OP, I agree. Prayers for a successful victory over socialism, but at minimum harm to human life.

Well take a look at Europe, don't see this happening over there. Maybe the situation is more complicated than just blaming something you don't understand?

The only thing I wouldn’t mind out of this is Maduros bodybdragged through the streets. A fitting end to the socialist model.

Venezuela has gone from bad to worse. And this is after China and Russia showed up to "help". Basically, they are there to train Venezuela's soldiers on how to slaughter their own people in an effort to maintain the socialist's control over the failed state. And AOC thinks we are are to blame the hell on earth that Venezuela has become. Morons all around, working tirelessly to destroy civilization for their own limited gains.

Isn't socialism great? Failed infrastructure, civilians being killed by their own government, regular blackouts and drinking water polluted by oil because the government squandered all the wealth instead of maintaining civilization. This is what happens when you put imbeciles like the bus driver Maduro in charge of everything. A failed state controlled by a guaranteed to fail government and system. Sad when you consider that Venezuela was once the wealthiest nation in South America. Their people deserve better.

This should be a wake up call. That could be the USA someday, if we don't vote wisely.

The fight is between the socialist.
Whoever wins they will be socialist.
In the US we just have a democrat primary but in Venezuela they do it different.

What you are posting about is corruption, not socialism.
