President Donald Trump surprised the United Nations General Assembly on Tuesday when he remarked that the collapsing situation in Venezuela was not due to the poor implementation of socialism, but rather its successful implementation.
"The problem in Venezuela is not that socialism has been poorly implemented, but that socialism has been faithfully implemented," he said.
Trump paused, and there was audible muttering in the chamber before some tepid applause broke out.
"From the Soviet Union to Cuba to Venezuela, wherever true socialism or communism has been adopted, it has delivered anguish and devastation and failure," he said.

Most all countries are socialist...to include the US. However, there’s this thick layer of capitalist that exist which gives you a mixture of 80-percent capitalism and 20-percent socialism. Taxes, social security Meidcare, etc....all hinge to socialism.
The point of failure is when a government has seized enough capitalist assets....that there is no more taxation occurring, no more profit occurring....then the whole set-up of socialism starts to fall apart. Finland survives on as a socialist state because they make a number of things which sell to other countries and taxes can be collected. Once you reach a point where you have nothing much to sell...socialism will kill off the entire magic formula.
God bless and protect President Trump!!!
Well, we have no shortage of Urban Socialist Utopias...
UN is used to wimpy wussy types like Clinton and Obama
Has to be a complete shock to their fragile egos
Nothing. The NYT has ALWAYS been communist.
48 hours ago: Trump castigated for re-tweeting the Hillary golf ball video.
Today: Delivers the best UN speech in a long time.
“Most all countries are socialist...to include the US. However, theres this thick layer of capitalist that exist which gives you a mixture of 80-percent capitalism and 20-percent socialism. Taxes, social security Meidcare, etc....all hinge to socialism.”
Possibly.
If you use the 10 planks of the Communist Manifesto as a guideline for implementation, ..
How many planks have we implemented?
Liberal reaction: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Socialism rocks its why we want it here, but please don’t tax our rich liberal celebrity buddies 80 percent that wouldn’t be fair
Love it!
A very Reaganesque line. The Gipper would be proud!
What Trump’s really saying is total government fails wherever it’s faithfully implemented.
Social cooperation works well when the leaders are held accountable by the people.
This is a revelation that probably most of the audience at the UN has never heard uttered before. Of course they are stunned.
How dare anyone besmirch that great and benevolent system of economic distribution known as socialism. It is as if one were to deride motherhood, or the sunshine.
Well, mothers have been known to abort their young, and an excess of sunshine will wither and parch just about any living organism.
The Communist Manifesto was a White Paper-like product by Marx, who led some gifted lifestyle paid for by generous donors. Marx never saw a single bit of this dream world in his travels around Europe.
On the ten planks....you can’t show a single society who has attempted to enact these....reaching any form of success. It’s merely a paper-tiger project at best.
We might have reach first base on item 2....the progressive tax deal. But there are over 80,000 pages to the tax code, and tens of thousands of credits...which make the code a joke.
Wonderful, wonderful.
I am so glad Donald Trump is President!!
Also, he mentioned “islamic terrorism”
UN heads exploding today. MAGA!
I hope this gives courage to our allies to speak the truth, also.
Then why does he want to repeal AND REPLACE Obamacare?
Why not just repeal it and free our citizens from SOCIALIST gov’t intrusion into our private personal health care and information?
We have the BEST socialism; we just cheat enough not to panic the herd. Not faithful!
