Isn't Communism a wonderful thing.

People are running from the most recent convert to national suicide. I wonder what antifa would make of that?

The crisis in Venezuela is getting worse.

It is a horror show and growing worse by the hour



So much suffering past, present & future  for so many people ... and all because of a dictator's warped dream

And the government in Caracas is staying the course.

He replaced one social injustice with another, much more destructive social injustice.



Political theories and philosophies, such as Marxism will always fail, because they treat humans as unthinking, conforming zombie like cyphers that will, as one, follow a single socio-political path. Political dogma fails to understand the diversity and vast disparity of thought, energy, aspirations and capability in human societies. In failing to grasp that single fundamental of the species, it can only respond by trying to force humans to fit the choking and stultifying mold created by their warped manifestos.



It constantly amazes me that Marx was regarded as a great thinker. His perverted vision of what a socio political system should look like de-humanised the very people he claimed would benefit and prosper. And yet still some abject political clown will try to impose that same system on his own people.



I wonder what the many journalists who lauded the implementation of Chavez' utopia would be saying now? "It failed because of America!! The CIA brought down the government..."



Another civil war, or political coup with its associated violent extremism, looms on the horizon of a doomed State.

If it wasn't for the middle and upper class folks having the patience to put up with this kind of socialist/left wing Trudeau's nonsense or being directly next to the USA, Canada would have been in trouble long time ago and the debt will just skyrocketed all the way to Mars.  ac_unsure

Venezuela has something we don't; full access to the US market and international markets for their heavy crude. They should be a very wealthy nation. Utopian socialism destroys another country.

Chavez used to encourage the best educated to emigrate. His version of a cultural revolution.

I recently met a Venezuelan woman.



Had a friendly chat.



She told me that she was from Venezuela & tho I didnt even ask the first thing she said was that is an extremely dangerous and violent place.



Funny thing about all these countries with many beautiful women... they are often violent too.

Venezuela's economic crisis could see inflation hit 1million per cent this year, making paper money effectively worthless

Nicolas Maduro has announced a new currency, the sovereign bolivar, which will lop five zeroes off the old currency in an attempt to tackle the problem

He also wants to raise minimum wage by 3,000 per cent and hike petrol prices

But economists have warned that none of these measures tackles the underlying problems and will likely make the crisis worse



That'll work



However, economists have warned the measures amount to little more than a face-lift and do nothing to tackle the underlying problems that have crippled the country's economy.
