The “Bolivarian Revolution” of Venezuela is celebrating the 25th anniversary of its rise to power.
On February 2, 1999 — 25 years ago — I was a naive 11-year-old, devoid of any political thought. Today, just as the socialists celebrate a quarter of a century in power, I am barely starting anew, having been finally able to flee from socialism with my brother, who is under my care due to his mental condition.
As they celebrate, cheer, rejoice — I am here, having left everything behind: my home, remaining family, neighbors, and friends, carrying nothing but three pieces of luggage; a worn-out, factory defective laptop from 2011 that’s living on borrowed time; and some savings.

The article describes perfectly, what the Democrats, and their RINO accomplices, would like to do to this country.
If it keeps going the way it has been, someone in the not too distant future, will be able write an article just like this one, about the USA, sadly. 😞

Venzuela missed the boat when they let Chavez out of prison.

"... and Nothing to Show for It" That is not the case. They have successfully implemented the Prime Directive of Socialism. Everyone is now sharing equally in the misery...
... except the government elites.

I am in a companionship, both parties having been equally lied to, and trampled underfoot. It works out for trips and day outings.
