Socialism Destroyed His Country, Venezuela — Here's His Message to Americans

10 Dec 2021 ~~ By Douglas Blair

Venezuela used to be a thriving and prosperous Latin American country. Its citizens enjoyed a wonderful quality of life, and immigrants from across the world flocked to its shores to better their situation. All of that changed when socialism took over the Venezuelan government. The once flourishing country quickly became an example for other nations of what happens when socialism is allowed to run rampant. Violent crime skyrocketed, people lost their lives and livelihoods, and neighbors began to view each other as rivals for ever diminishing resources. Venezuela had become hell on earth. Now many Americans, blissfully ignorant of the ravages of socialism, want to bring it to the United States.

Comment:
Daniel Di Martino is amazing, it's a pleasure to hear such wisdom coming from a young man who has had firsthand experience in such a dystopian world and shows such belief in America. He speaks from firsthand knowledge of what he has seen in a country that was once the jewel of South America.
Venezuela has one of the largest known oil reserves in the world and can’t even get it out of the ground now, let alone refine it. Thanks to Chavez and now Maduro they turned Venezuela into a poverty-stricken country unable to support itself.
Progressive Marxist/DSA Democrat Leftists tell us what social programs are implemented. They consider the use of force required to make those who create value to produce for the Collective just as Maduro tells the people of Venezuela.
We see this happening under the 'Bai Dung' administration with every move this administration has made since January 2021.
This is what the PM/DSA Democratic Party wants for America. They think that they will be in power and create their dystopian utopia with no worries with the support of the Quisling Media Complex is backing them.
They continue to refuse to recognize the failures of Marxist Socialism and not having learned from History.
Hugo Chavez was the turning point for Venezuela, he was the 'Trojan Horse' for the easily influenced majority of Venezuela. Is Joey Xi being used as the 'Trojan Horse' of the PM/DSA Democrat Left or is he a willing participant?
Hugo had charisma, intensity and oratory skills, sort of like Castro in Cuba, Mussolini in Italy or Obama in America.
 
Totaltarianism ruined his country. You know, the type of thing where one man controls a political party then gets people put in place to control elections so that he wins and that whoever he picks as a sucessor wins. Kinda like what we are seeing the republican party doing right now.

that one party happened to be a left leaning one…like the demafascist now
 
My work used to take to Venezuela regularly. We're talking about 20 years ago. The country was corrupt then. No business was done without payment of bribes. The people accepted it. People who made any money at all were getting it out of the country - not investing in it. Submissive people who didn't push back in any way. Sorry, but they allowed the corruption to fester and grow. The Venezuela we see today is not so much socialist as it is feudal. A ruling elite that screws everybody else. A submissive population that lives in fear. Just the sort of government that which what used to be America is developing today. The prudent who stashed their capital abroad fled and are living well in other places. Will that be the first high-viz indication here?

The key to all this is submissiveness. Like is being demanded of you right now. Aren't you just LOVING it?
 
oh yeah? tell me what capitalist policies Hugo put into place that brought on the nation’s collapse
Before the socialist government came around the oil companies were extracting billions of dollars in crude and the only money that stayed was what they were using to buy the corrupt government. All that petroleum wealth was being stolen right out from under the people who lived there. To them capitalism was nothing more than theft and they were correct. It's the same everywhere when poor people live in a place with mineral and petroleum wealth. It's far more profitable to steal resources than to buy them. Socialism never comes out of nowhere. It rises from the ashes of economic collapse or brutal exploitation.

I'm not defending socialism. I am taking exception to the description of Venezuela being a thriving country before socialism came along. It was not. Income inequality was appalling. While the lapdogs of the multinationals lived the good life everyone else was scratching along. If the guy in the article saw life there as "thriving" he was obviously with the kleptocracy.

income inequality was much better then before socialism
 
Still not getting the point. Instead of blaming socialism you need to think more about why anyone would try to abandon capitalism it being so great and all.
because leftist tyrants promise the world, and an easy out.

We see it here as well. Leftist spread division, tell their cultist it’s the “others” fault they are poor, get them to vote for them.

Some people buy it

If someone is trying to make a government out of socialism it is a sure sign that a decadent aristocratic plutocracy has been very selfish in distributing the wealth. Socialism grows where capitalism fails to serve the basic needs of the populace.
