Socialism works. They just didn’t do it right.
Where is Hollyweird?
I feel sorry for many Venezuelans. If the American liberals had their way, Obama and Hillary would have finished off this country, too, thanks to idiot liberals.
They already made things much, much worse. Along with W.
Obama voters
This is the socialism that the American elite wants for all. What a bunch of a$$holes. Planned economies don’t work. Seizing businesses (”nationalizing”) doesn’t work, and is theft. Taking money from those foolish enough to produce it and not hide it, is theft.
Ideas have consequences! - Weaver
America's founding ideas of liberty led to people over government, prosperity, freedom and plenty. Sanders' ideas of socialism lead to government over people and the Venezuelan example.
Why is it socialist countries can’t feed their own populations?
Since when was the NY Slime concerned about humans dying of hunger? They weren’t in 1932 when Walter Duranty deliberately ignored in later coverage the forced famine in the Ukraine that killed millions of people. Liberals have no shame.
How come only the 17 month old in that family starved to death ? Father, Aunts, cousins all still alive.
I’d be a lot more impressed if the NYT would explain why it was a mouthpiece for a raving lunatic, instead of warning people what the evils of Chavez would eventually lead to.
Yes, once again children are starving related to Communism.
Who could have seen this coming?
The NYT couldn’t. The Washington Post couldn’t. No these two rabid dog publications still push for Leftist policy in the United States.
Leftists, Communists, Socialists, they never freakin learn! NEVER!!!
These ideologies are good for only one thing. They destroy wholesome governments and then melt down.
They’re trying to do it again here.
Why isn’t the bastard from the UN shocked about Venezuela? Because socialists stick together no matter how many Innocents die.
Every university instructor in the US should be forced to spend a year in Venezuela to complete THEIR education.
Anybody have any idea if the locus of these starvation, perceived or otherwise, centers around a particular ethnic group? Like citizens of direct european descent or the mixed heritage of largely indigenous south americans?
Does anyone know of an organization that can get food thru to the starving ib Venezuela? Watching is heartbreaking.
Once upon a time, Venezuela was the most prosperous country in South America. It wasn’t that long ago. This is what socialism does.
Ain’t Communism great, NYT? Maybe your reporters and the professors at our leading Communist indoctrination centers/universities should go and find food for the starving in Venezuela over the “Winter Break,” formerly known as “Christmas.”
It’s like North Korea.
The joy of socialism.
The great equalizer. Now allchildren ate equally starving to death.
Yes, who needs capitalism. It has only nade our “poor” richer than tne middle class in many nations. Who needs it?
Notice the tone of the NY Time’s title. It’s written in a detached way, as if starving children were nothing more than stray dogs.
