#4 Supermarkets are registered into a system in such a way that they are not permitted to sell Venezuelans food 15 days since their purchase of the same product

A waiting period for food, how novel.

#5 Always the end point of communism and socialism: an early grave from either a rifle or starvation.

#6 Kipling had these guys figured out a long time ago, Percy McCoy7690.
Too bad they don't teach anything worthwhile in school these days.

The problem with our wannabee socialists is that they all think they will be the commisar running the camp, none of them think they will wind up the zek in the camp. It is funny to see the expressions on their faces when the "inner party" apparatchiks demote them to our level.

#8 Also Cindy Shehan who *loved* Hugo and don't forget Barak Obama who held them up as an example.

And lets not forget that Maria Gabriela Chávez. Daughter of the late Dictator, is worth 4.2 Billion (with a B!).

You can bet they aren't waiting in line or hunting down cats and dogs.

#9 Anyone who claims to love socialism so much needs to have their wealth ~~stolen~~ redistributed and made to live in Venezuela with the common peon.

Enjoy!

#10 The worst famines of the last century were all in communist or sicialist countries. Such bad luck.

Then to what can we attribute 'The Bern' and his substantial following ?
Ag, nevermind..... :-(

#12 Deacon, it should be noted that the communists and socialists generally came to power in countries that were already well on their way to mass starvation, if not already there. Communism is not the cure, though it is also not the cause.

#14 Sicialist? Best freudian slip I've seen yet.

#15 Stalin intentionally starved the Ukranians. The 5 year plans for the rest of the Soviet Union were also disasters. In Mao's China the harvests were taken by Mao and the peasants got almost nothing. If you became too weak or too old to work you got nothing.

#16 The famine in the Ukraine occurred in the 1930s and was completely man-made. The much greater famine in China was so as well.
How did these happen? Apparently the local officials were so terrified of being executed for reporting poor harvests, that they made up their reports claiming better ones. The government then demanded that they send off much of the spurious harvests to the cities. Out of fear they sent what was was required of them, leaving nothing for the rural populations to eat. Something like 30 million people died in this famine in China.
