NPR mentioned it in the context of MLB teams pulling out of what NPR acknowledged verbatim is a "Socialist" state, because it's economy is falling apart and its chronically under- and unemployed feel increasingly hopeless. Only the Detroit Tigers and two other teams have farm presences there now.

Bernie take note.

I recall all the little college aged leftists singing the praises of Venezuela 10 years ago.

Problem with socialism that most socialists don't get is you eventually run out of other people's money.

It's the wonderfulness of socialism, give me socialism let us all be equal!

Remember there's no income inequality if we're all poorer than dirt!

That's funny because the government of Venezuela runs on oil money. Keep going though the talking points though, it's amusing.

Venezuela has a multitude of problems and its government distribution of consumer goods is one of them. But no socialist with any sense in 2015 advocates that. Media here likes to rubber stamp "socialism" on the problem because it's easier than understanding the facts.
