    Default Socialism fails again. Goalposts being moved as we speak.

    http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articl...nomy-collapses

    If only the world bank wasn't run by dirty capitalists. Sad, the people of Venezuela are suffering Becuase of the legacy of a tyrant. A tyrant propped up by idealists in the west who don't have to live in his hellhole.

    funny the strongest economy in Latin America is Chile.
    There, but for the grace of God, goes John Bradford

    My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

    I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.

    What parties have made up the government since that tyrant propped up by idealists in the west who didn't have to live in his fascist police state left power?
    Their current president is once again a socialist isn't she?

    In case he doesn't want to google, Christian Democrats and Social Democrats. And once the ban was lifted, Socialists. In fact the parliamentary coalition that's in power now has 4 different brands of leftist parties, and Communists.


    Thing is the regime in Venezuela is very much in the mold of Castro. IE the populist rebel strong man of socialism. Who runs a highly centralized government. And yes it was kind of a relic of a bygone age when Chavez set it up 10 years ago.
    If you havin' skyrim problems I feel bad for you son.. I dodged 99 arrows but my knee took one.

    VENI, VIDI, NATES CALCE CONCIDI

    Ah, Chavez and Castro, the heroes of Britain's own Jeremy Corbyn, who appeals to the UK's own brand of leftists who want a populist rebel strong man. Who also runs a highly centralised shadow government. I bet Chavez wishes he were as rich as Chavez's daughter though. The sworn enemy of big business idolises a man whose embezzlement has left his daughter the richest person in the country. 4.2bn USD.

    SFTS how many nations that are US allies are social democracies vs corporate republics?
    Our genes maybe in the basement but it does not stop us chosing our point of view from the top.

    Yes, as it never happened before:

    Failure of Capitalism. Reason why Socialist won elections. From 1999, year when Chavez was elected, 19 elections, each time validated by International bodies. That is dictatorship for you...
    And Bangladesh, capitalist country without any workers's right, is a so successful developed country...

    "You did, sarge", said Polly." You said you were in few last stands."
