Fail rate -- 100% and counting. And to think some of our resident geniuses are pushing this style of government...... Incredible.
Every time, every single time, socialism is tried it fails. Spectacularly.
Every Freedom-Loving American predicted this the minute that scumbag 'Ugo took over (may he roast in hell). And now?
Now look at what they've done.
Pretty words can only do so much. And you eventually run out of other people's money
Venezuela Descends Into Madness, Rioting And Hysteria
But Â…SocialismÂ….
Via
Daily Beast:
“I want to get out of here. I want to leave this country as soon as possible and never come back.”
The text from my friend Luis surprised me. A lawyer by training, he got his masters in urban planning from an elite Manhattan university, and had returned to Venezuela full of hope. He was hired by a local NGO working on poverty abatement issues. But now, heÂ’s fed up.
“Nothing works. There are lines to buy everything. Prices have gone through the roof. You can’t go out at night for fear of getting shot. If you want to get married, finding a place to live is impossible. The country has become unlivable.”
LuisÂ’s story is a depressingly common one on the streets of VenezuelaÂ’s major urban centers. The nationÂ’s young people are tired of enduring one of the worldÂ’s highest inflation rates, highest murder rates, scarcity of basic staples like toilet paper, and the near certainty that things are going to get worse before they get better. A few days ago, the Associated Press reported on Venezuelans camping on the sidewalk to get information about emigrating to Ireland.
This is more a failure of conservative Catholicism and anti-abortion.
Too many people, no industry, no jobs.
What a woman told me was going on there, because her son moved there to be with his family but she was begging him to move back to America:
the dictating/political powers in charge have empowered their mobs to take over malls and given out TV to appease the masses to keep them under their control.
there is no check on govt, so the parties in charge run things for their benefit at the expense of all else. it is corrupt, dangerous, and run by mob politics.
the pacifists I know who believe in socialism or communism by choice are against this same oppression from top down political abuse of power to control resources for the few.
we are opposed to the same corruption in either system.
you can blame socialism or capitalism for opening the door to political abuse,
but in the end it is the abuse of power to control resources for the selfish few
that the masses rebel against. this cycle happened in the foundation of our
country also, and we are still going through the cycles in different stages today.
until all people are equally educated and empowered to govern themselves
and manage their own resources and economy, we aer going to see these
cycles of too much power concentrated i the hands of the few at the top
whether it is socialism, capitalism, or militant Islamic parties taking ovre govt.
the solution is still checks and balances, redressing grievances and working
independently to rebuild our own local systems of managing resources and representation of interests. people can be of any religion or political label, and want local autonomy.
Not everything within society needs to be ran by profit and that's one of the reasons not everything can be ran by the private sector....Warning people of extreme weather = 1, using our tax dollars to maintain roads, bridges and infrastructure is 2.
