Re: Venezuela news
Call Venezuela whatever you want, Social Republic, Bolivarian Socialism, Chavismo Communism, doesn't matter. They practice the type totalitarianism commonly found in States that used Marxism as a building block. We see it time and time again. I don't think I need to list those.

Re: Venezuela news
Yeah, I want to laugh, but 100 million dead people isn't funny.
Communism is great, except for every time it is tried.
Venezuela is doing exactly what commies do, they control the food, the people have eaten all the pets, most the zoo animals, next up collective farms................. for the people ya know.
On another note. I did see some reports that Venezuelans were caught mailing guns from the US. So, at least someone is trying down there.

I'd go through Columbia, but the Columbian government doesn't seem keen on finally destroying communism in the region these days, which is sad.

Re: Venezuela news
The socialism shtick is the most obvious way for the loser end of a society to seize power by reversing the rules.
p.s. All actions essentially boil down to keeping control or gaining control.

Re: Venezuela news
That can be said for laissez-faire free market capitalism too. Only it is the 1% doing it. It looks to me that the primary cause of all this misery is the destruction of the rule law, and the creation of unchecked power in a small group or an individual.Martin Hash wrote:The socialism shtick is the most obvious way for the loser end of a society to seize power by reversing the rules.

The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.

A small group seized power under cover of doing-what's-best-for-everyone?! Imagine that.

Re: Venezuela news
Not every nation whose economy fails happens to be communist, but every communist nation's economy fails.
It's time to stop going to a well that has never had any water in it, hoping that this time it just might.
That's just common sense.

Re: Venezuela news
I keep saying, it's about power & control. If you're a loser under the old rules, change the rules. Doesn't make ANY difference what the rules are.StCapps wrote:Not every nation whose economy fails happens to be communist, but every communist nation's economy fails.
