REVOLUTION RISING: Socialist 'Utopia' Crashing & Burning In Venezuela...

[paulitician]

Name someone of influence who has praised Venezuelas economic model. I'll wait.

You dummy........of course none of the progressives are ever going to reference Venezuela's epic failure. The progressive socialist model has never worked in the history of the world. Venezuela is the definitive example of what the US would look like in a couple of decades were we to embrace the k00k public policies of the American left.

Spot On. They were all up in Chavez's butthole back in the day. It's funny watching them conveniently forget and distance themselves now. Very disingenuous folks.

People from all sides of the political spectrum tend to slip quietly away when their belief systems collapse. Just consider how the 9/11 conspiracy tent emptied as the "Truther" movement was exposed as the half-truth, picture altering belief system it was.

That said, Venezuela is only the latest shining example (see: Cuba, USSR) of the very predictable result of stealing the assets of those who risked much and did the heavy lifting to build something only to have it confiscated at gunpoint and turned over to the "Worker's Paradise." Eventually that paradise runs out of other people's money to support it and can't borrow or attract the investment necessary to maintain and expand what was stolen.

Thus the long lines for stale bread.

Spot On, except for the 9/11 assertions. We haven't been told the truth about 9/11. And i doubt we ever will. But yes, where are all the Communist/Socialist Democrats who licked Chavez's boots? Where are they now? Are they giving some of their own personal income to struggling Venezuelans? Where are the Sean Penns and Michael Moores?

There were democrats praising Chavez. Some went so far as to suggest nationalizing oil companies or setting price control on oil.

Venezuela is a globalist wet dream utopia.

The RDean types seem to believe the US has no steal-from-the-rich-and-give-it-to-the-poor choir.

What rational people recognize is the incremental slight-of-hand game the choir employs.

They're very disingenuous folks. You won't get any honesty out of em. They licked Chavez boots for years, and they know it. But how many of them are giving some of their own personal income to suffering Venezuelans? Where are Sean Penn and Micheal Moore today? They've cut and run. They're in hiding.

Republicans love the words "socialist utopia" and "Marxist" without knowing what they mean. In fact, they believe that Fascism, Socialism and Communism all mean the same thing. They believe the words are completely interchangeable.

Link?

Just go through the USMB posts. You'll find out.

Pretty much the same place all those 9/11 CTs are now ... nowhere to be found.

We're still around. I'm a proud '9/11 Truther.' I'm not in hiding like the Chavez Bootlickers are.

Funny, I find the 9/11 "Truthers fit that description to a 'T'.

In grand-gesture stage of presidency, Obama seeks stamp on environment

 

[Meathead]

It's a good thing nobody here is pushing for doing things like they do in Venezuela.

Good one! It deserves repeating!

Republicans choir is steal from the poor and give to the rich.

This isn't a Dem vs Repub thread or even about the US but rather the inevitable result of Venezuela having stolen from those who risked their assets and did the heavy lifting to build something only to have it confiscated at gunpoint and turned over to the "Worker's Paradise." Eventually that paradise runs out of other people's money to support it and can't steal or borrow or otherwise attract the investment necessary to maintain and expand what was stolen.
