    Even Soldiers Are Eating From The Trash In The Socialist Utopia of Venezuela .....

    Venezuela.....take a good look at what the left will lead people to. This is the future of the States ran by the left. Their version of Utopia.





    Remember the rolling blackouts, the shortages of common supplies, like toilet paper, the eating of zoo animals (and domestic animals) because people were starving, the looting, and the spikes in crime? Yeah, that’s all coming from the socialist utopia of Venezuela. The medical system has also totally collapsed, with hospitals not having basic items like gloves or soap. One doctor described the situation as “something out of the 19th century.” Then, there’s the footage of Venezuelans eating out of garbage cans because of the food shortage. On average, people have lost 19 pounds due to food shortages. It’s a total disaster. Now, the military has been caught eating from the garbage (via PanAm Post):


    [In Venezuela, it’s now common to see people rummaging through the garbage to look for food. However, a new video reveals just how extreme the crisis is, as low-ranking soldiers were also caught on camera looking through trash bags for food.
    The video outraged thousands of Venezuelans, saying that those who watch over the country’s safety are supposed to be well fed in the barracks.].....snip~

    Capitalism failed Venezuela. Socialism failed Venezuela. Their government is just corrupt.


    However, your concern for their soldiers is heartwarming.

    Capitalism fails when tyranny takes hold. Socialism is tyranny. Here's the rub, it was the same people rioting in the streets and starving that voted this crap in......they get what they deserve.
    and they are disarmed as well............ and at the mercy of the state

    Venezuela's problem is their economy is a one trick pony.

    The one trick that pony knows is oil, which is way down st the moment. That and corruption sealed their fate. Political ideology really doesn't enter into it either way.

    They were up $#@! creek when the price of oil was high: the government nationalized too many oil companies so they had no outside investment or help with modernization in their oil industry.
