This article literally completely destroys every point you've ever tried to make against socialism. I don't know why you posted it.


read it more carefully. first of all, it explains why venezuela is a socialist country.


It actually explains how Venezuela transitioned from socialism to dictatorship and how economic troubles they have are the result of the governing body being morons with their money, while Bolivia was smart on how they managed their money.

But nice try.

Sometimes people really need to stop and think for a second: are you listening to a Nicias or an Alcibiades?

I mean Americans don't even know how other democracies work.

Completely ignorant people have completely ignorant ideas. People are either dumb and placated or dumb and outspoken.

Yet another successful socialist revolution.


Venezuela isn't socialist, and there was never any revolution. You could even argue it's not socialist BECAUSE they skipped the whole revolution thing.

What is the different between a Nazi and a Socialist? A Nazi doesn't go around shouting "But that wasn't REAL Nazism!" in an effort to defend their knowingly historically awful ideology.

"These days, the American dream is more apt to be realized in South America, in places such as Ecuador, Venezuela and Argentina, where incomes are actually more equal today than they are in the land of Horatio Alger. Who's the banana republic now?" - Bernie Sanders

For more info, Bernie dodged a question in an interview about a year ago when the reporter asked him for his thoughts on Venezuela collapsing under many of the same policies (he) Bernie advocates for. Bernie responded by saying he is very interested in that, but right now I am running for President, entirely dodging to actually answer the question.


lmfao

Come on, guys. Just because socialism has failed literally every single time it's been tried doesn't mean it can't work here! Those countries just aren't adopting the right kind of socialism.

Bernie and his ilk would rather have everyone be equally miserable and in despair than some people being rich and others not being rich.

That's basically the gist of socialism. Jealousy over your neighbor having more than you is worse than both you and your neighbor living in squalor.
