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?

Liberals disgust me. (Now I don't have to remember to put it on each post).

Because only the left goes searching for that which is not there in a desperate attempt to be offended about something.

"If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen." - Samuel Adams

Many people do not see evil until the gas is flowing into the chamber. That is why they get on the trains in the first place.

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.

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.

86. Trust me - you can fight back

Just look over yonder - where President of Country went to jail and bankers too;
and the people won the case of claims to protect their houses and mortgages.

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

here in good ole America

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.
