This knuckleheaded a*shole is bemoaning the fact the socialists lost. Pay attention to a lot of the replies SLAMMING the socialist gov't which just got toppled. MANY of them are Bernie supporters yet fail to see the comparison to what Bernies policies would do to the U.S. Oh, right, I forgot, WE know how to do socialism right.

In Venezuela, the 1% won yesterday-there's nothing else you can say.
With the "opposition" controlling the legislature, Venezuela will no longer be an independent country, but once again an American colony.
Social services will be cut to nothing. The oil will be privatized(meaning the people of Venezuela will no longer benefit at all from their country even having oil) and the rich and the Americans will swagger around again as if they are the natural, eternal rulers.
Hopefully, the people's movement will learn and recover.
But for the next few years, there can be nothing but misery.
Everything humane and democratic and empowering for the people, for the time being, will stop. The economy will be "diversified"(i.e., once again subordinated to Wall Street). The community councils(the only voice the poor and the workers of Venezuela ever had, since the poor and the workers can never have a real say under "representative democracy"
The people voted...but they voted under crushing pressure from outside.
And the anti-chavistas here, all of whom have lived lives of nothing but privilege and comfort, will tell us we should be celebrating this. As if "Scandinavian social democracy" can ever be built out of a fire sale of a nation's resources and dignity.
Sickeningly, the "Socialist International"(which is clearly no longer socialist in any sense now)was happy about the victory of the Venezuelan Thatcherites and their leader, Henry "the Marco Rubio of Venezuela" Capriles.
Maybe someday, Venezuela will be free again.
55 replies or so. Have fun. Oh, our favorite pro-gun GGJohn is in the middle of it. Guess what side he/she is on?

Irony, if it had a website it would be the DUmp.

The people of Venezuela rejected socialism.
The people of Venezuela rejected socialism because it failed.
The people of Venezuela rejected Maduro.
The people of Venezuela spit on Chavez grave.
The people of Venezuela WON!

3. The PSUV has had almost 20 years to get it's shit together
and demonstrate that it can run the country competently. Lots of people are fed up with the constant excuses. They've failed so miserably in so many ways that it almost defies imagination.

46. "The Obama Administration's restrictions on currency exchanges did massive damage." Actually it was the Venz governments restrictions on currency exchange that did the massive damage. On top of rigid price controls during out of sight inflation.

53. When was the last time you had to waste a day to stand in line to buy rationed toilet paper?
Don't slam their vote unless you've walked in their shoes

58. The toilet paper shortage was caused by the rich hoarding the stuff.
Their class did the same kind of thing when Allende was in. :thatsright:
And I'm not slamming anyone's vote...just expressing sadness.
More profits for the rich won't solve anything. They never have.
:rotf: :rotf: :rotf: It wasn't the CIA?
Priceless.

66. The pillaging of Venezuela has been finished for a very long time
This election outcome was about halting Venezuela's plunge into communism and starvation.
I don't equate being "progressive" with wearing Cheâ„¢ logowear and making heros out of inept third-world socialists and worse.

67. It can never be progressive to go from socialism to capitalism, though.
And nothing the State Department and Wall Street wants can ever be progressive, given what they've always pushed for in Latin America.
God,I hate these stupid ****ers.

Oh yeah - by the way - I'm about to kick Goldman Sachs's arse...

Good people of Venezuela, I present to you a spoiled, entitled, ignorant, American democrat that laments you trying to end your country's suffering. If you ever stumble across this while searching the internet, please feel free to let him/her know your disgust.
