This is what socialism is like in real life. Socialists create enormous human suffering and human misery.

When they get to 99 percent, the socialists
will declare victory.

All you Bernie followers...this is where it leads.

Hillary will get us there too...she just lies about what she is.

Let’s hear about whether their middle class is shrinking or expanding under socialism.

How about the “income gap?” Surely some interesting observations can be made about “the 1%” in Venezuela. It’s a ready-made story for some intrepid reporter from the NYT, or Salon, or Slate, or the Huffington-Puffington Post.

Not only that...people have taken to capturing and cooking street pigeons as a source of protein.
Imagine having a chronic medical condition that required medicine to be taken at regular intervals? People in that situation are goners.
These idiot college kids should learn what socialism *really* is before they get all excited about voting for it.

From 25% poverty to 75% in two years.

Sounds like they’re racing toward the goal of everyone being equal.

I wonder what effect will this have on the neighboring countries? Venezuela and Guyana have never really had good relations.

This is what socialism is like in real life.

Too bad the young generation of dummies we have here don't see this and, more importantly, understand what they are seeing - what socialism leads to.

Watching and listening to what they have to say it seems that most of them have no idea what socialism really is.

Many seem think it has something to do with socializing or is a system of people doing social good for each other!

Products of our corrupt education system.

If Bernie finally gives into Hillary and the Clinton machine he should move there and run for President down there.

People get the kind of government they deserve.

The same thing is going to happen here.

The word apocalypse is a good description of the ‘fundamental transformation” Obama is peddling.

Socialist governments murdered 100 000 000 people in the twentieth century. Just think what they could have accomplished if only “the right people had been in charge”.

Please explore the equality that Chavez and Maduro have achieved. A true masterpiece of social equality!

If the Venezuelans are hungry, let them eat the socialists.
