When you won't buy food for your people I guess you better buy arms to keep them in line!
Collectivism needs to be outlawed. Its vocal proponents executed.
Before they kill billions.
In other news, a lot of the current college age kids think socialism is great. Was a thread on that here earlier today. Oh yeah, most of them couldn’t change a tire or the oil in a car if their life depended on it - and call the cops if they see a mouse (another thread). But they know capitalism, “white privilege,” and global warming are evil.
/wish I was kidding
They’re not starving yet. That crowd of runners all looks pretty fit. There are only a couple of heavy weights among them, though. Another one of these in 6 months will probably show slower runners and folks looking not so fit.
I am so screwed.
This video exemplifies life under socialist/commuist totalitarianism. It is tyranny at its finest. Then, we have the Pope who demands that we take all the destitute from these hell holes but like a good socialist doesn’t say a word about the underlying causes of mass migration. This is because it disturbs his public narrative that socialism is the grand ‘equalizer’ for the poor, which really means putting everyone in the gutter except a few tyrants. This is the socialist/communist model to pillar and plunder the masses of humanity. A place where only corrupt tyrants get filthy rich on the backs of multitudes of struggling poor. It boggles the mind that there are mature adults, including the Pope of all people, who enthusiastically embrace this bankrupt ideology. And, their ilk keep advocating this ‘doomed to fail’ approach over and over again. It is a disturbing and deeply discouraging statement on humanity’s permanent affliction, especially so when it is embraced and promoted by a man who claims to speak for the One True God.
I recently returned from Colombia but while there a childhood friend of my wife was visiting from Venezuela. The horror stories she told about lack of everything...and the spies for the guv all lurking around.
Colombia has made a huge turn around in the last 10-15 yrs and is a modern booming country. Stores and malls are full, companies are booming and the country has become solvent. Amazing place.
Maduro is a pretty stupid socialist and I’m sure he’s always looking over his shoulder. Maduro is even trying to start wars with Guyana and Columbia to divert the population. I’m sure there’s a general or two that’s measuring the curtains in the presidente’s mansion.
@45 you can see a woman running then shouting “VIVA CHAVEZ”. This woman is so dam dumb she is dumb to realize that it was her Hope and Changey Boy Chavez that led them to their suffering.
