Venezuela now is the USA in 10 years . It’s the democrat party and news media’s plan
socialism can never work. why do those idiots in the media keep propagandizing for it?
No Cerveza Polar? No Cerveza Zulia? Que barbaro!
At least doctors in Cuba get 30.00 per month, and 2 beers.
What?
No tonguework ?
Obama is slipping!
Let’s see....Venezuela is south of us, so that means there must have been a Confederate flag involved.
If I had known I could have taken a couple of truck loads of Vodlka a became Tsar of all the Russia!
NO TONGUES!
The typical liberal would have no problem doing the same here. Killing any non liberal would be a cause for celebration if they could get away with it.
Unless the liberal knows how to make things work, he or she or they will suffer in the end.
Socialism has failed everywhere it has been tried. I guess that's not a clue to these people.

I really liked Polar Beer when I lived there. I can not think of living there without Polar Beer.
Ironically, there’s probably a robust & growing black-market for alcohol there. Importing the stuff is efficient, selling for $33/liter ($1/oz shots) easy. But moreso it’s easy to _make_ in a crashing economy, turning any source of sugars into high-demand booze with just some yeast, water, and time.
Making whiskey was popular in the South US, despite legality & morality issues, because it was a whole lot easier to transport & sell one bottle of “corn squeezin’s” than hauling a bushel or so of raw grains (about 5.3 gallons of spirit from a bushel of grain), and it fetched a higher price per equivalent to boot.
Sounds like N Korea.
Build buildings with no doors, no windows, no plumbing, and no electricity.
People live in them like they are high rise caves.
Okay, I had to look that up - and you're right, nothing else says it like that...
Bernie Sanders may we have your honest opinion on Venezuela’s economic woes? Is it because of the US or because of free enterprise??
You are right. I worked and lived there in the early ‘90s. It was a great place then. Good Beer and a lot of good Italian food.
In Caracas there is no beer
So let’s try the same thing here
Our kids no longer have any fear
Of Socialism, it’s coming here
Lenin spoke of a “retreat” to “state capitalism” but “not too much” on the path to his New Economic Policy. He was essentially admitting that socialism inevitably bogs down and progress forward just isn’t possible when all individual self interest is suppressed in favor of the collective. IOW even Lenin knew you don’t kill off the producers too quickly. You have to phase them out gradually. The end result, though, is the same.
He also wrote a very interesting piece entitled “The Importance of Gold, Now and After the Complete Victory of Socialism”. Gobbledygook in which he essentially admits the new ruling class needs to hunker down and cover their own butts because the proletariat may get a bit uppity.
Yes indeed.
I grew up with a lot of Ukrainian kids and I know about that.
Yes...My friend is an exceptionally nice guy, cultured, loves art and classical music, and very erudite in both English and Spanish.
Can’t figure out how the majority were deceived into accepting socialism!
