NYTimes: Venezuela is a Socialist catastrophe

All of this used to be obvious enough, but in the age of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez it has to be explained all over again. Why does socialism never work?

Yet we have supposed Americans dreaming of a socialist/communist paradise here in America on this board.

GTFO you don't belong in this great country!

It’s a good thing she’s not a socialist.

For a longer term study of the disaster that is socialism see Argentina.

How many times do we have to hear, "It failed because it wasn't implemented by people as smart as us".
The arrogance of the left is astounding.

Hasn't America been socialist for over 80 years now? What percent of our expenditures are social security, Medicare, Medicaid, food stamps, section 8 and other housing, and the Obama phone?

America will fall just like Venezuela any day how. Just need more tim to get their guys in there.

We need to get rid of most of that. People pay into SS and Medicare without a choice so they should derive a benefit. the problem is using the money for people who didn't pay in and libs stealing it to pay for other shit.

I'd be all for it, assuming I'm the one in charge who decides who gets what.

Hint: my friends and family get everything and you peons eat rats.

Didn't that get fixed?

My old chick boss lost 30 lbs and got veneers and I had to get fired.

Can't change it up on us like that and expect us to work.

The Throbber has been an outspoken proponent of a little teeth with one's hummer. Consistently.
