Late Tuesday night, Venezuela's Supreme Court justices -- Maduro appointees -- stripped the attorney general of the power to investigate human rights abuses. They gave the power instead to an ombudsman friendly to Maduro.

Move along, nothing to see here!

This is what happens when you try to apply socialism on a nation that didn't get rich on capitalism first. It should also be a warning as getting rich on capitalism first only delays these things.

Socialist societies breed dictatorships/oligarchies. Somebody always has to be in charge, and that person/people inevitably take advantage. It's the whole "All animals are equal, but some are more equal than others" thing.

The problem here is that you are talking about polar opposite sides of the compass. The 'socialism' in Venezuela is socialism combined with draconian dictatorship. They are on the second of what essentially boils down to a divine right, cult of personality, dictator for life, leader.

Is Venezuela the only country to ever have this problem, or just the only one whose economy tanked because of it?

Of course not. They are nothing like the world leading economy dictatorships of Iraq and Turkey. >_>

I think Venezuela is a horrible example of "socialism" since workers aren't even in control of the means of production, but I'd like to point out modern social democracy is capitalistic. It's essentially a welfare state with some regulations on the markets, and an attempt to reduce income inequity through taxes. In some instances, the Nordic countries have even less regulations than the US even.

Venezuela used to be quite prosperous actually.

Edit: Before socialism/nationalization, of course.

But that goes against the shit-lickers rhetoric. Let them have their words!!! It's all they have in their miserable lives anyway. They get constantly shat on from above but still follow like little kiddies.

It's no use arguing with people that have been conditioned to be ignorant, and further conditioned to want to stay that way.

It's too late for these people.
