Bullets Against Pots and Pans in the Crackdown on Venezuela's Protests | Inter Press Service

The protests in Venezuela demanding an end to the presidency of Nicolás Maduro in the last 10 days of January, whose soundtrack was the sound of banging on pots and pans in working-class neighbourhoods, had a high human cost: more than 40 deaths, dozens wounded and about a thousand detainees, including 100 women and 90 children under 18.
In Catia, a working-class neighbourhood west of Caracas, a number of young people were shot dead between Jan. 21-25, while National Police and military National Guard commandos demolished improvised roadblocks and barricades made with trash, managing to quash the protests.

You idiots on the left who think Socialism is the end all , may get your wish. Your young, dumb and ugly, and have been fooled into thinking our Socialists can do it better, yet every time it has been tried, it ends up this way. First the money must be stolen from those that work. Then it demoralizes people who then dont want to work. Then people start to starve. Then people riot against the very government they elected in, and in the end, the armed government thugs shoot and kill you.

You are the freakin idiot here. No one is wanting to be like Venezuela. The democratic socialists are looking at specific policy similar to what very successful western countries have used. It's in no way shape or form a Venezuela vs. Reaganist utopia extreme dichotomy.

Many things are straight up broken in America and the progressives and democratic socialists are looking at successful policy as possible solutions to those broken constructs. They di this because capitalism and fake free markets cant or wont address the problems.

Get a grip, loser.

Socialists today look first at the institution where most adults spend a majority of their waking hours: their workplace:

Start With Worker Self-Directed Enterprises

"This paper by Richard Wolff, published alongside three others, is one of many proposals for a systemic alternative we have published or will be publishing here at the Next System Project.

"You can read it below, or download the PDF.

"We have commissioned these papers in order to facilitate an informed and comprehensive discussion of 'new systems,' and as part of this effort we have also created a comparative frameworkwhich provides a basis for evaluating system proposals according to a common set of criteria."

No one WANTS to end up like Venezuela, but it seems to be the end result when trying to implement socialistic policies.

And the Nordic model is the welfare state model, not a socialist model.

You are missing a few thousand pages of evidence that any of the popular policy on the table here causally leads to Venezuela. Because of this you are reeking of a radical heretic doomsayer.

I'm looking out my window here in socialist Canada, and I don't see any blood running in the streets. Same in the rest of the world, including socialist USA, where they have Medicare, Medicaid, public schools, Social Security pensions, welfare, food stamps.

Intelligent people know that in order for capitalism to be a success, there has to be equal opportunity, and a strong social safety net, and protections for workers during period of contraction. That what EVERY First World country has. Republicans have shredded and starved the US social safety net while promoting militarism and war. You're the nation which is totally off track and headed towards major social problems. There is no opportunity for the poor to move up because there is no quality education for the children of the poor, and no liveable minimum wage.

When you don't have a strong social safety net, where the governmennt is corrupt, you have Venezuela.

You have to admit that capitalism has failings that the free market cant well resolve without guidance. We as a people can choose to fix these problems with focused policy. Government oversight...any oversight....is necessary to protect the people from corporate negligence and greed. There are so many things we as consumer cant see to be able to make purchasing decisions that would prevent these problems.


Do you understand? You think monsanto will willingly keep its poisons in check without strong push from the government? You think VW would self correct its toxic diesel emissions cheating without that regulatory structure? You think energy companies would apply any care to their extraction techniques where no one is watching without big bro looking over their shoulder? No. Get a grip. We arent falling for your extreme slippery slope exaggerations. This isnt a third world country. It's the richest nation in the world and it should be protecting it's people and a nice standard of living.

Fixing capitalism with socialism is like fixing a leaky roof by burning down the house.

You are equating regulation with socialism in an attempt to make socialism seem cutsey and harmless. Nothing could be further than the truth.

And DS would result in what socialism does everywhere it spawns, spreading misery and enriching the ruling class, all while saying they work "for the people"

Are you gullible enough to believe the corporate propaganda about Venezuela?

Do you know what percentage of the Venezuelan economy is in private hands?

Does the state or private, for-profit corporations control the supply of toilet paper?

Venezuela – Capitalist Success, Not Socialist Failure

"Though the current coup in Venezuela has roots going back to 2002 (when President Chavez was kidnapped and nearly killed by the U.S. backed 'opposition'), long before any economic crisis was even on the horizon, giddy triumphalists of American Empire stridently declare that the Venezuelan crisis proves nothing more than the 'failure of socialism.'

"Ignoring the deliberate U.S. policy of sowing economic chaos, they denounce the Bolivarian Revolution as a sham on the grounds that its supposed beneficiaries are now allegedly suffering mass starvation due to lunatic Marxist policies run amok.

