A favorite Saturday activity of mine involves chatting with a merry band of socialists who clot on a main street near me. Dreadlocked, dreary, and decked in alarming red, they implore every passersby somehow to stop U.S. “imperialism” in Venezuela. From outside Starbucks a mere 4,738 miles away.
Most of us drenched in false consciousness prefer shuffling around, buying things we don’t need, and documenting our largely pointless existence via Instagram. The apparent injustice roiling in South America doesn’t resonate.....
Because the Venezuela of reality is now inconvenient. That’s why you won’t hear Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) talk much about it. Corbyn and his pals here insist on “caution.” That Maduro was elected by the people. A courtesy not extended to President Trump.
The reality must never besmirch the idea. An idea Maduro is so committed to, he told reporters this week that humanitarian aid is not welcome. It would humiliate his people.

All of the leftists I have known have been living very troubled lives because they make terrible choices.
“They just didn’t do it right.....”
Stalin, Mao, Hitler, Castro, Kim, Khmer Rouge, Hugo Chavez, etc., did not have the right ex-bartender economist in charge. They were not massive enough. AOC will do it the right way. Massively.
Socialism works on the short term every place it it is attempted, for one reason and one reason only _ the government gets to keep all the guns, and those who resist are eventually executed, in ever-increasing numbers.
Eventually, the population gets tired of the one-sided deal they have been given, and armed with weapons other than guns, they seize control of the government again, hanging the former despots from nearby lampposts.
Witness Italian despot Mussolini or Romanian despot Ceausescu.
Socialism: man-caused famine.
Communism has killed
A 100 million people,
Let’s give it another try!

20 something bartenders, is there anything they DON'T know???
Bet AOC does not know how to drive.
And recall all of the other peaceful revolutions in eastern Europe in 1989, where communist regimes fell one by one like dominoes.
The Soviet Union dissolved.
Who knows what would have happened in China, if not for the Tiananmen Square Massacre.
And the Tiananmen Square massacre showed us all, that these communist/socialist regimes stay in power by force. If the true will of the people is allowed to be expressed, they would be overthrown.
Just like those sleazy late night infomercials and free lunch seminars pushing the same old get rich scams, socialism is repackaged and marketed to each passing generation of useful idiots as something new and REVOLUTIONARY. Like buying real estate with no $$$ down. Or making a killing in stocks regardless of market conditions. Or investing thousands in the latest snake oil while building a downline or some other unworkable pyramid racket. Just like those scams, it’s the DREAM of a socialist utopia that’s being sold. And they think they’re slick by throwing Stalin, Mao, Ho, etc under the bus telling the latest generation of dupes other systems failed because they were implemented wrong, but THEY have a proven sustem that works. Those 4 deadly words, THIS TIME IT’S DIFFERENT! And like the red doper diaper babies and hippies before them, too many millenials fall for this crap like so many brainwashed little puppies.
“An idea Maduro is so committed to, he told reporters this week that humanitarian aid is not welcome. It would humiliate his people.”
John Semmens has some stiff competition.
Every single one of the prior socialist failures said this very promise.
Hey, this time it just might work. After all in charge we will have a blowhard who has never owned a business nor held a real job, and an airhead whose last job was being a bartender. What could possibly go wrong?
Communism has killed
A 100 million people,
Also since Hitler and Tojo were not communists, it is better to use “Socialism”
The more truthful statement would be:
Socialism murdered
160 million people in the 20th century
Blow enough people’s heads off and eventually one of them will spontaneously grow a new head and be just fine.....that’s how likely it is for socialism to “work this time”....
I took it from an Old
Protest Warrior sign,
Good Times.
