(4,341 posts)Socialism is the entry, the rhetoric that all communist dictators use to enamor the people, it is full of beautiful populist arguments to bring the struggling masses to support them, once in power the tentacles of communism which is nothing other than a cruel and repressive dictatorship.
Socialism is a myth, there is no country in the World that is "Socialist", you do find "Social-Democratic" regimes which do work very well.
Venezuela is one the most corrupt countries and what people need to learn from it is the methodology that was used to destroy it, because that is exactly what trump and his minions are trying to do. I hope that the orange buffoon is not able to give his SOTU in Congress, because if he defies the rule and is allowed to do it with TV cameras showing it, that action will prompt more disregard from them and it is all downhill, very rapidly, from that point on.
Dictators begin their quest through populism, they defy the rule of law, they make demonstrations like the one the buffoon is threatening to do by having the SOTU, against the command of the powers who control it, do it anyway and walking away from it untouched...be very aware of those demonstrations of power, it is like taking a tiny sip of your tea to make sure it is not hot, and once you know its not, you drink it in a big gulp.
