The conflagration that is the collapse of a socilaist utopia continues to escalate in Venezuela today. With morgues overflowing, medicines running out, and apocalyptic scenes playing out across the nation, Venezuelans took to the streets of Caracas today - at the behest of the opposition - demanding a recall referendum to end Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro's socialist rule. The troubled nations leader was not happy and security forces fired tear gas and shut subway stations to block the thousands of protesters.
Over the last two weeks, several provinces have hosted scenes of looting in pharmacies, shopping malls, supermarkets, and food delivery trucks. In several markets, shouts of “we are hungry!” echoed. On April 27, the Venezuelan Chamber of Food (Cavidea) reported that the country’s food producers only had 15 days left of inventory.
PanamPost adds that lootings are becoming an increasingly common occurrence in Venezuela, as the country’s food shortage resulted in yet another reported incident of violence in a supermarket — this time in the Luvebras Automarket located in the La Florida Province of Caracas.

Central and South America plus Africa including the Middle East (less Israel). Putrid are the vast majority of governments within those continents and regions.
In several markets, shouts of “we are hungry!”
If you want to eat, buy pitchforks, rope, and torches. Starvation not required.
It’s because they were promised a utopia. They believed the politicians who promised it. Soon, when tear gas and rubber bullets fail to stop the hungry and angry hordes, they will use real bullets.
One can dream... or even fat old Michael Moore...
I keep thinking of the old Woody Allen movie “Bananas” (1971).
Bern, Sean Penn, Bern!!
Rubber bullets and tear gas. Feelin’ the Bern.
Someone please ask Maduro if the name Ceaucescue rings a bell.
The ultimate end of Marxism is poverty and social unrest, then revolution and the seizure of power by an oligarchy of Ideologues.
After that, anyone who doesn’t shut up and take it is merely ‘disappeared.’
Bernie Sanders fans take note.
