yep

actually ... educate yourself https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economy_of_Venezuela

"Since the Bolivarian Revolution half-dismantled its PDVSA oil giant corporation in 2002 by firing most of its 20,000-strong dissident professional human capital and imposed stringent currency controls in 2003 in an attempt to prevent capital flight,[24] there has been a decline in oil production and exports and a series of stern currency devaluations.[25] Further yet, price controls, among other disputable government policies including a near-total freeze on any access to foreign currency at reasonable "official" exchange rates, have resulted in severe shortages in Venezuela and steep price rises of all common goods, including food, water, household products, spare parts, tools and medical supplies; forcing many manufacturers to either cut production or close down, with many ultimately abandoning the country as has been the case with several technological firms and most automobile makers.[26][27] In 2015, Venezuela had over 100% inflation—the highest in the world and the highest in the country's history at that time.[28] According to independent sources, the rate increased to 80,000% at the end of 2018[29] with Venezuela spiraling into hyperinflation[30] while the poverty rate was nearly 90 percent of the population.[31] On 14 November 2017, credit rating agencies declared that Venezuela was in default with its debt payments, with Standard & Poor's categorizing Venezuela as being in "selective default"."

That is Chavez baby, Chavez mother f**kah! Go to Florida and ask the Venezuelan people over populating that state what they have to say for once. Get your source from actual people who live there.

Educate myself by reading the tiny bit of the history that fits your bullshit narrative?

You're funny.

uhm... sure whatever you like. You know what is funny, I escaped to USA from a socialist country, to hear spoiled little brats, that had it too good, try to lecture me that socialism works. Eat a deeck.

🤣🤣🤣🤣 Socialism is the friggin arsonist!

Ahhh. That's Capitalism you are thinking of.

LOL, you think that's socialism? Look at the actual socialist countries - USSR, etc.

Stop comparing today's Democratic Socialism to examples of historical corruption. It does not prove your point. But it does prove MY point that 9 out of 10 tRUMPtards has no idea what Socialism is. If you live in the US you are already a Socialist.
Now SIT.

You're just proving the stupidity of socialists.

You're just proving the stupidity of Capitalists...and the Billionaires love you for it.

That’s like saying big government makes BILLIONS but taxpayers can’t get whatever welfare they need.
You have no clue what it costs to research, test, get approved, manufacture and distribute medication. They have to make billions because it costs billions.

Quit pulling stats out of your ass and pull your head out instead. Most pharmaceutical companies spend about 20% on R&D. Eli Lilly spent 22.38% of its revenues on R&D as of March 31, 2019.

Fake news

Yes you site fake news, stats and charts all the time. Glad to see you finally admit it.

But just to show I’m not pulling stats out of thin air like you do, here is the source.

And a bad one at that.

You are a fake news peddler. That is what you are. Nothing you say or do will change that fact. You can call me every name in the book, but at the end of the day.....you are a fake-news peddler.
Enjoy.

Well yes and no. Capitalism and socialism are both economic theories. Usually when someone refers to "capitalism" they are referring to a market economy with limited command economics (such as the military, roads, etc.) while with "socialism" most refer to a redistribution of wealth and command economics that takes over most of the market and the confiscation of private land.

If the "take overs" "redistribution" and "confiscations" are what worries you, then no wonder there is this anti-Socialism sentiment. Thank God today's Democratic Socialism is NOTHING like those things. As a matter of fact, it promotes people becoming millionaires and striving for the best through hard work and equal opportunities. Imagine a nation where 90% of its citizens received college level training and education.

When i hear a Capitalism story like Alice Walton receiving her 2017 "Trickle Down" tax refund check for $8 Billion, and she and her brothers pocketed $4 Billion, spent $2 billion on stock buybacks, and then sent $2 Billion to Indonesia for foreign manufacturing investment, and then 10 days later they laid off 20,000 Sam's Club employees, I have a substantial problem with the virtues of American Capitalism. I don't think its so bad that I want people to have access to healthcare and education. And if all it means is that Jeff Bezos will only be able to net $150 Million per day instead of his normal $212 Million per day, I'm OK with that.

Public school it cost about $12,201 per student every year, while private school is $7,005 a year and does a better job! Yes, let's apply this to everything. Also, college is expensive because the government took over student loans and healthcare is expensive because of crony capitalism and medicare and Medicaid.

My problem with socialism is that unless they have a bottomless never ending supply of capital they always go broke. Norway and Sweden have enormous exportable natural resources and miniature populations and closed citizenship rolls. They do not collect poor people from the third world like a school teacher collects stray cats. they spend nothing on defense and scream bloody murder if the US starts to withdraw its troops or demand they protect themselves. their socialist parties know that the party is over once they open the floodgates and allow the third world to collapse their systems. I don't give a shit if we tax the rich to death they are clever and mobile and won't hang around long its a big world.when they are gone you have a massive socialist system that cannot be financially fed. socialists love talking about defunding the military.... great but you do realize the states most impacted by those cuts are overwhelmingly blue and union members make those cool toys they have. we can could kill every rich person in the US their children and their dogs...steal everything they have and it would not be enough to support the system socialist want to create. In norway and sweden they would rather temporarily lose power than destroy the goose that lays the golden egg. The Democrat party in the US only sees socialism as a way to gain power and buy votes. Illegal immigration is yet another tool for total political domination of our country. fiscally irresponsible socialist vote buying and attempts to pack scotus and the senate will be the end of our country. Maybe a quick death is preferable to the crap have now, the sooner we split the sheets the sooner we can all get on with our lives. Problem is its not a conflict with a Mason Dixon border it's a border that runs down every street, neither side can win this bullshit all we can do is reap the world wind.
