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.

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.

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.

I'll give you a hint. It starts with the letter "S" and ends with the letter "T". And it's not "SHIT", although that us what the nation is turning into.

Earlier this week, the Venezuelan government devalued their currency the bolivar by a staggering 96%. Now residents will need to take massive stacks of bills to the store just to buy bread.
They have also pegged the bolivar to a new cryptocurrency called the "petro", which is not considered a stable financial tool.
The International Monetary Fund has estimated that inflation will hit a shocking 1,000,000% by later this year.
"President Nicolas Maduro can now claim that socialism has succeeded in making everyone millionaires," financial columnist Kenneth Rapoza quipped in a piece for Forbes.
This economic crisis has been brewing for a decade, first under controversial former president Hugo Chavez and now under his successor, Maduro.
While oil prices have gone up in recent years, Venezuela still can't pay its debt. They have defaulted on bonds and loans. Violence and crime is up across the country. People are fleeing the country, with an exodus of some 1.5 million in the past two years alone. This is causing strife throughout the region, as both Brazil and Ecuador strain to deal with an influx of Venezuelan refugees.
Meanwhile, Maduro continues to blame the United States and Cuba keeps sending money to back Marxist revolutionaries who keep the ongoing political and socioeconomic crisis alive.
Canada has been accepting a small number of refugees from Venezuela, several hundred annually for the past couple of years. But we recently denied visas to prospective visitors, presumably based on the fears those people planned to stay.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau himself called the situation a "humanitarian crisis" back in June. He's right. But he and other public figures need to understand the root causes of this tragedy.
Which is socialism. It's a dangerously flawed and failed political idea, espoused from a growing number on the political left in North america, that you don't need to balance the books, that income redistribution can substitute for free enterprise.
It's the idea, taken to an extreme, that consistently leads to poverty and despair.
Both Trudeau and Jagmeet Singh offered praise for Cuban dictator Fidel Castro. and the likes of actor Sean Penn and filmmaker Michael Moore shamefully befriended and defended Chavez.
Enough with the illusions. Venezuela is a cautionary tale.

Muslims belong in the Middle East, if the Jews insist on keeping Israel, their geographical situation almost certainly means that they will constantly be at war with Islamics.
