The Cuban slogan of “Socialismo o muerte” was deeply embraced by Chavez and his friends in Venezuela. Now it appears to me to be becoming like the old Jack Benny sketch facing a mugger; “Your money or your life!”

I wonder how the Venezuelan’s are going to answer?

I'd bet Hugo would take Venezuela at its worst instead of his present circumstances.

I'm betting he's still smelling sulfur...

Chavez wouldn’t have cared, he got filthy rich off of socialism.

Socialism was never invented to benefit the people but always practiced to control the people.

“Socialismo o muerte”

Socialismo y muerte.

If ever a country needed a MILITARY COUP.....

Collectivism. Making everyone equal to death.

The "Venezuela" document is being prepared by Valerie right now. I want you all to study it for
our next meeting. They are doing the right things down there and we all have to be on board.

Socialismo y muerte.

Pedantically, while I agree with your sentiment but for history it is 'o' (or) not 'y' (and).

Obviously, profiteers and looters are destroying the economy. The government needs to execute some of the wreckers to inspire everyone else.

Aye Cap'n..., the floggings must increase until morale improves!

I guess letting everybody vote isn’t such a good idea after all.

First they elected a communist idiot dictator and then a communist idiot bus driver.

[dfwgator]

Yes, I know it uses the ‘o’, I was merely stating what it really means.

"Killing capitalists and entrepreneurs will continue until the economy picks up."

“I’d bet Hugo would take Venezuela at its worst instead of his present circumstances.”

I’d like to think old Hugo is sitting there with a brand new air conditioner, but nowhere in Hell to plug it in!

I have a family member who played for the Braves in the '70s.

They used to do their spring training in Venezuela.

Yep, socialism is nothing but a system of the ruling elite and the peasants. And no one would ever think that the ruling elite should live like the peasants.
