Socialism is something that should only be wished on one’s enemies.
For years, Venezuelans have voted for overt socialists. It all seemed great at first. “Free” health care, education, food, shelter, clothing, etc.
The government ‘paid’ for everything with abundant oil. But now oil prices have hit rock bottom and the Venezuelan government owes its contractors millions.
Venezuelans now lack basic toilet paper, cable TV, phone service and medicine. See here.
