We all know that Venezuelan socialism has been a total disaster. People were reportedly eating dogs, cats, and birds for sustenance. Crime was spiking. Inflation is out of control—and there is what could only be described as gladiatorial battles to get the most basic supplies at the supermarkets. Energy shortages have led to rolling blackouts. Toilet paper is now a luxury item. Access to medicine has been a nightmare, with the country’s entire hospital system operating in deplorable conditions. It’s so bad that some places don’t have gloves or soap. Of course, many Venezuelans have resorted to looting to survive.

“Socialism with its intellectuals and its high theory always fails the toilet paper test.”
The Brown Stain of Socialism skids to a halt.
Esposito: From this day on, the official language of San Marcos will be Swedish. Silence! In addition to that, all citizens will be required to change their underwear every half-hour. Underwear will be worn on the outside so we can check. Furthermore, all children under 16 years old are now... 16 years old!

Working the fields. It always come to this.
Well, you’ll work harder
With a gun in your back
For a bowl of rice a day
Slave for soldiers
Till you starve
Then your head is skewered on a stake
Now you can go where the people are one
Now you can go where they get things done
What you need, my son...
What you need, my son...
Is a holiday in Venezuela
Where people are dressed in black
A holiday in Venezuela
Where you’ll kiss ass or crack
So the middle class opposition will be forced to work the fields. Got it.
Liberals in the U.S. are undaunted. They’ll be in denial forever, saying that, the Venezuelans are doing it wrong (socialism , that is). So, they’ll be slowly doing the socialism thing in the U.S., until it resembles Venezuela. But first, they have to make sure that the republican party becomes irrelevant, so, they (democrats) need to bring in as many “new” voters from other countries as possible, to make voting irrelevant after democrats get enough “new democrats” to make themselves vote-proof.

What really galls me is so many dum-bass American college kids actually went there to work in the sugar cane fields.
Vencermeos Brigades they were called.

Hillary Clinton and obama and the democrat party are wishing they could do this here.
“Antonio Pestana, chief of Venezuela’s farming association, told reporters last month that only 25 percent of agricultural land is actually being farmed.”
Uh, yeah. No amount of slave labor can make up for the lack of seed, fertilizer, insecticide, herbicide, and operational agricultural machinery.
[BTW, I heard that Sean Penn has volunteered to help pick turnips for a few weeks when he visits Venezuela the next time.]
To eat it in lieu of food, of course.
I would imagine, because when there's a threat of shortages, it's one of the first things people stockpile.
