How many are paying attention to Venezuela?

[thereisnospoon]

Has anyone said what they are protesting?

Yer kidding, right?
They are sick of being poor and being treated like shit.
This after they had been told the Chavez regime would use it's power to give the money to the people.
HA!..The commie fuckers kept it all for themselves.

Mostly for the benefit of educating you left wing fools.

It?s Happening In Real Time. Pay Attention. | Is This Blog On?



How many times do we need to watch your failed policies come to life and die in front of our own eye's before you left wing idiots catch on?

Socialism and communism is a sure route to failure. Yet you keep promoting these same policies here. When the hell are you going to learn?

Please post the names of those who post here and support communism, and the evidence that they do.

Wry Catcher, for one. The evidence is all over the forum.

'onepercenter'.....and that other knucklehead who claims to have two degrees in social theory.

During the Chavez regime, one which the leader promised populist reforms and to return the country's wealth to the people, 70% of the population continued to live in abject poverty.
Once again demonstrating the fact that only those politically connected have entry into the elite ruling class. While everyone else is kept miserable.
There is no benevolence in socialism.

Of course they did. Maybe the problem is you believe the goal of socialism is to make everyone have the same pay or the poor will disappear or something...

The system we support and like has a Middle Class. The system you support has the poor and the elite. Funny how you're so blind you can't see that.

Wow. I should just give u my password and let you tell 'em what I was going to say.

zzThen WTF are you doing posting here??

 

[Uncensored2008]

Unlike you, I don't need to use an ad hominem.
Try reading the book.

"The book?"

The "little red book?"

I've read many books, "Capitalism, the unkown ideal" and "Capital, Vol. 1 - 2." I've read "Man, economy, and state," and "The Conscience of a Liberal"

I know, you've read DailyKOS...

Of course. It hurts you to see that the polices you advocate for the US are miserably failing elsewhere.

To express an opinion and make people like you take time out of your day and post a response.

Don't like it? Too bad.

It does..Socialism is rooted in the common good. Groups. Collectivism.
For socialism to work it first must have a captive market.
It also cannot function unless any aspect of the individual is defeated and forever quashed.
The only way this can be done is under threat of government sanctions.
"You will comply".
Individual achievement and success, creativity and the entrepreneurial spirit are channeled to government for 'the common good'.
All wealth is confiscated by government to do with as it sees fit.
This method has been tried and failed throughout the history of mankind.
Then there is the so called hybrid of socialism and capitalism. This is where earnings are taxed at confiscatory rates. All enterprise is heavily regulated and taxed.
This is the failing system we see in Western Europe.
To date there are some 27 EU nations. 25 of which are subsidized by two.
These nations have labor laws which mandate to business all hiring and firing practices. How much product they can create. What type of product. All subsidized by government. Not for the purpose of insuring success, but to insure government remains heavily involved in private enterprise. Mandates on vacation time and work hours and mandatory retirement and pensions.
Sooner or later these systems become unsustainable.

Thanks for all that but that isnt the goal of socialism anywhere...ever.

The goal of socialism:

To each according to his need, from each according to his ability.

So what's your opinion about Venezuela?

 

[longknife]

There are several semi- and full-blooded socialist governments in central and south America that are beginning to show signs of discontent from the population. Venezuela is the most obvious. One of the most petroleum rich countries on earth and its people live in abject poverty.

Unlike many dictatorships of yore, these face civil discontent because even the poorest are gaining access to information that compares their lives against those of other less socialist nations.

Uruguay, Brazil, Argentina, Nicaragua, and Honduras to name just a few on the brink.

And, Obumbler is so busy playing golf, he can't step up to the plate to study what needs to get done.

Ph yeah -- he's currently meeting with Nieto and the prime minister of Canada but will they even talk about these problems? The other two might want to but Obumbler's more concerned with a stupid pipeline and giving amnesty to illegals to expand the Democrat base.

you forgot the most important part:

The people determining who needs what are part of a vast government bureaucracy that is only responsible to itself, and also controls all means of force.

And has a habit of reducing "needs" by eradicating the needy.

very simply put....socialism leads to no toilet paper....

and thats a bad thing when the big boy capitalists are constantly shitting on you!

Which particular "man" is keeping you down?

I wasn't talkig about me! I'm part Capitalist and part Socialist if anything. My post was merely a reflection of what I see going on around me. In answering the quote "very simply put....socialism leads to no toilet paper" I was being a bit sarcastic. In a broad sense, though, the rich capitalists have "shit" on the rest of us by off shoring jobs, engineering the housing crisis, and storing assets off shore to circumvent paying taxes.
