Venezuela's gargantuan marches against the failed socialist tyranny of Nicolas Maduro have gone on low-boil now, but it's worth looking at a good eyewitness report to see how the Mother of all Marches went on the ground. Blogger Daniel in Venezuela has an excellent account, complete with photos and YouTube videos he shot himself, showing and describing the experience up close and personal.
It all started fairly normal. walking down El Cafetal and Chuao until arriving at the Caracas small airport, La Carlota. Still, things felt different, quite a stream of people even though already a lot of people had been going that way. Also my group was a tad late for the official opening of our scheduled starting point (24 total in Caracas). We were in the tail end. Warm day.

Unfortunately, a march by itself isn’t going to overthrow this entrenched thug and his roving gangs of Revolutionary Guards. And a lot of the people marching were just fine with Socialism when it was taking away other peoples’ money and handing it out to them. The reason Socialism works is because everyone, to one degree or another, has a weakness for greed. Getting something for “free” from someone else. By the time you get where they are in Venezuela where people are literally starving, and dying because there is no basic medicine, the thugs are in charge. Venezuela is almost North Korea. The thugs will kill off these protestors and the survivors will be too scared to protest again.
When WTI was at $150, Venezuela was ALMOST able to afford their Bolivarian revolution. At 50, which is in the 20s for the foul slop that Venezuela produces, not a chance.
They are eating cats on the corners of Caracas.
Every professor in the US should be required to take a one year sabbatical in Venezuela.
We find out that Castro, the great Marxist, had his own pleasure island.
The dummy in the socialist paradise of North Korea has his own pleasure island.
The leaders in socialist Venezuela are eating lobster and drinking champagne.
Anybody who advocates for socialism is an imposter. They should be immediately hung to preclude the misery they always bring.

I know. I realized that after I posted it.
Not a problem. We can’t let the world forget.
Any idiot who advocates for socialism here in America, needs to take a trip to Venezuela.
