Lacking other means of expression I’ll bet they start writing blogs.

Because when you are subject to eating garbage and sleeping in the
gutter, blogging is the first and most obvious option. Yep. Blogging.

Ain’t socialism great? Now everyone is hungry. Except for the ruling class and those with political connections.

Most famine in the world is not caused by droughts and other natural conditions, most famines these days are caused by Totalitarian regimes.

Drat, they put the wrong Communists in charge, ...again.

If only they'd pick the correct Communists they'd achieve that Utopia of equality they promised.

Oh well, back to the drawing board Concentration Camps.

How come Hollywood leftists like Danny Glover and Sean Penn aren’t helping the people? They were friends with Chavez.

Every college professor in the US should be forced to do a yearlong sabbatical in Venezuela.

In fairness to Sean Penn, he’s probably best advised to keep a low profile these days since he (unwittingly) aided the capture of El Chapo.

Also: It’s reminiscent of Paris in the 1860’s where people would line up at a sewer to catch rats to eat; one person gets their rat and leaves and the line moved up.

As a result, long food lines have formed all over the country, with many people reselling their share to earn an “extra income.”

You got to know that won’t last too long.

During the 900 day siege of Leningrad, in the beginning people kept favored pets....but only for a while.

I find it very hard to believe how much the Venezuelans are willing to suffer while holding fast to an ideology that is literally killing them!

Common sense says they’d reach a point of suffering enough to throw off the evil system that has enslaved them - but this just shows how incredibly deceptive and gripping socialism and communism are.........

Soon to be manifest here........if Hitlery is put in office........electing Obama twice was borderline suicidal - but electing Hitlery will definitely be so.......still stunned that apparently half our citizens want her......that alone says we’re most likely beyond recovery........apart from divine intervention......
