The situation in Venezuela has been steadily declining in the past couple of years, but in the past few weeks, it has become so dire and disturbing that scenes coming out of the socialist country are said to mirror the apocalypse.
News reports have surfaced of people having to eat their own pets in order to survive, due to a lack of food in the country.
Currently, 75 percent of Venezuelans live in poverty, a stunning increase from the 25 percent rate just two years ago.

This is what socialism is like in real life. Socialists create enormous human suffering and human misery.

When they get to 99 percent, the socialists
will declare victory.

All you Bernie followers...this is where it leads.
Hillary will get us there too...she just lies about what she is.

Let’s hear about whether their middle class is shrinking or expanding under socialism.
How about the “income gap?” Surely some interesting observations can be made about “the 1%” in Venezuela. It’s a ready-made story for some intrepid reporter from the NYT, or Salon, or Slate, or the Huffington-Puffington Post.

Not only that...people have taken to capturing and cooking street pigeons as a source of protein.
Imagine having a chronic medical condition that required medicine to be taken at regular intervals? People in that situation are goners.
These idiot college kids should learn what socialism *really* is before they get all excited about voting for it.

It’s too bad we can’t exile all the marxist professors down to Venezuela to let them live how they preach.

Not sure you really understand. Bernie and his Bros understand this is where it will lead to. To them, it’s a feature, not a bug.

From 25% poverty to 75% in two years.
Sounds like they’re racing toward the goal of everyone being equal.

Manyoung people are too inexperienced to know what this leads to...chaos...killing...and ultimately civil war with mass deaths.
Bt more mature people do because they have seen history in the last 40+ years.
Anyhow...time will tell.
I am glad Bernie is upending Hillary. either of them are going to be eaten alive (IMHO) by Trump.

No way UN/NWO types want to even acknowledge what is going on right in that country.

I wonder what effect will this have on the neighboring countries? Venezuela and Guyana have never really had good relations.

Wasn’t the Communist Party outlawed here in the U.S. at one time in history? I seem to remember that.
Now, the endorsement of the Communist Party is a resume enhancement.

There seems to be an intentional Facebook-style news blackout about Venezuela in the United States.
Gee...they seem to not want to show mom and dad putting beloved Fido on the barbecue grill.
