Okay liberals, here's your chance. Pay close attention to what happens in Venezuela. It'll seem great at first because there's still some money left. But that will soon dry up and everything will get (and stay) far worse than before.

Somewhere along the lines the media has to be controlled with an iron fist (can't let the disaster become apparent). And the real fun - the killing - begins. Anyone that disagrees, tries to leave, disobeys, etc.

Lemme see if I understand the cycle:

Capitalists produce wealth. Demogogue comes in and nationalizes the wealth. Wealth disappears. Country spirals into poverty. Demogogue overthrown. IMF comes in to bail out country. Demands privatization of public companies. Capitalists come back and produce wealth. Demogogue comes in...

Etc. Etc.

Liberals are divorced from reality. It won't matter what happens. They will still support socialism and any problems will be blamed on attempts by capitalists to prevent Venezuela from becoming a true socialist paradise.

If they weren't divorced from reality, they wouldn't be liberals. That is other than those who simply see liberalism as a facade used to gain power.

I won't hold my breath waiting for the old media and libs to criticize a fellow traveler.

Say, regarding your tag, can I assume therefore that you are not married?
