With crucial legislative elections less than four months away, Venezuela is tilting toward a major social crisis.

Endemic food shortages have plagued Venezuela for years, worsening with the decline of global oil prices in late 2014.

Now they are the norm across the country. This has stoked public discontent and led to the isolated looting of food stores and supermarkets.

Amazing how the peons believe that the louder they scream for Socialism, the better off their lives will be.

How’s that working in Cuba?
Venezuela?
Argentina?
France?
Spain?
Greece?

I wonder how many look back at the “old bad days” before socialism tried to fix things and dream of returning.

When your economy relies on ONE major export, it’s great when the price is high. When it’s low, you’re hosed. Expect drama in the Middle East and Russia if oil stays in the 40s/bbl or goes even lower.

Add Brazil to the growing list of successful socialist countries

These days, the “greedy 1% who aren’t paying their fair share” are the people who have managed to keep a little food in their cabinets. This really is the model that the Democrat Party wants for America. It doesn’t matter if there is chaos, mayhem and starvation, as long as they are in charge.

Perhaps the media is referring to the ultimate calamity of all - having the communists thrown out.

Typical socialist/commie leaning country. As Maggy Thatcher would say soicialism is fine until you run out of other people’s money.
