1992 Venezuela became the 3rd richest nation in this hemisphere.

2001 Voted in first socialist president due to "income inequality."

2004 Private Healthcare is completely socialized.

2007 All "higher education" becomes "FREE."

2009 Socialists banned all private ownership of guns.

2012 bernie Sanders praises their "American Dream."

2014 All opposition leaders are imprisoned.

2016 Food/Healthcare shortages become widespread.

2017 Constitution and elections are suspended.

2019 Unarmed citizens are massacred by own government.

It took one generation of progressive leadership to plunge the country into civil war.

Wrong. It took subversive actions by the American Empire to bring down the nation. Much like it did to Cuba and other nations, if the empire’s big corporate owners dislike you they will screw you.

How many have died because of economic sanctions by the empire?

You forgot about the government confiscation of virtually all companies/corporations including foreign companies.

And your happy with the fact they imprisoned all political opposition leaders right?

The big problem was 2001 when they elected a socialist to fix "income inequality"

Wrong again. They haven’t imprisoned opposition leaders. Stop consuming Fox News propaganda. Juan Guaidó is not in prison.

Julian Assange is in prison. Manning was too. Snowden would be. Think about that.

Yes electing a socialist is not acceptable to the empire. The people have no say. They must do what the empire says and allow US corporations to rape the land and the people.

WAKE UP!

WAKE UP!

CARACAS (Reuters) - Venezuela jailed two leading critics of President Nicolas Maduro on Tuesday in a fresh blow to the opposition after the election of a new political body with sweeping powers to strengthen the hand of the leftist government.

About 120 people have been killed in more than four months of anti-government street protests, including at least 10 during Sunday’s vote.

Maduro says the constituent assembly was designed to restore peace to Venezuela. Lopez and Ledezma had called for protests against Sunday’s vote. In addition to rewriting the constitution, the legislative superbody will have the power to dissolve the opposition-led congress, eliminating any institutional check on Maduro’s powers.

Venezuela is a petrostate, dependent on oil revenue. their economy wasnt diverse enough, and hey spent through the roof with social projects. It was their own mismanagement, not the "empire" that led to their downfall.

Wrong.

Apparently you’re unaware Venezuela has oil reserves greater than Saudi Arabia. Is Saudi Arabia some kind of capitalist ideal to you? How much do they spend on social programs? What do the Persian Gulf nations have but oil?

Venezula would be doing great economically if not for the empire’s sanctions.

I love how the idiot right wingers only ever blame leftists for all of the problems in a country.

Venezuela's current problems are related to the fact that the nation only has one marketable resource - oil. When oil prices are high, the country is awash in cash. When they're low, the country goes to hell in a handbasket.

leftist policy kills

Extremist authoritarianism kills. Republicans are being taught by their leaders to hate Democrats. Young white men are being taught that the world is against them. That's not true either.

And on the 4th of July, Americans are out killing one another like never before.

Check the timeline again. It was corruption and mismanagment that brought them down. Socialists like THAT, don't create opportunity for their people. They take away from some, punish some, make others dependent on the government and then when it falls apart they are left making excuses and blaming others. All the while, the one or two percent at the very top got theirs.

We know what we see. Violence can happen anywhere. The odds and percentages though are in certain areas. The people doing it have a much higher percentage of being politically to the left. Again, it can be anywhere.

Not correct. There were no massive human rights abuses. That’s corporate media propaganda designed to denigrate any nation that pursues socialism and harms big US corporation’s profit margins. You’d think you’d get that by now.

A nation with the highest oil reserves can’t sell its oil thanks to Uncle Sam, but they screwed up their economy all on their own. Lol.
