Cite from polling data?

Actually this isn't for me to prove, I don't believe a majority of nor all liberals supported Chavez.

You would have to prove to me you were an alien, but if you said you weren't an alien, it would be me who had to prove you are.

I can EASILY prove that American conservatives supported brutal right wing regimes all over the world. So what?

I supported Chavez's right to run Venezuela without American interference because that's not our business to tell foreign leaders what to do in their own nations. Venezuelans can determine their own fate without our help.

That's not the same as supporting Chavez.

Lol so they're using rhetoric like "bourgeois parasite" must be time for the purges.

CARACAS, Venezuela — Venezuela's President Nicolás Maduro intensified his perceived fight Monday against "bourgeois parasites" he accuses of an economic war against the socialist country by threatening to force more stores to sell their merchandise at cut-rate prices.


National guardsmen, some of whom had assault rifles, were positioned around outlets of an electronics chain that Maduro has ordered to lower prices or face prosecution. Thousands of people lined up at the Daka stores hoping for a bargain after the government forced the companies to charge "fair" prices.
Venezuela vows to take other stores in attack on retailers

That's nice, but it has absolutely nothing to do with socialist policies destroying Venezuela.

LOL..he blamed those 3 people for sabotaging the entire Venezuelan economy
And I'll bet he made it loud and clear to his people who cheered his actions.

Now the country will prosper..right ?

Oh wait..it's getting worse so now who will he blame ?

Why not?

Would it not be prudent to examine how policies implemented in other countries affect its society?

Though, It should not stop us from observing and learning about the horrific results from the implementation of inept policies.
