As Liliana picks lice from the tangled, thick hair of her boyfriend, Patricio, while they sit together on the sidewalk of a Caracas street, she’s also multi-tasking, keeping a watchful eye on her “family.” When a 10-year-old girl named Danianyeliz kneels down to drink water from a puddle, Liliana reproaches her, urging her to have a sip from a juice bottle they’ve just found in a garbage bag.

At 16, Liliana has become the mother figure for a gang of Venezuelan children and young adults called the Chacao, named after the neighborhood they’ve claimed as their territory. The 15 members, ranging in age from 10 to 23, work together to survive vicious fights for “quality” garbage in crumbling, shortage-plagued Venezuela. Their weapons are knives and sticks and machetes. The prize? Garbage that contains food good enough to eat.

Liliana has a quick, wide smile and goes by the nickname Caramelo. She takes charge of each day for the group, deciding how much food her “family” will consume and how much they will stash away for another day. She settles conflicts that flare up and gives a hug, a kiss or a pat on the back as needed.

“Caramelo is my mummy and Paola is my aunt,” declared Danianyeliz, a newcomer who joined the gang about a month ago. She left home, she said, because there was not enough food to go around. The “aunt” she referred to, Paola, is just 14 and another member of the gang.

Mike, it's not the left, watch as things put in place as the GOP health plan and tax cut are put into effect, and people will begin to fall to the wayside.

There is an invitation only section here. Perhaps we should use it and carry on some real, thoughtful conversations without the trolls being able to interfere.

teabag,

touching photos and situation..

But I will point out that this sad situation, disater if you will, is not because the government leans left.

That government is nothing but a criminal group looting every last dime from a nation that should be enjoying modern pleasant quality of life..

A bunch of thieves, like the ones in the orange man cartel.. took over the nation as oil prices plunged, every thing was robbed for the exclusive use of those running the nation..

Just as if they passed a law giving all wealth to a select few.. Like our recently passed tax law..

We do have to watch for this sort of evil,, It abound in the soul of trump and his minions..

Do what you can to protect our own home..

===================
Teabag09, something is wrong with your message. The title of your message CONTRADICTS the substance of what you are presenting. Voting democrat, the party that has inherent similarities to Communism, Socialism, and Marxism that doom the people to poverty and hopelessness.

Communism, Socialism, and Marxism, Islam, are the root causes of the extreme poverty of the countries you've portrayed. People were initially hoarded like animals to be feed without allowing them to use their potentials, the gifts of God that are given to people. E.g. NK, Venezuela, Cuba, the Middle East, and many countries under the dictatorial control. These people are under control of their leaders.

People are made dumb, lazy, and just ignorant slaves, just follow the leaders who hoard them like animals. As soon as the ration from the government dries up, then they all riot and cause chaos, and violence happen all over. The people are hungry, deprived of the basic needs to live as human being.

In free countries where people are given freedom to explore their potentials, their talents and gifts of God, are the most productive and innovative people. Where can you find them? Here in America, because of the kind of government we have as Constitutional Republic. We have life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, that the brilliant Founders instilled for their posterity. In addition, we are a Christian nation. There are unlimited potentials in every human being if they only use it, or if their government allows them to use it.

Many are brilliant, hard workers, innovative. You can find them all here in the land of the free, America.

Time went by, influx of different cultures from socialist countries, Islam countries, arrived in America; There are still remnants of slavery that they could never change, where vengeance and hatred, are their capital to survive. These are the biggest root causes of problems that the US is trying to battle. These people never understood that abundant opportunities awaits them. That all are allowed to pursue, life, liberty, and happiness. Several atonement were provided, but did not work. They persisted in hatred and vengeance. Those many who used their talents reaped the rewards from it, became successful.

But many linger in hatred, violence and to free load. That's the kind of lives they mastered. Democrats use them to propagate because those are their tools they have to present to the world. So their positions as elected leaders continue. A clever way, but deceptive and dumb.

Socialism is government control of the economy.
Communism is government ownership of the economy.

Under Socialism, the owners of the means of production are told what and how much to produce by Central Planners. The workers struggle against the system with unions and trade organizations but are ultimately reduced to economic serfdom.

Under Communism, Central Planners decide what and how much to produce in the totally state-owned means, of production. There are no owners, only managers and serfs workers. Any overt resistance is met with immediate severe reprisals.

Yeah, you really stepped in it. Well the trolls are popping up now, perhaps they can absorb the attack. I myself have been guilty of speed reading and drawing the wrong conclusion on a post, but gee, your called teabag, you would think that may have been a clue. I've seen your posts before, guessed your intention immediately. You have a good day!

Obama was just an community organizer and not much of a politician for one thing. I believe there were enough Democrats that would not go along with Obama trying to nationalize the automotive industry because a lot of politicians had stock in these companies and would put a stop to that from being accomplished. Also his automotive Czar accomplished in getting rid of many conservative dealerships. Later he tried tp ignite people of one race against other races by his actions and inactions. Did Obama ever try to help the minorities by giving them a hand up and not an handout? The answer is, no! He was in office for eight years and offered no type of bill to help these people to become more independent. Obama had true socialism on his mind but did not have enough time to complete the process. That is why he wanted Hillary to be elected. Now, he has said he wants to get young people on his band wagon and create a million Obama's. That sure sounds like the start of socialism. Almost, to some extent, like Hitler did in Germany.

So why the hell vote for the Democratic Party, the socialists of the US? Venezuela is a lesson in socialism's failure.


Venezuela is a federal presidential republic where the President is both the head of state and the head of government. The country has a multi-party system, which allows for many parties to form and vie for any seat they wish. Nicolás Maduro is the current president of Venezuela after succeeding Hugo Chavez in 2013.

The current National Assembly was formed after the elections December 6, 2015, and it is a unicameral( a legislative body having a single legislative chamber) federal legislature.

The democratic party is not a socialist party. Venezuela failed due to its newly elected president turned dictator and nothing to do with socialism. Socialism has never been the cause of discourse or failure, it's the dictators repressing its people that has always been the problem. To use a social program does not equate to a form of government.
