The what happened to the previous dozen or so right winged govts. of South America?In South America it doesn't matter which side is in power it ends up the same, that includes right and left govts.Does that include monarchies and tribal leaders?Every draconian dictatorship ever has done the same, have they not?
Not every monarchy, or tribal leader, is a draconian dictator. There have been many examples of people in positions of power, that did their best for the good of the people.
Now did I say, perfectly? No, I did not. But then, no democratically elected "servant of the people" has performed perfectly for the good of the people either.
My point though, is that socialists, almost universally result in what we're seeing in Venezuela. First economic damage. Then confiscation of arms to prevent opposition, then economic devastation.... then murder of the unarmed.
This is how it always is with the left-wing.
Not true. And there are plenty of counter examples throughout the world, not just in south America.
Give me an example? Pinochet was the most notable, but Chili did not end up like Venezuela by any stretch. Who would you point to?
