You wanted Socialism, Venezuela, learn to love it, and quit complaining, you're becoming Useless Idiots.

othing was going to stop Nelson Rivas from joining the Taking Caracas demonstration on Thursday — not his wheelchair, not the six-mile distance over uneven pavement, not the whiffs of tear gas, not the ominous threats of arrests from President Nicolas Maduro.
“I came to demand that the recall election take place according to the constitution,” said Rivas, 35. “Whatever your point of view, the condition of the country is the worst.”
Rivas took his place in the ranks that filled Francisco de Miranda Avenue, one of three main streets in the capital brimming with thousands and thousands of protesters, mostly dressed in white. Surrounding him were people carrying posters reading “No more socialism,” “Maduro Out,” and “Venezuela wants a recall.”
Marchers such as Rivas said life in Venezuela has become a daily ordeal of standing in endless lines for food, for government services, for medical care.
The demonstration, aimed at speeding up a recall campaign against the 53-year-old president, was also a forceful repudiation of the leftist politics that are falling out of favor across Latin America.
At its peak in 2008, the left held the presidencies of eight of the 10 most populous countries in South and Central America. But those regimes have lost popularity as steep drops in commodity prices badly damaged their economies and left less money to spend on the poor.

GO SOCIALISM!!!
GO VENEZUELA!!!
GO CUBA!!!!
It is clever....they are leaving he country by the busload.
Obama might just step into this sh** hole.
Just because socialism has failed everywhere it has been implemented doesn’t slow the liberals her down one bit from trying to ram it down our throats.
Time for Maduro to have his plane filled with cash to start warming up on the Tarmac.
I’m actually enjoying this - its like a science experiment for children that works every time. Socialism is a failure, always and everywhere. A little bit of socialism is a little bit of evil and a lot of socialism is a lot of evil.
Sadly, the world seems to need a constantly running example of socialism destruction as a reminder. So, thanks to Venezuela for providing that.
May I suggest implementing Romanian term limits?
This is exactly what is going to happen if Trump and Pence are not elected to lead America....if you have any doubt, read this:
And the support for Trump and Pence is getting bigger and stronger, don’t mess with the people’s votes Barky and Hillary, you won’t like what will happen!!!
Dennis Prager did an interview with a guy who lives in Venezuela a couple of weeks ago. The Venezuelan guy was saying that the opposition is almost as wacko leftist as the Hugo Chavez party. So, even if this recall succeeds (it won't), you would still be able to cheer for socialism in Venezuela.
If the US would just stop meddling, Maduro would be able to put a roll of toilet paper in every bathroom.
You wanted Socialism, Venezuela, learn to love it, and quit complaining, you're becoming Useless Idiots.
AKA the Ceausescu Protocol.
Bernie Sanders, the only out-of-the-closet socialist in the Congress, gets a total pass.
For those who say that there’s nothing wrong with a little socialism, I’ll offer them a brownies with “just a little” dog poop baked into it.
Before you get too happy about this I have just two words for you:
Tiananmen Square
'But we'll make it work this time! The right people weren't in charge -- we'll do it better! Promise!'
Hunger is the trigger factor. Once food runs out people feel they have little to lose.
