Yup. I have genuinely liked all of the Venezuelans I’ve ever met. They are outgoing, gregarious people. I feel terrible for them and for their country. But they voted for it.
I have a great idea....let send Barky down there now and put Trump into office and they will be happy and we will be also!!!
Even the most committed, deluded Socialist fellow traveler stops believing the government’s BS that everything is America’s fault once they are hungry enough.
“Lopez described herself as a former partisan of the socialist “revolution” started by late leader Hugo Chavez.... “But now the people no longer want revolution — what they want is food,” she said.”
Useful idiots become useless eaters once the socialist machine is in place
One problem a lot of these 3rd world oil economies have is a lack of business sense in how to properly run an oil business. The infrastructure of extracting and refining petroleum is tremendously expensive, and requires continuous maintenance and upgrades to remain economically viable. Real oil companies like BP and Exxon run on very tight profit margins. They make their money on volume.
Most of these hell-holes run by tinhat dictators loot the money out of the oil industry that should be going to infrastructure upgrades, and in a decade they have an unprofitable industry. And the economy built on it will wither and die.
When you put socialists in charge, it gets even worse. The upgrade money is spent on “social programs” that accomplish nothing but waste money and line the pockets of the “vanguard of the revolution.” In the end, you get...
...Venezuela.
So, how does socialism taste?
Do you want some more?
Those filthy capitalist workers want to get paid for their labor instead of donating it to build a socialist utopia. And don't even mention those foreign suppliers who expect to be paid for what they ship in, instead of giving it to support the revolution.
Socialism is always a bit hit until the people begin starving.
Yup,,
You say you want a Revolution
Well, you know
We’d all rather have some bread
You say Hugo would have a solution
Well, you know
Hate to tell you but he’s DEAD
You bought the agenda
Hook, line and all
Guess you’ll just eat your copy
of Das Kapital
I don’ think it’s gonna be
Alright
..........Alright
Stalin? Not idealized so much...
In the years following his death, Stalin and his regime have been condemned on numerous occasions, most notably in 1956 when his successor Nikita Khrushchev denounced his legacy and initiated a process of de-Stalinization and rehabilitation to victims of his regime. Stalin remains a controversial figure today, with many regarding him as a tyrant.
Not to worry..the U S will send them a couple of trillion to bail them out..To h*ll with Americans.
Tell the people that Socialists taste like chicken. That will solve a couple of problems.
I said it yesterday and say it again today with emphasis....... that’s the worst que I’ve ever seen
Citizens are the government, I feel for them but not my country and its not my problem.
It wouldn’t make any difference. Bernie can do socialism better.
