Venezuela's ruling socialists have set up a telephone hotline to denounce "infiltrators" they say are jeopardizing the legacy of beloved late leader Hugo Chavez by seeking to destroy the government.

"The enemy who most harms us is the enemy within our ranks. It's the one who calls himself 'Chavista' but is not 'Chavista,' " said Francisco Ameliach, governor of the state of Carabobo and a high-ranking member of the ruling United Socialist Party of Venezuela, or PSUV.

I fail to see what anything to do with Venezuela has any importance compared to other world events. Why is this even a Thread on FR?

I’ve got one for them, a fellow named Nicolas Maduro. He seems to be doing a lot of damage to the cause.

It’s a thread because:

1. Venezuela is a show case of what happens in command-control economies, i.e., socialism as it devolves

2. It is a major player in the oil market and OPEC member

3. The article concerns politics, a staple here, and is one of a long-running history of such articles here detailing for anyone who wishes to look what happens when socialism/communism overtakes a country

4. Venezuelans (the female ones) are the cutest on the planet.

5. It will be happening here in this country in a few years if the GOP nominates another RINO squish and we end up with Elizabeth Warren as our POTUS.

“Coverage and exposure of totalitarian regimes shouldn’t be of interest to us ? Whut ?”

Only as an Example of what obama would like to do

On a scale of 1 to 10 of dealing with outrages of obama ... this is a 15...
