In 2019, 14-year-old Amira Hawat boarded a plane with her family from Venezuela to the United States believing her mother’s promise: she was headed to Disney World. What she didn’t know was that she would never return home.
Today, seven years later, the Lipscomb University student speaks publicly about her experiences growing up in Venezuela.
Her family fled the country after socialist policies led them to close their two small businesses, and she’s warning American students the same type of thing could happen here.
“Socialism is a fairytale: perfect in theory, but horrible in practice and reality,” she told The College Fix in an interview.
“There is an appeal to destroy the United States from the inside out,” she said, adding that young people’s desire to make an impact has “been channeled in the wrong way.”
“If you want to be a victim, you can live in a socialist country like Venezuela. It has never worked,” she said.

I suspect the answer is "No".
“When she realized the news of Maduro’s capture was real, Hawat said she felt “pure joy,” describing it as the “greatest gift the USA gave her after giving her freedom.”
Hawat, who says she is not allowed to return to Venezuela, is now spending her summer interning at the Clare Boothe Luce Center for Conservative Women in the greater Washington, D.C., area. She plans to be a free-market advocate for the rest of her life.
Hawat’s message to Gen-Z students who support socialist agendas is simple: “Be aware of where you reflect your victim mentality, because it can ruin your country in ways that will last forever.””

They just did it wrong in Venezuela. Its going to work here.

Right. They just need to install the right (pardon pun) people into power this time. No problemo.
Gorbachev called it, "The Beautiful Lie."
They just did it wrong in Venezuela. Its going to work here.
The left refuses to learn from history. Or....they think “history” started in 2015, the day Trump came down the escalator and announced his candidacy for President.
I appreciate the effort. Many immigrants from former communist, socialist and similar countries have frequently tried to warn various American groups.
Sometimes it works. Too often falls on deaf ears or impenetrable delusions.
I don’t understand why people still claim it’s ”perfect in theory”. No, it’s not.
