Could it be? Something that started out as warm squishy socialism, and used the pretense of “public good” (in America that would be phrased as “national security”) has turned Venezuela into a dictatorship, run by a man who just changed the constitution to remove term limits and that is now been proven to be bankrolling war and murder in a nearby country? Surely only greedy capitalist countries are pre-disposed to such weaknesses in moral character.

34 radio stations have been closed down, 200 more stand threatened with broadcast license revocation.
In addition to bankrupting his country, turning himself into God with no term limits, this ex-coca farmer also give weapons to Colombian drug runners to kill and kidnap civilians in Colombia. I wonder if it’s related to the fact that he is an ex coca farmer and the FARC make all their money selling coke?

He was quick to demonize Bush, deserved as it may have been, but turned out to be just as big an asshole. Just goes to show you, every socialist haven, is one power-mad shithead away from a fascist dictatorial state. I myself, am eagerly awaiting the UN Security Concil resolution that will be passed most expeditiously to deal with this threat to security and stability of another country. On second thought, all they have time for is anti-Israel resolutions, so probably not.
