After 20 years of economic sanctions and coup attempts….. “this is how socialism always ends”. WTF!!!!!!!
So then, how it always ends if not like this?
I guess it always grows straight into communism, right? 🙂
At least that is what Lenin and all his successors were claiming in one big socialist country that ceased to exist 30 years ago…
Luke is usually good but on this he totally is wrong. What he is seeing in Venezuela is the US strangulation of a nation. This is the American program to stamp out the socialism of Chavez, not the failure of socialism itself. The US strangles many nations like this. It wants oil dictatorships all over the world.
If my memory serves me well, this is a vid from the Obummer regime era.
yes i agree. its not socialism that is failing, it is the sanctions.
Sanctions are not failing. Of course Venezuelan peoples love the sanctions cause they mean America Cares about them, right?
What does he expect from a country which would rather have its dignity – yes including the crime unfortunately at this time – than to kiss US ass. This guy should show some respect for the Venezuelans but instead insults them.
This guy is a real loser.Middle-class US apologist who expects a US tourist destination
but instead finds the real world where people have to survive on very little. Welcome to the result of years of US domination.
The DURAN is printing so much shit these days – real crap.
A 5-year old video.
yes, but still relevant. And will be in 100 years from now as well.
Socialism always fails no matter what.
Don’t talk bull! In many places in the US situation not much different…and this in a supposedly ‘democratic’ nation. What the US needs IS socialism and much less of the killer capitalism. Yes, Venezuela is suffering a lot…and the US has contributed more than it’s fair share to create this situation.
No, Socialism doesn’t end where Socialism ends…Take a good look at the ‘socialist’ Scandinavian countries. The difference? The Yanx have not interfered in their governments – as much as the Yanx would like.
Scandinavian countries are not socialist in full extend. Just yet.
They are slowly and painfully becoming one.
To understand the full “joy” of living in the socialist country, you have to actually live in such country.