"Except that there is no mass starvation, the mass Chavista base remains intact, and the Venezuelan economy is overwhelmingly in private hands."

Socialism/communism/Marxism etc are huge scams played out on the people by those who are huge crooks playing the gullible in their societies to the max. Once game over, it's over, and chaos insues afterwards. Proven time and time again in the world. All above is easily hidden from the naked eye but for so long, and then comes the colapse and/or the failure.

Socialism advocates for the social, as opposed to private, ownership of the means of production, starting from the workplace. That game has yet to get started because capitalists fear authentic competition more than almost anything else except anti-corruption laws.

Democratic socialism - Wikipedia

"Democratic socialism is a political philosophy that advocates political democracy alongside social ownership of the means of production[1]with an emphasis on self-management and democratic management of economic institutions within a market or some form of decentralized planned socialist economy.[2]"

Capitalists only fear the end results of Socialism and that is Communism, for that always ends up in the end. Then the killings start and usually it is lazy dumbasses that go, because Socialist Elites dont want people around that do nothing, but bitch and moan...I know you cant help being stupid, that was your public education(indoctrination) at work...

Historical materialism - Wikipedia

"According to historical materialism, nations arose at the time of the appearance of capitalism on the basis of community of economic life, territory, language, certain features of psychology, traditions of everyday life and culture.

"In the Manifesto of the Communist Party Marx and Engels explained that the coming into existence of nations was the result of class struggle, specifically of the capitalist class's attempts to overthrow the institutions of the former ruling class. Prior to capitalism, nations did not exist.[37]

"The Marxist theory of the national question was developed further and concretized by Lenin.[38]

"According to him, there are two opposite tendencies in the development of nations under capitalism.

"One of them is expressed in the activization of national life and national movements against the oppressors.

"The other is expressed in the expansion of links among nations, the breaking down of barriers between them, the establishment of a unified economy and of a world market.[3"

And the parts of the Venezuelan economy that have been taken over by the government have been so bad - and that’s a big swath of it - that it is dragging down the rest of the economy.

You idiots on the left who think Socialism is the end all , may get your wish. Your young, dumb and ugly, and have been fooled into thinking our Socialists can do it better, yet every time it has been tried, it ends up this way. First the money must be stolen from those that work. Then it demoralizes people who then dont want to work. Then people start to starve. Then people riot against the very government they elected in, and in the end, the armed government thugs shoot and kill you.

Are you gullible enough to believe the corporate propaganda about Venezuela?

Do you know what percentage of the Venezuelan economy is in private hands?

Does the state or private, for-profit corporations control the supply of toilet paper?

Venezuela – Capitalist Success, Not Socialist Failure

"Though the current coup in Venezuela has roots going back to 2002 (when President Chavez was kidnapped and nearly killed by the U.S. backed 'opposition'), long before any economic crisis was even on the horizon, giddy triumphalists of American Empire stridently declare that the Venezuelan crisis proves nothing more than the 'failure of socialism.'

"Ignoring the deliberate U.S. policy of sowing economic chaos, they denounce the Bolivarian Revolution as a sham on the grounds that its supposed beneficiaries are now allegedly suffering mass starvation due to lunatic Marxist policies run amok.

"Except that there is no mass starvation, the mass Chavista base remains intact, and the Venezuelan economy is overwhelmingly in private hands."

Socialism/communism/Marxism etc are huge scams played out on the people by those who are huge crooks playing the gullible in their societies to the max. Once game over, it's over, and chaos insues afterwards. Proven time and time again in the world. All above is easily hidden from the naked eye but for so long, and then comes the colapse and/or the failure.

Socialism advocates for the social, as opposed to private, ownership of the means of production, starting from the workplace. That game has yet to get started because capitalists fear authentic competition more than almost anything else except anti-corruption laws.

Trump’s transition looks an awful lot like crony capitalism

Democratic socialism - Wikipedia

"Democratic socialism is a political philosophy that advocates political democracy alongside social ownership of the means of production[1]with an emphasis on self-management and democratic management of economic institutions within a market or some form of decentralized planned socialist economy.[2]"

You forget who our new socialist are these days. They are nothing like you try and justify, so it's time you wake up so you can stop trying to put us to sleep on the issues.

Socialism, starts out stealing other people's money, ends with people dying on the street.

It hasn't happened in America! We live better because of it.

75 Ways Socialism Has Improved America

Yeah, another product of the Public education system. Socialism is all about failure, why else do lazy ass liberals sit on their ass and are parasites to the country? Before all the bullshit programs, people actually had to work to earn a living and they were proud of it too. Today, I cant find a liberal anywhere that is proud of this country...That is because they have nothing to be proud about themselves, because they are Losers.
