[…] a new invitation has been issued to the current defenders of socialism-from Venezuela's democratically elected president, Juan Guaido:
Venezuelan opposition leader Juan Guaidó, speaking in an exclusive interview with FOX Business’ Trish Regan, is telling those on the far left, including Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. of New York and Rep. Ilhan Omar of Minnesota, that the root of Venezuela’s humanitarian crisis is directly tied to socialism.
"It’s about a lack of information,” Guaidó said about Ocasio-Cortez and Omar on Monday. “So if you want to talk about the economy, we’re seeing 53 percent rates, 1,000 percent in inflation, lack of basic products, medication and food. If we look at the day-to-day suffering of the Venezuelan people that’s not about numbers it’s about human beings. It’s about lives, people who are suffering right now who see their lives in danger and who cannot provide for themselves as human beings to sustain a society and the world. So regarding the crisis going on in Venezuela, I invite everyone to see what’s going on in Venezuela.”
He'd like to educate these socialists about what socialism looks like up close, given that he lives in it. All that free health care? Come see what it looks like in power-darkened Venezuela, where preemies freeze to death without their incubators, doctors have fled the country, the remaining medical staff can't get to work on a now gutted electrical subway system, and Band-Aids are scarce. Free food? The Chavista socialist elites have let it rot on the docks and stolen the money for it. Come see the Venezuelans eat zoo animals, or dine from garbage trucks. The socialist water is now supplied from the sewer. Aid? They've blocked it from coming in. Problems with obesity? The socialist diet has solved it-with Venezuelans now losing an average of

Those stupid twits, and their uncle, “Bernie”, will just say Venezuela is just “doing it wrong”.
No need to tell them anything they already know.
Come on, Alexandria!
Go to Venezuela!
They want you to come for dinner.
Really.
AOC and Muzzie friends think that everyone who has tried socialism was just not as smart as they are and they will succeed. Of course they will be just like the rest of the socialist geniuses. They will preserve their fortunes they make in their “new improved experiment”, sock it away in a Swiss bank and flee when the “new improved experiment” fails like the rest of them have.
Venezuelans want AOC to come for dinner......or BE dinner?
“Hey Ilhan! Hey Alexandria! Venezuela’s democratic president wants you to come to Venezuela”
Better bring your own toilet paper. I understand Caracas has run out of leaves
One might consider that implicit in the invitation... :)
Either way is OK with me.
But wait! Won’t socialism work just fine so long as the right people are in charge?
Lazy Jihadists/Totalitarians ALERT!
Don’t invite them there, forcibly send them there.
Guaidó would be much better but I’ve looked into him a bit further and his political party’s stance, and they are Center-left and border on socialism (They are in the ‘Socialist International’ alliance of political parties around the world. I was surprised and disappointed when the anti/Maduro crowds down there began to shout “The people, united, will never be defeated” which was a old leftist street slogan in Chile against the Pinochet regime by socialists.
she should have screamed bloody murder
Hey if AOC goes to Venezuela, she gets a chance to do real studio shots in cammie uniform, black beret, and cigar in the mouth. Castro and Che, Lenin and Stalin...
Chance to keep her Speaker of the House mission moving forward.
Honestly, I don’t see how Pelosi can let this foolishness continue much longer. I’m not complaining because the Dems are self-destructing.
Cooler heads have already made for the exits: Howard Schultz, Bloomberg. If it was Trump’s plan to keep such serious contenders from competing in 2020, it worked like a charm.
