one of the first rules of dictatorship is to ensure your troops eat better than the populace if you don't want them looking to put your head on a stick

Remember the rolling blackouts, the shortages of common supplies, like toilet paper, the eating of zoo animals (and domestic animals) because people were starving, the looting, and the spikes in crime? Yeah, that’s all coming from the socialist utopia of Venezuela. The medical system has also totally collapsed, with hospitals not having basic items like gloves or soap. One doctor described the situation as “something out of the 19th century.” Then, there’s the footage of Venezuelans eating out of garbage cans because of the food shortage.

Thanks for posting this. I sent the link to my 25 year-old daughter. She gets it, but a lot of her friends liked Bernie the commiedouche. It’s always good to remind them about ‘cause and effect.’ Socialism (communism’s doorstep) always sounds good until you actually see it in action.
Stuff like this is not only useful as a practical demonstration of why socialism stinks, but also as a little lesson to the hotheads who don’t get why we can expect help from our military stopping domestic tyranny. The national situation has to be completely untenable, as in communist Romania, before they can overcome the mental conditioning they’ve been subjected to since Day 1 of basic training and rebel against their authorities.
