The difference between a “Free country” and a “Communist Country”

People wait in lines in a free country because they WANT something...

People wait in line in a Communist country because they NEED something....

It’ll soon be the same here, except every 50 feet there’ll be a plasma screen video of Michelle showing us how to cook.

And Michelle Obama wants to tell them what to eat.

Excellent new description of communism/marxism/progressivism.

Freepers: Spread this description around.

At least it's calm.

It could be much worse (like Black Friday at a Target).

That is the line of people wanting to buy food with their own money, hoping the store might have something worth eating when their turn comes.

hardly comparable to EBT

Wonder if RFK Jr. will go on Venezuelan TV and offer cheap food to the needy... which seems to be everyone.

San Cristobal is generally acknowledged to be the city where this latest series of protests, "takin' it to the streets" began, following a gang rape February 2 that went - according to the government's laughable pattern - uninvestigated.

The government has concentrated much of its repression to this city. A close-knit community of friendly family-oriented people who will put up with a lot and then relentlessly push back after reaching their tipping point.

This line gives you a pretty stunning impression of what that's like — of how many Venezuelans have to get in line for hours to feed themselves and their families every day.

At least they're not suffering like their counterparts under the brutal, uncaring thumb of those cruel, greedy American capitalits pigs who insists their poor suffer the inhamanity and shame of waiting in lines to use their EBT cards..

Oh the humanity!!!!

There will also be a facial recognition camera so they’ll know who is in line, exactly what they’re taking home and if there’s any bling showing.
