Oh, I'm sorry. I thought you said "every other socialist mistake". :lol:

Also Iceland.
If youre just reading what I write and deciding to see what you want to see in it, then fine. But none of those countries you mentioned have ANYTHING to do with Venezuela. Maduro is murdering people who disagree with him in order to keep the Bolivarian regime in power. Not even Bolivia has been as dysfunctional, and it has very little to nothing to do with nationalization of the oil industry in Venezuela.

You're the one pulling up communism. I never mentioned it. I also never mentioned the oil industry. That was Cleets. And Cleets was responding to JSO who originally brought up economic populism.

You aren't REALLY comparing Iceland and Norway with Venezuela, are you? That's a stretch they wouldn't even try on Morning Joe.

BTW- yes I did say "every other Socialist mistake". Can you name a Socialist government that has collapsed and eaten itself that was not a mistake?

I don't think he was, maybe he misinterpreted your "every other socialist mistake comment" as also applying to socialist success stories?

That's what I was talking about before. Either that, or he popped a fuse, which I expect him to do any day now.

BTW I looked up Iceland and Norway in SKFelchyfetty's "Look Up Shit For Knowitalls Website" otherwise known as Wikipedia... and it sez Iceland is a parliamentary republic and Norway is a constitutional monarchy. You guys better login there and make annotations stat.

More accurately, less poverty may be around the corner. A severe recession and a bad oil market are too much for even Socialist thugs in a banana republic to overcome. I'm surprised they had an election at all. :coffee:

South America's bloc of left-wing governments, dominant for over a decade, has lost some of its clout this year.
Center-right opposition candidate Mauricio Macri won Argentina's presidential election last month, ending 12 years of left-wing rule, and Brazil's leftist President Dilma Rousseff is battling impeachment for alleged corruption.

From 2010.

The only thing that concerns me is all the money we will send Venezuela 20 years from now after he is strung up from a tree in a coup and the once sh!thole country - now uber sh!thole country falls into anarchy.

Personally I say don't send them a dime. Even when the UN starts demanding US action over the humanitarian crisis that ensues after the failure of yet another anti-American worker's utopia.

Sort of a Monroe Doctrine in reverse.
Didn't need 20 years I guess. :geek:
