Socialism triumphs in Venezuela

Special Report: Oil output goes AWOL in Venezuela as soldiers run PDVSA

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world...PCS?li=BBnb7Kx


From Reuters - Maduro appointed a military general with no oil experience to run the socialist govt. owned Oil Company -PDVSA.
Armed soldiers with ASSAULT WEAPONS - AK-47 - patrol and board tankers to enforce regulations. Errors result in criminal charges for workers of corruption and sabotage. They are held without lawyers or trials indeterminately.

The result is the further destruction of the only income for the Country of Venezuela.
Which of course, is a Socialist Workers' Paradise!!!
With a typical Socialist hierarchy - the top dogs live in luxury, and everyone else lives without food, medical care, money with any value, adequate housing, etc.



Such a marvelous success of Socialism.

The DPST's such as Ocasio-Cortez and her ilk are proud to have a paradigm of Socialist Success to follow here in the US.

Anyone opposing them is by definition an old white male racist Nazi.


Where is Standing Straight (SS) and the others of his ilk to complain that it is the US that caused the debacle in Venezuela?

It would be nice to see some country actually succeed with socialism, but until then, I remain a capitalist because I really cannot see how a person would have any incentive to work for some fat fucker appointed to rule over them.

don't forget Cuba, the island where socialism reigns.


read that the govt. is having problems funding problems now that aid money from Venezuela has dried up.


thank you Chavez. thank you Maduro. thank you Castro, you guys made their life a nice thing to die for.

Lol, you don't even know the difference. Most European countries are socialist and most have higher standards of living than we do. Venezuela is just another messed up Latin American country that relied on oil to fund their government. Oil prices have fallen and the country was giving out too much welfare and relied on oil to pay their bills. I can think of about a 100 other countries across the Middle East, South America and Africa that are in the same situation . It is what happens when you don't export anything else besides oil not to mention a very screwed up government

Honduras and Guatamela and Mexico are all democracies . So what is your point?

LOL...Obviously you don't know the definition of socialism either.

Please provide that list of European countries that are actually socialist. You won't find many.

Now they may have wider social programs and social nets, but few if any are actually socialist.

what europeans have isn't pure socialism nor is their capitalism pure. what they have is a hybrid economy. so there is some balance between the 2 forms in a number of variants in other european states.



nonetheless their taxes are high and they also have low birth rates below sustainable population rates. the two are linked, this includes the social aspects of the welfare state as how one defines family.

From FZ -

And Your point is ?
If you are of the opinion that Nicaragua and other central American nations are democracies - look again. They are narco- gang controlled and paid by money from the US for drugs. It is not their drug problem- it is the US drug habit which destabilizes those countries. Include Colombia, and other SA countries.



Maduro, Ortega, Castro and other leaders are actively involved in shipping drugs to the US to line their own corrupt pockets. It is how Socialist totalitarianism works.
