Doctors, teachers, electricians all fleeing Venezuela as failed socialist nation enters last chapter of epic collapse

The problem with liberals and progressives in the United States is that they are incapable of looking to other parts of the world to determine what works and what does not. Venezuela, for example, is a perfect example of what happens when the government believes that it should become more and more involved in the […]

What happens when socialists run out of money: Venezuelans reach point of desperation as starvation and inflation both go ballistic

Prime Minister Thatcher once famously observed that socialists “always run out of other people’s money.” But what actually happens when socialism runs out of money? (Article by Daniel Greenfield republished from FrontpageMag.com) Venezuela, a once wealthy nation with black gold coming out of the ground, is a test case. The socialist regime ran out of […]

Silly Americans mock Venezuela’s 99.5% currency collapse, thinking it can’t happen here

Yet another real-life attempt at creating a successful Marxist government is going down in flames — this time in Venezuela — harming millions of people in the process even as the far-Left government of President Nicolas Maduro doubles, triples and quadruples down on the same failed fiscal policies. To say that the country is an […]

Just like the Soviet Union, Venezuela is now on course to disintegrate into a morass of suffering – and violence

Though various leaders have tried implementing socialist and communist economic policies since they were first established by Karl Marx in the 1800s and refined by Vladimir Lenin in the early 20th century, they have never worked. The Soviet Union was perhaps the biggest experiment in communism that failed: Though it took more than 80 years, […]

Death by Big Government: Ecuador is on the brink of collapse, says ex-pat who lived there for years

There is always something awful and tragic about watching a perfectly good ship sink. It is of course, significantly more distressing if one is on board at the time!

Venezuelan regime confiscated guns from citizens, just like Hillary Clinton would have done in America

Whether Donald J. Trump’s victory over Hillary Clinton on Nov. 8 was a case of superior campaigning, a poorly run Democratic effort, divine intervention – or a combination of all three – Americans are far better off with the former billionaire and reality TV host sitting in the Oval Office than the careerist politician with […]

Venezuelan leader now demonstrating why the Second Amendment is so important for halting tyranny

Every tyrant uses the same playbook to hold onto power, even in the face of widespread opposition. Control the media with the use of censorship and propaganda. Punish political opponents. Begin making unilateral declarations to expand power. Rely on the military. Disarm the population. It now appears that Venezuelan “President” Nicolas Maduro has finally adopted […]

Socialism sucks: Venezuela runs out of gas, despite having the world’s largest oil reserves

Truth be told, the socialist utopia of Venezuela really couldn’t be any further from paradise. The authoritative regime in charge has been openly hostile towards the private sector for decades, leading to economic dislocation, empty shelves at the grocery stores and nationwide poverty. It has gotten so bad that many Venezuelans are resorting to digging […]

Banned video reveals the horrors of Venezuela’s starving population

Once thought to be a promising and upcoming socialist utopia, Venezuela is now caught in a death spiral towards famine, starvation and poverty, all of which are directly linked to the corruption of a centralized authoritative regime. The conditions in Venezuela are so bad, in fact, that the government must set up barriers and restrictions […]

Socialist Venezuela now targeting bakeries with absurd regulations

Venezuela’s Vice President Tareck El Aissami announced new regulations for bakeries in Caracas that could force many to close their doors and cause 7,000 jobs to be at risk. And for added pressure, Aissami is adamant that any stores that do not comply will be occupied by the government. Under the new regulations, which apply […]
