That "communist dictatorship" in Venezuela is getting voted out. Reality again.

Venezuela election: Maduro's Socialists trounced - BBC News

Could the GOP be any more out of touch?

And this is where we find out if the socialists are actually communists...as Ann Coulter once put it....."Communists are socialists who really mean it......" So if they start up the mass graves we will know they are actually communists...

I'm no Communist/Socialist, but i do defend Chavez a bit. He was just trying to take his country back from the Western Elites who plundered it for years. No one in the West would give a damn about Venezuela if it didn't have all that oil. The Western Elites likely funded all the candidates who won. They want the oil. It's as simple as that.

That's all well and good, but don't forget he was also trying to destabilize Colombia by backing and funding FARC.

Link? lol

Yeah, that poster needs to read up on some history. He or she would be appalled at what they find. The U.S. has been the key destabalizing force in Latin America for many years. In fact, you could say for the entire world at this point. The U.S. has committed awful crimes in Latin America.

The U.S. does the same things and much worse all around the world. So i don't see why this would bother an American.

Saw a headline recently but never got around to reading the story. It alleged it was discovered a daughter of the late Hugo Chavez had foreign bank accounts worth, I think it was, $2 Billion!!!

Meanwhile, their country's falling apart on several fronts. Kind of like the city of Chicago.

Kinda funny watching so many Americans pretending they care about the Venezuelen People. The only reason their Government has anything to do with Venezuela, is to plunder its resources.

Most Americans would struggle to point Venezuela out on a globe. They don't even know why they're pretending to care so much. It's bizarre.

I got no problem with countries like the US or the UK meddling. However, I do have a problem with Venezuela trying to export Hugo's brand of Bolivarian revolution and the Socialism that goes with it and I have a problem with the likes of Castro and Chavez backing thugs like FARC. I also have a problem with Comrade Hugo, who can do no wrong, getting caught backing FARC and his fan boys pretending he wasn't backing FARC and when they can't weasel out of it crying "but the US does it too!"

When Columbia stopped, Venezuela stopped. Socialism is simply fair capitalism, not communism, dupe.

Socialism: Venezuela #1 Misery Index!!!

Much as I consider socialism, especially extreme socialism, to be a bloody silly idea, we have to consider the role of US sanctions, not just the stupidity of socialism in the downfall of their economy.

You would surely go to pains to figure out how American sanctions brought about the fall of the Venezuelan economy. The economy was completely predicated on the continued oil profits that Hugo had enjoyed and was able to his dictatorship on.

Both passed, and now Venezuela is just another bankrupt banana Republic.

I think they even lost their 7-11 franchises which were big money makers for them.

Venezuelan President Turns to Military After Election Loses



Hate to say this but, “I told you so!” I predicted this as soon as the news came out. It's the only resort of tyrants.



The future there is predictable. The winners may be seated but they will have absolutely no power. Things will continue as usual – no Middle Class with thousands – perhaps millions – in abject poverty.
