Where revolutions end out when only the government owns the guns: https://www.miamiherald.com/news/nation-world/world/americas/venezuela/article232593472.html
plenty of 1st world countries with strict pollution standards, nationalized healthcare, education, and utilities
Funny how all those public services in Venezuela are only available regularly to the wealthy few in that country. All of you guys fall for teh charm of Castro and Chavez while they abuse their own people while everyone has their backs turned. I have visted Cuba and do business in Venezuela, there are no rights to health care water or electricity for the poor and middle class in either of those countries.
Venezuela got a bus driver to run its country and economy, how did that turn out? No offense intended to bus drivers in the US but, made to stress an important point. New York voted for a bartender to represent them and it cost them 25,000 jobs not counting billions more in taxes. Do not send a child to do a man's job! AOC mini can do the job way better than her!
I would not call dictatorial rule progressive leadership. I would also not post revisionist history. Do some research on Chavez and his history.
Look at the crap Chavez promised and then look at the crap the progressives in the US are promising. They are one in the same.
That may be true but the powers exercised by Chavez could never be exercised here, promsies are just promises but getting into power and then enforcing a dictatorial rule is quite different, Castro made promises too and then took over for 50 years. Does not matter what Bernie and others "promise" they would never have the Constitutional power to get it done or reach the extremes found elsewhere. It is a pipe dream of far left just like far right wants white america. It appeals to a the fringe only and those who use it to scare the other side both ways.
One of the principle objectives of the Democrat party is to destroy the Constitution so that their sick policies can be put into action. Are we just supposed to turn a blind eye and say the democrats can do anything they want because it can't happen here? Obama put into practice a bunch policies that people thought could never happen here. Well they did.
