    Discussions have been stepped up because Maduro’s wife Cilia Flores -- who has two nephews serving 18 years in a U.S. prison for conspiring to traffic cocaine -- is raising pressure on her husband to have a plan B ready, another person said. Venezuela’s information ministry did not respond to requests for comment.

    Who knew...

    This whole thing is nothing but scare tactics, using the "S" word, hoping to frighten people into supporting trump. It's a pathetic attempt to compensate for having nothing to offer but a continuation of inappropriate and worrisome behavior.

    Are you deplorable?

    If not, you had nothing to be offended about.

    See how that works?

    Yes. You apparently don't. There is a reason socialism bring empty grocery stories and starvation.....no money to eat, no money to grow food.

    Our grocery stores are packed because we have recond low employment, and farmers and producers making food. If people had no money, you'd have no demand at the grocery stores...we get suppy and demand here because of capitalism....Venezula gets noting because of Socialism

    Yes they did. They may not have “collectivized” the “who”, but they absolutly collectivated the “what”. You need look no further than sugar ;) The farm bill is full of subsidies specifically designed to collectivize. You can collectivize by controlling the prices, thus driving the crops desired. I work in a heavy AG state and work directly with Coop’s and crop insurers. We may not have a text book definition of collectivism, but we sure have it in result.

    You think we dont have “land re-distribution” ? It’s called eminent domain. We absolutly have that today. We may not use it at levels that some of those leaders did, but we are well on our way to catching up to them.

    Then you can explain why over half of american children live in homes that get food subsidies ?

    Venezuela gets nothing because of corrupt politicians. Thats NOT a defense of socialism, its pointing out the real reasons, which is corrupt leaders.

    Not sure where you are getting that information...only about 13 percent of the US population is on SNAP https://www.cbpp.org/research/food-...-from-snap-state-by-state-fact-sheets#Alabama

    I agree they get nothing, that's what socialism brings...and of course corruption.

    You collectivize by driving farmers off their land and liquidating the kulaks. That's how the disasters and food shortages in the USSR, China, Zimbabwe and Venezuela happened.

    Not even close.

    Didn't read thread. Collectivists remain terrified that inroads are being made into countering their propaganda camps and methods. Good.

    I got bad news for you and your argument, bro - Maduro admitted that their socialist economic model failed:

    Did you see the footage of the speech Maduro gave recently when the lights went out on him not once but twice? The look on his face was priceless...:lol:

    If they taught just factual history without adding in political comment, there would be little to say about socialism except that it never really existed since it has always been replaced by dictatorships.

    “One of the consequences of such notions as ‘entitlements’ is that people who have contributed nothing to society feel that society owes them something, apparently just for being nice enough to grace us with their presence.”

    Coercion is a necessary feature of socialism. It's only logical and natural that it led to authoritarianism and dictatorship in the countries that implemented it.
