If you don’t think Socialism exists in the U.S., it’s to wake up. College campuses are havens for Socialist activity, and one California college — go figure — is actively supporting it.
California-based Scripps College will be hosting a Socialist love-fest with actual members of Venezuela’s Socialist government. They will talk about the joys of starving people and making people who disagree with the government disappear.
Okay, they’re not going to say it like that, but you get the idea. The speakers — as well as the college — will paint Socialism with a democracy paintbrush and call it art.
According to the Claremont Independent:
Scripps College will be inviting two Venezuelan officials next week to to speak on a three-day speaker series praising “grassroots initiatives” of the country’s totalitarian government. The officials, Venezuelan Consul-Generals Antonio Cordero and Jesús Chucho García, will be speaking to students on “African solidarities,” “coups and imperial wars,” and the country’s vision for “a new society rooted in political participation, communal economies and democracy.”
Last semester, Scripps College also funded and invited Venezuelan officials, including Cordero, to whitewash the country’s human rights abuses, drawing criticism from students and even United States Senator Marco Rubio.

You will easily spot the intellectual peers of the graduates of this college ... all outstanding in their fields holding up fencing!!!
The more I think about it, Venezuela is the perfect model for California’s economy.
Students should be required to spend a month in Venezuela.
Doesn’t matter really.
They won’t win.
The homeless under the freeways are far less dumb.
That takes an extra special kind of stupid.
Yeah. They love socialism until they get out in the real world and find out it doesn’t work.
Scripps College is a liberal arts women's college founded in 1926 in Claremont, California, United States, with an enrollment of 989 students as of 2017. It is a member of the Claremont Colleges, a liberal arts consortium.
Seems like a great place to bus in thousands of "refugees" and DREAMers. Thanks Beave Meister.
Venezuela, a perfect model for Kalifornia to follow. But a little hybrid mixing with Cuba would be a nice touch. I mean, it’s for the people, a workers paradise.
Stupidity simply cannot be fixed. Less than 6 years ago the Venezuelan “ B” was 7 per 1 US dollar. Now it is nearly 372K per US dollar. I spent 6 years working in that country and I would love to see the fine California academia spend a year in that cees pit
Promoters of socialism/communism should be sent to venezuela to see what life is like.
