Can American Socialists learn from Venezuela?

Venezuela is cool.

He’s not the reason for the deficits. We have record tax receipts. We all know the reason, but dems won’t admit what it is…

Thats funny. Obama also had record tax receipts after he got us out of the recession.

@Cratic3947

Is that what they did in Venezuela?

Yes. taxes are not the reason for the current massive deficits… We all know that.

I’m sorry the question went over your head… I can’t make, it simpler.

Correct, Trump is.

Correct, Trump is.

Yes, I bet you actually believe 170 billion in tax cuts over 10 years causes near 1 trillion in yearly deficits. Because dems can’t do math…

@Grassroots

Are you confused again? I specifically agreed with you that taxes are not the sole reason; as for the current records deficits after Obama had reduced them drastically, the orange goblin’s policy certainly is responsible.

Since it seems the dems are taking a big turn to the left with some openly endorsing socialism, Bloomberg wonders can American socialist learn?

" A recent series of Bloomberg articles vividly depicts the hellish, never-ending struggle for survival in Caracas, the country’s capital. Hungry children roam the streets, people are fleeing the country, health care is almost nonexistent, violence is endemic, even water is scarce. Chavez’s so-called Bolivarian revolution took a peaceful, middle-income country and transformed it into a nightmare that puts the ruinous Soviet Union of the 1980s to shame."

Venezuela’s Lessons for American Socialists

Bloomberg is a wing of the dems like most of the media…

If anything else had killed 100 million people in 50 years it would be outlawed for good reason…

Then why isn’t religion outlawed?

Not just that. Trump didnt grow the economy enough. Trump added $1.3trillion in debt in 1 year during FULL EMPLOYMENT. That’s pretty much what Obama did in 2009 during a FINANCIAL CRISIS. Hahahaha

I like how Venezuela is trotted out almost on schedule every 3 months

Don’t you think there is a lesson to learn from them?

Norway…!

@Bigjohn

By the same person

Don’t you want to learn about outcomes in different economic systems?

Or try to figure out why the socialist leader does not care his people are starving?

@Cratic3947

There is little inflation… We still have near record emplacement.

Why are people starving in Venezuela, and why don’t socialists care ?

@Cratic3947

Is that what they did in Venezuela?

Norway…!

I wish we’d learned from them to not elect philandering, populist, demagogue, nationalist, conspiracy peddling scumbags to the presidency.

But here we are…

@Cratic3947

If Venezuela was a right wing disaster, it would be on the news nightly…

Good point. Trump is a right wing disaster, and he is on Fox News nightly.

[Sewell]

Children are starving in America.

Trump is cool.

[DougBH]

And, from this thread, the very resounding answer on whether the left has anything in the least to learn from the total disaster of applied socialism is…absolutely nothing.

Full speed ahead.
