U.S. — Bewildered Democrats watched in utter confusion today as Venezuelans cheered the downfall of warm, cozy collectivism.
With longtime communist dictator Nicolas Maduro being deposed overnight, Venezuelans have taken to the streets in tearful celebration, baffling liberals.
"What's wrong with these people?" asked liberal Stauncey Billups, watching the festivities. "How can they be happy at a time like this, with their dear, sweet collectivism being ripped away? They must not understand how good they've had it, being free of rugged individualism. The fools!"
Democrats have posed several theories, including perhaps that Venezuela had failed to try real collectivism. "Maybe they just didn't do it right," said longtime Democrat Jason Barrington. "I don't get it, they're going to lose all that free housing, daycare, healthcare, everything. All the joys of collectivism are going away, yet they're cheering. It just doesn't make sense."
At publishing time, Democrats had begun an initiative to help Venezuelans immigrate to North Korea to get back into collectivism's warm embrace.

“Nice, warm collectivism” smells like old piss in a NY City public housing elevator
In the tropics, it smells even worse.

I used to work in Manhattan. It was a very cool place in which to do business.
Except when it got over 90 degrees. The aromas were stifling. You knew it’d be a stinky day when walking to the office from Penn Station or Port Authority if the pavement was squishy when you crossed the street.
👏 👏 👏
Collectivism is warm because it’s in very close proximity to Hades....
Manhattan stinks of pot now, any time of year, everywhere you go.
The DUmmies over at the DUmp are part of that.
The Bee is at it again...
Collectivism can’t provide all those free goodies if you destroy the oil business that pays for them. How was the Venezuelan oil business destroyed? Greedy US oil companies, or greedy Venezuelan power people, or both?
