And yet many tenured professors at Western universities sing the praises of Marxism. Pay not attention to the failures. It’s work here because we’re really (weally) smart they insist.
And their sheeple students lap it up.

That country pretty much is gone. South America is in big time trouble.

On the positive side, it’s my understanding that Venezuela doesn’t have a major race issue simmering in the background, like Zimbabwe. The only real pockets of wealth in the country are in the pockets of the politically connected, which includes to a lesser degree, the military.
Venezuela is a laboratory for terminal socialism.

From the article:
"And it shows how dangerous populism can be. So a leftist / communist dictator destroys his country and it's a warning not to vote for Trump. Got it.

....Until the same “sheeple students” get out into the REAL WORLD after graduation.

Atlas ping. Venezuela has entered Part 3 (the last ten chapters) of Atlas Shrugged.

I picked up on that too. It was a pretty good article until that last line. Commies never learn.

Well, there’s no Juan Galt waiting to make the sign of the Bolivar.

This is why American communists need to be neutralized with extreme prejudice, before they get so strong that they cannot be rooted out.
This election will be the last peaceful attempt to destroy these MF’s.
Trump or all bets are off.

Far too complicated for Obama-loving liberals to comprehend. They just can’t put 2 and 2 together.

If only Venezuela weren’t totally devoid of natural resources like oil, Marxism would have worked there. /s
