‘Yes, I’m Running as a Socialist.’ Why Candidates Are Embracing the Label in 2018

Yes, education has sufficiently turned Millenials into ignorant sheep.

Bite the hand.

Chevron said on Tuesday two of its executives were arrested in Venezuela, a rare move likely to spook foreign energy firms still operating in the OPEC nation stricken by hyperinflation, shortages and crime. […]

I think the word is “kidnapped”.

The arrests highlight risks for foreign firms in Venezuela. Some insiders say a fracturing ruling elite is using the purge to wage turf wars or settle scores.

I got news for ya: .whatever you call it that ain't socialism.

Of course it is.

No surprise Venezuela has problems! You can bet that the CIA and others are working, from both inside and outside of the country, to screw over the government - as in "regime change."

OF course it would have nothing to do with the same failures which socialism always demonstrates.

But I will take your bet.

Provide some evidence.

The almighty CIA that brings nations to it's knees.

Good thing the Soviets nor Chicoms never had a government agency to oppose capitalism in America!

Chavez and Maduro bear no responsibility of course

About "Chavez and Maduro bear no responsibility", all people and governments are responsible. Yet, America has never taken responsibility for what it has done in South and Central America. Or maybe you are proud of the way Reagan supported "death Squads" in Central America.

One has nothing to do with the other.

Provide evidence that CIA is attempting regime change in Venezuela.

Since you cannot your claim is childishly naive and the disaster in Venezuela is strictly the fault of their socialist dictatorship

Some pictures of our great depression due to capitalism run amuck. Happens often but the capitalists always get a bailout from the government they profess to hate.

The Depression was a worldwide event, dufus, affecting every form of government on the planet.

Your ignorance is amazing.

Yes, the depression was worldwide, because capitalism was world wide!

After the 1929 crash, Roosevelt regulated the economy - as in the Glass-Steagall Act. The rich hated the regulations and set about undoing the regulations. Fast forward to 2008, and unregulated capitalism crashes the economy - and again, it was a worldwide crash!

Shitforbrains thinks the USSR was capitalist.

No, you don't understand! The Soviet Union failed for the same reason the US economy is now failing. In Russia, a few people - in the communist party - made all of the economic decision, and did so for their personal benefit. This lead to a disaster.

In the US, a few people - on the board of directors - make all of the economic decisions, and do so for their personal benefit. This will lead to the same disaster.

The dirt poor can become very well off in America. I'm living proof. They have a way out of poverty. Whether they take it or not is their choice.

Yep. I grew up in poverty and now retired early with a healthy bank account all because America allowed me the opportunity to succeed.

About "America allowed me the opportunity to succeed", oh yes, "social mobility" is something America once had, but no more. Have a look at the graph and you find that things have changed. America now has dismal opportunities for the next generation.

You need to get out more. I know dozens of people under 35 who once lived in low income homes and are now white collar workers owning nice homes.

Your hatred of America shows you have spent sufficient time in universities to get brainwashed into being totally ignorant of reality.

PS - learn how to post graphics.

About "get out more", I have! Yet, beyond that I see you do not like facts that get in the way of what you want to believe. It is a fact that social mobility has declined in America, and, looking at more than a few individuals (which is a dumb way to come to a conclusion), the youth of today do not have the same opportunities you had.

About "Universities", I see you "don't want any of that book learning stuff!"

Incidentally, I am probably just as old, if not older, than you! And I still like learning things from books, reading research, and listening to people who have spent their lives studying a topic.

That's funny, because the only nations were people have starved to death in the past century are nations that are not capitalist.

Aside from there being lots of reasons for starvation - including weather- are you saying the capitalism pays no part in disrupting governments and causing chaos? Plus, American capitalism cannot brag about the lack of hunger in the US.

Even then, Venezuela's food problem is related to Dutch Disease. When the Dutch discovered natural gas in the 1950s, it destroyed their manufacturing industry. In Venezuela, it was there domestic agriculture.

To say "the same failures which socialism always demonstrates" only demonstrates that you do not know what is happening. The number one socialist organization in America is the numerous "farmer cooperatives", and they are going strong. The largest socialist corporation in the world is the Mondragon Corporation of Spain, and it has been going strong since the 1950s.

First, the term "socialist dictatorship", at least according to Marx, is an oxymoron. About "Provide evidence that CIA is attempting regime change in Venezuela", I did and you missed it. But again, try the article "CIA chief hints agency is working to change Venezuelan government."

And ironically, in the other Worker's Paradise in our hemisphere, the Cubans have "elected" their next President for Life, and the Leftist MSM is positively effusive in praising the regime because the new Dictator In Waiting is not named "Castro"!

Nobody in Cuba wants to move to Honduras or Guatemala. Cubans have food, medicine and schools.

About "Who is this secret group that determines how much Walmart will charge", it is called the "Board of Directors." They determine everything that happens in a corporation. And yes, sometimes there decisions are stupid.

But let me give a better example! The American farmer is always squeezed between the corporations that sell their inputs and the corporations that buy their products. If the price of grain goes up and the farmers start to make money, you can bet that the price of their inputs will increase to take that money from the small farmer. There is a similar story on the output side.

Your response of "Ah, a single man overthrew a government", is just a denial of history. And no, he did not do it by himself. He had lots of money from the US government!

Please get serious, and do not deny a historical event that can be found in numerous sources.

I was making a comparison between the quality of life in Cuba and the neighboring countries with no socialism at all. Pay attention! I see the problems your teachers had with you.
