        Capitalism is the unequal distribution of wealth. Communism is the equal distribution of poverty. You would think that Venezuela would have learned their lesson from Cuba's mistakes. Very sad indeed.

        Worth it to remind people just how brain-damaged socialism is.

        Never understood why Americans take the example of Venezuela rather than Norway as the poster boy for socialism. Wait, I do.

        Norway isn’t a socialist country.

        Just because welfare is endorsed heavily in Norway doesn't automatically make it socialist. It's a capitalist model with an increased emphasis on social policy.

        Socialism is not 0 and 1. Both Venezuela and Norway tried democratic socialist models with varying degrees of private ownership. One succeeded, the other didn't.

        Democratic socialism is fundamentally incompatible with capitalism, yet you cannot argue that Norway is not to some degree, a capitalist country. For Norway it is neither black nor white, but rather grey, i.e. a blend of both. Point stands, Norway is not socialist country.

        Interesting and well written piece by a Russian living in Venezuela who has also mastered the English language. Well done sir.

        @SenSanders disagrees. He, like Fidel Castro, wants Socialism or death. Berrnie has a dream to turn America into a Venezuela Socialism or death always promises prosperity yet always produces death. Bernie is an alien white that plagues the West. Move to Israel. Leave us alone.

        Why does this remind me of what the English did to the Irish?
