Venezuelan donkeys disappearing as residents struggle to survive

[ColonelAngus]

Donkey herds are dwindling as hungry Venezuelans slaughter them for food

Ironic they are eating the symbol for Democrats.

Socialism is a failure, whether you call it Democratic Socialism or not.

Norway seems to be doing fine. No debt, no homelessness and the happiest country on Earth. Damn socialism...

 

[Remodeling Maidiac]

Sean Penn was so right.......

 

[ColonelAngus]

Norway has 5 million homogenous people and shitloads of natural resources that the government actually exports.

the Norwegian state owns key industrial sectors such as oil (Equinor) or hydropower (Statkraft), having extensive reserves of petroleum, natural gas, minerals, lumber, seafood, and fresh water. The petroleum industry accounts for around a quarter of the country's gross domestic product (GDP).[15]On a per-capita basis, Norway is the world's largest producer of oil and natural gas outside the Middle East.[16][17]

Let’s break down specifically why Norway has a successful economy and Venezuelans are eating donkies to survive.

Why do you think there is a disparity?

] The Venezuelan government then established populist social welfare policies that initially boosted the Venezuelan economy and increased social spending, temporarily[16] reducing economic inequality and poverty.[20] However, such populist policies[21] later became inadequate, causing the nation's collapse as their excesses—including a uniquely extreme fossil fuel subsidy[22]—are widely blamed for destabilizing the nation's economy. The destabilized economy led to a crisis in Bolivarian Venezuela, resulting in hyperinflation, an economic depression,[23] shortages of basic goods[24] and drastic increases in unemployment,[25] poverty,[26] disease, child mortality, malnutrition and crime. By 2017, Venezuela was declared to be in default with debt payments by credit rating agencies,[27][28] and had by 2018 entered a crisis of extreme hyperinflation

Nice analogy. Of course the chances you know what happened in Venezuela that created this situation rank somewhere from slim to none. You only know it's a country that had socialism and now it's doing bad.
I will remind you, not that it matters, that the Great Depression started in a Capitalist country, THE biggest Capitalist country and created starvation GLOBALLY and was the catalyst for the Rise of the NAZI's (not it's creation). The 2008 depression was equally felt GLOBALLY made several countries go bankrupt and again was a direct result of Capitalism. So if you think Capitalism is so much superior why is it that Venezuela going down the tube is a failure of Socialism but when the world goes down the tube Capitalism is not to blame?

Why did it happen?

UNSUSTAINABLE SOCIAL WELFARE PROGRAMS.

It’s not tough to determine.

Yes it is actually. Plenty of other countries have more and better social programs. Norway was already touched on but there are plenty others. I live in one of those. Venezuela has plenty of natural riches. They are a bigger oil exporter then Norway. So what happened? Don't cheat and look it up, I bet you don't know.

 

[ColonelAngus]

Come on socialists, let’s really get to the bottom of why Norway is successful and Venezuela is not and why it will not work in America.

 

[ColonelAngus]

Norway has more exports and way fewer citizens,

There are 5million Norwegians.

That’s way easier to manage than 300 million.

Chavez ran the country into the group with social welfare spending.

Why will the Norwegian model work in America, specifically?

I imagine there are a number of reasons why Venezuala is struggling while Norway, with some of the most generous welfare on the planet, is not. If you think the answer is "socialism" you're not much of a thinker at all.

I doubt that the donkeys are in favor of this type of socialist cooperation.

We have to re-invent socialism. It can't be the kind of socialism that we saw in the Soviet Union, but it will emerge as we develop new systems that are built on cooperation, not competition.

People from Europe would laugh in your face for suggesting they need us to defend them from...Putin? China? Get real.

Can you buy toilet paper in Venezuela now? Or do you wipe your ass with donkey skin?

The next happiest nations on Earth are also socialist Scandinavian countries.

Irony Sandwich has been served !

 

[ColonelAngus]

Norway is the example of successful socialism.

Are you advocating to remove most minorities from America?

Maybe we can try it in Detroit and California first.

I don't honestly know how to answer that. Are you asking me, trying to be funny, sarcastic, dumb? Weird post.
