Socialism,, how many times has it failed, and how much garbage do people need to eat before it becomes clear,, this isn't the way to go.

Venezuela was to be Hugo Chavez's socialist crown jewel,, got help from Castro.

Oooops, this isn't working

Watch Video and then ask yourself,, are you paying for your kids to promote this crap ? Really,, if you aren't who is ?

Exclusive: Graphic video shows Venezuelans looting, eating garbage.

It always turns out this way,, watched this happen,, fast,, only 15 years from start to now and it's almost finished the country.

    "The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people's money." -- Margaret Thatcher

    Venezuela has spent ONE THIRD of its gold reserves,, guess it was to makeup for lack of OTHER PEOPLES MONEY.

    Two Thirds to go,,

    U.S. 20+ Trillion in debt? Where will Bernie get what it takes to make the Utopian Socialist State he envisions?

    Maybe Bernie can donate his extensive VHS pornography collection to Venezuela. They probably still use VHS there.

    Venezuela has a Coke problem. Yet another problem in the SHOWCASE Country for socialism. No sugar,, no Coke,, maybe diet coke?

    Can't wait till Bernie is president? Need to lose weight now,, just hang on,, along with NO SUGAR will be food rationing.

    http://www.breitbart.com/economics/2016/05/24/coca-cola-ends-production-venezuela-nation-runs-sugar/

    Wonder which part of Socialism will Bernie say: THEY'RE NOT DOING IT RIGHT !

    Maybe Venezuela should just go Communist? The state now owns most of the countries means of production,, just "go for it" ?

    Lenin says it's inevitable:
    "The goal of socialism is communism." -- Vladimir Lenin

    Maybe they have, but will inform the "plebs" when SUGAR is available,, makes the news easier to swallow.

    Something else for the Socialist Supporters of THE BERN to think about, drats nothing new only WORSE.

    Lufthansa will halt the only remaining flight between Germany and Caracas from next month, the Financial Times newspaper reported on Sunday. The carrier said this reflected the country's declining economy and the difficulty of repatriating money from Venezuela due to currency controls.

    Venezuela was such a nice place,,, before their SOCIALIST REVOLUTION.

    Power corrupts? Not in this case,, power only facilitated ignorance and stupidity leading to Socialism and a quick trip down the toilet.

    Until a few days ago hadn't read Lenin quotes,, good stuff,, lots of it ON THE MONEY,, but incorrect application in most cases.

    Quote:
    Give me four years to teach the children and the seed I have sown will never be uprooted. Vladimir Lenin

    Seems to be true, about the length of time kids spend at the University.

    We are a quasi-Socialist nation with SSI and SSDI Socialist programs leading the way from decades ago. We are also flat-assed broke, creating dollars out of bytes in a computer.

    Our road to the end may be a year or 30 but we are on the decline and as the current crop of youth grow in age and obtain power in Government their Marxist training, received in public schools does not bode well for people just wanting to be left alone.

    More Socialist tragedy, but not the Bernie Sanders Type of Socialism or maybe it is? Does the Bern drink?

    Never thought I'd see the day,, a country with the largest proven oil reserves in the world and VENEZUELA is running out of BEER.

    People in Venezuelan will need to find something besides beer to cry in. [:(][:(][:(]

    QUOTE: The government controls access to foreign currency, and Mendoza says it has refused to provide the dollars Polar needs to import barley, which doesn't grow in Venezuela's tropical climate.


    Can't the president, Maduro, call Castro to see what Cuba does? Maybe wave a Magic Socialist Wand?

    The guy that wrote this article is PERVERSELY HAPPY to see Socialism's collapse in Venezuela.

    Why is Venezuela collapsing ??? Bernie will be glad it's absolutely no fault of Socialism, country or leadership.

    It's the fault of external forces. Or maybe even rich people.

    "The growing economic crisis - fueled by low prices for oil, the country's main export; a drought that has crippled Venezuela's ability to generate hydroelectric power; and a long decline in manufacturing and agricultural production. . Venezuela's government says the problems are the result of an `economic war' being waged by elites who are hoarding supplies."

    Oh,, low oil prices, drought, etc and war mongering, hoarding "elites", WoW give the good news to Bernie, Socialism works as long as it rains.

    Honestly thought it was socialist policy manifesting its self as burdensome regulations along with trying to "dictate" the exchange rate of their currency, taking peoples property away, owing all the media, etc. etc, etc, etc, etc, (Obama speak,, for there's more)

    Article was written June 2, 2016,, who know what economic calamity will befall the Socialist State, of Venezuela tomorrow.
