socialism.....thousands dead so that a different group of people can ride around in the government limousines.

Yup, that's pretty much it.

Except it's only temporary, because the limos need maintenance and there's no one to do it, so they fall apart and are abandoned pretty quickly.

And of course they need fuel.
