I lived in Venezuela in the early seventies. It was the most prosperous nation in South America. This was before Chavez and the present Maduro. It was good duty back then. At the same time was much trouble in Columbia due to the Marxist FARC. Many people fled Columbia to Venezuela.
Today Columbia has a stable nation and government. Today millions have fled Venezuela to Columbia. Some stay in Columbia and others go to Peru, Ecuador and Brazil. They go to where they have friends or relatives that can give them help. Those that have no relatives or friends are the most in desperation. They are to be pitied.
If one wants to know who the good guys are it is very simple. Just observe the direction of the footprints of the oppressed and desperate. They point to Columbia and Brazil.
There is a bridge between Columbia and Venezuela at Tarija. I have crossed that bridge many times just as a tourist. Today I have seen images of that bridge that are most sad. It is a bridge of just desperate people leaving. Once on the other side they will do anything to just survive. The men will do any work they can find and the women if they can not find work will sell their bodies to survive and provide for their children and family.
That is the result of Chavez and Maduro’s Marxism. Venezuela once a great nation is now failed. It can happen here also.
Right. So where is Sean Penn, Danny Glover, Michael Moore, etc now that their best bud, Chavez, destroyed their success for the idea of a socialist utopia? Major crickets!
