This is what socialism is like in real life.
The stupid people in the MSM praised Chavez and what he was doing.
They are clueless as to why it went wrong.

The irony is... now that socialism has made things REALLY bad... the people will now demand MORE socialism to fix it!
This is exactly what happened during the great depression.
And the result would have been the total collapse of the US had WW2 not come along and bailed out FDR and made it appear socialism could work.

I am shocked. The WAPO actually reporting on the disaster that is socialism. Our radical left will probably complain.
Interesting that I had to go all the way to the end of the article before they finally used the name “socialism”.

Someone should make a kickass video of the misery there and turn it into a political ad with a caption like this is your country on socialism-Hillary’s America...

The end game of socialism is always the same. Slavery to the State.

They just need to pass new laws.

Trying to guess the next step of this dance. A cosmetic change in government, perhaps, with Maduro going to ground in Monaco, and an application from the “new” government to the IMF for a nice, juicy cash injection. UN money, maybe. They don’t have anything left to steal inside the country.

It’s already Ethi-Utopia. And it was entirely predictable.

The death spiral is done on purpose. Communists governments destroy their own people to ensure submission. Only the naive pretend they can’t see the problem. it is on purpose.

No mention of socialism in Washington Post.
Why not? Bolivarian socialism is a catastrophic failure.
