Venezuela: socialism failed the people

Socialism did what it always does ... enriches the politburo and their cronies. :palm:

And Obama was thrilled to be sucking Chavez's dick :palm:

How many were pounding their chests proclaiming how awesome Venezuela was for its people under Chavez? Especially when oil was well above $100/brl.

Where are you all now? The people are starving and now are subjected to a dictator. Shocking this happened!

Why is it every time we get the socialism post Venezuela is always dragged out as the poster child?

The majority of European nations have a some form of socialism, some with a higher standard of living than the US, but Venezuela is the one conservatives always pick

There are no socialist countries in Western Europe, there is world of difference between socialism and social democracy.

Kind of a weird article.

""The science of the production & distribution of wealth in society — economics — is complex. Even well-thought out policies can go awry & good systems run by smart folks can fail when you consider shortages, trade, war, natural disaster, climate, luck, & the actions of others — things nobody can control. Instead of gloating over the suffering of other nations with different ideas, it would be better to study & understand the real causes so that humans can avoid them in the future.""


Maybe the author can point out where socialism has worked if this was just an anomaly.

Why do the Liberals always drag out ... the All White Aryan Nations? ... and say we need to look more like "them". :palm:

That is racist as shit! ... and you disown a brown nation like Venezuela. :palm:
 
Greetings dumbasses. That is not the type of Socialism we dems work with in the first place. It's like you think if it's not capitalism, it's socialism. Some of you morons even think communism is socialism. When you types get enough brain farts together, to make a half way coherent debate, than you can start acting like the crying baby on the airplane. Only real difference I notice is that it's no big deal if we tell you to shut the fuck up, like it would be to shout at the kid. Somehow I still think this would be more effective here though.

LOL... so tell me which of their policies you disagree with:

1) Taking over private sectors and letting government cronies run the system
2) Taking money/land/businesses from the 'wealthy' and then promising more to the 'poor' (who in turn vote for you)
3) Consolidating more and more power into the federal government
4) Price controls

Because Venezuela was true socialism. European countries are typically a blend. Also, because many on the left pointed to Venezuela back in 2006-2008 as proof that socialism worked?

Every nation in the world is a blend, economic term, mixed economy, even Venezuela, it is not straight socialism, there are no straight socialist nor capitalist nation in the world, every economy has a mixture of both
