Venezuela’s opposition published photos this weekend of men butchering a dead dog on the streets of Caracas, preparing the meat for cooking in a nation that has been forced to take increasingly extreme measures to avoid a famine.

Do you think Venezuela is the only socialist country in the world? It wasn't socialism that ruined that country, it was unrestrained greed and corruption...............................like what is happening here.

That isn’t a socialist state it is an authoritarian dictatorship. Look at Norway, Sweden, New Zealand and Finland as examples of Democratic Socialist nations.

I would like to hear you try to convince my family members I have brought out of Venezuela in the last 4 years that Socialism was not the fall of Venezuela. Better yet have a talk with my Cuban family members I brought out in the 70’s.

But does it happen?

Isn’t socialism where the government controls production distribution and all aspects of it?

Let me rephrase.

Socialism is ‘communism lite’.

Both are antithetical to capitalism.

Capitalism has brought more prosperity to the entire world than any previous government/economic system/theory.

Socialism is a form of government where certain services are run by the government and the citizens have direct control over who is placed in power....

It embraces capitalism in the private sector...
