This is the story of 23,000 Venezuelans every year.

Less pesky voters for Maduro I suppose.

Yes, let's ban the guns!

It's the guns that kill people not the lazy bastards who cannot be bothered to go to school and learn to read and write, then get a proper job (are there any jobs?) then start a business.

Hang on a cotton picking minute! We are discussing one of the world’s most violent countries with thousands of guns provided to the people’s army by Chubby himself. AND the systematic rape of the small (and not so small) businesses by him and the busdriver!

So that’s alright then, carry on.

When will the LatAms learn that EDUCATION must be the priority and then the nurturing of capitalists so that everybody has a chance to earn some honest money? Ha, ha, ha.

I am going to have a lie down in a darkened room for even thinking it’s that simple.

Cue Stevie about how poisonous capitalism is.

It's ok, despite the posts being mostly in Spanish, Stevie was graciously saying he “agreed” with Mujica that Communist/Socialist ideology was not working in Uruguay and it had to be combined with Capitalism to generate income.
He further went on to say I paraphrase, “economic growth before ideology”!!

That's right, isn't it Stevie?

No, that's your understanding failing you. Again.

I had a friend who went back to Caracas in August of 2013 to defend against an illegal property seizure of a mall his family has owned for decades.
No one has heard from him since Sept.

Socialism creates monsters, it is evil!
