Venezuela is in a total meltdown.

Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro extended a state of emergency another 60 days as several riots broke out in grocery stores this past week. The country is running out of food, the workweek has been reduced to two days, there is a water shortage and — soon — a gasoline shortage in a country with more oil than Saudi Arabia, there are long blackouts as electricity is scarce, and 70% of the voters want Maduro out this year.

Welcome to the socialist paradise.

Hey all of you Bernie supporters, this is what Bernie wants to give the United States, socialism and its total failure. This is just another example. We have seen side by side comparisons of socialism versus capitalism. There was East Germany versus West Germany. Another example today is North Korea versus South Korea. We have Zimbabwe and now we have Venezuela. I have been predicting its collapse ever since Hugo Chavez came upon the scene. Socialism always fails!

College students overwhelming support Sanders, which pretty much shows us the state of our universities today. Obviously, they don’t teach history. Also our gummint schools and our colleges have become socialist indoctrination centers. The dumbest people who go to college enter the education profession. The second dumbest enter journalism. That pretty much explains why educators and journalists are almost all Dimocrats and support socialism. They’re too freakin’ dumb to see that socialism has failed everywhere it has been tried. Look at Venezuela which has more oil than Saudi Arabia but Hugo Chavez and his merry band of rat bastard commies destroyed the economy because socialism never works!

Of course, all of the proponents of socialism claim that the reason it fails are that the right people haven’t been in charge and Bernie Sanders is the right person to make it work. Look at Obigmouth who has tried to implement all sorts of socialist programs like Obummercare and all that has done has made the problem worse, as all socialist programs do. The unemployment numbers they give us are bogus. I mean how do you not count someone who has given up looking for work as not unemployed? I thought someone who didn’t have a job was unemployed, but not the gummint. And then there are all of the people who used to have full time jobs being moved to part time because of Obummercare. The real unemployment figures are in the double digits. We are currently in a jobs recession, but no one wants to admit it, not even the Republican Party.

I would expect that the GDP numbers the gummint gives us are bogus as well. Even with the bogus numbers, there has not been a year during the Obumbler administration that has had a GDP growth rate of over 3%. I have begun trolling liberal columnist Jay Bookman of the Atlanta Urinal and Constipation on Twitter. (my Twitter is @cripdude) In one of his recent columns praising Oblunder, he claimed that the GDP has grown 29% during his administration. 7×3 = 21, not 29, and it’s hard to reach even 21 when all of the years are less than 3. I guess they told Jay that there would be no Math.

Anyhoo, we have Venezuela in a total meltdown with food riots and we have a major political candidate and a major political party that wants to implement the same policies that destroyed Venezuela. Amazing!

Update: I forgot that this would be a great time to revisit the following Heinlein quote.

“Throughout history, poverty is the normal condition of man. Advances which permit this norm to be exceeded — here and there, now and then — are the work of an extremely small minority, frequently despised, often condemned, and almost always opposed by all right-thinking people. Whenever this tiny minority is kept from creating, or (as sometimes happens) is driven out of a society, the people then slip back into abject poverty.

This is known as “bad luck.”

Think white people and “white privilege”. Look at all of the failing cities built by whites and now run by blacks. Detoilet, Birmingham, and Baltimore are three fine examples. And who is to blame for turning these cities into Third World shitholes? White people, of course.
