This was pretty funny. I mean even some of the dumbest reactionaries wouldn't believe this crap, lol. People standing in a queue at night gets picked up by food police in their so called "dracula's bus" , ahahahaha.
HEY you're standing in line for FOOD? We'll going to punish you by making you sweep the streets! hahahaha.

This is a very lazy attempt at propaganda, he's like "**** it so many credulous idiots easily lap up any stupid trash I decide to make up, why bother giving an effort making my propaganda believable?"

It boggles the mind not that I know anything about it except Venezuela was once the richest country in South America. What is their problem? Too much greed?

Alaska had to drop "The Dividend". Whether it comes back or not remains to be seen.

You talking about the "reverse tax" citizens were receiving every year?

Actually Venezuela's problems go much deeper than just greed and they go back a lot farther than the Chavez government. Latin America has an an almost 200 year history of corrupt, brutal dictatorships mixed with corrupt inept democracies. Chavez was just one more leader in a long line of politicians who promised a great deal, but had no idea how to deliver.

Yet the economy and country were still operating with some kind of stability prior to Chavez . At present it appears Maduro is losing his grip , those middle class people with money and or education are escaping ASAP . Let’s try it here.

Venezuela is a very good example of missed opportunity. Given its natural resources it should have been the wealthiest nation in South America, but it squandered its wealth on vote-buying schemes that added nothing to the economy.

And continues to do so. Stoopid socialists.
