Venezuela goes deeper into the hyperinflation abyss

Once you start printing larger denomination fiat...you might as well just give up.  Ask Zimbabwe how that worked out.



tHugo's leftist legacy reaching fruition.  Angry mobs should dig his dead ass up and mutilate it and hoist it up in the central square!

The sad thing about both Venezuela and Zimbabwe,  neither were poor nations before their current "leadership".  Now they are both basket cases. 

My local library has a travel video produced before Zimbabwe went off the tracks.   It was once a pretty nice place to visit.

The oil collapse is part of it...but hey they can bitch to the Saud's all they want...

A cautionary tale of socialism and despotism run amok...a cautionary tale if there ever was one.

I like the comment posted by perfessa - "Those ignorant young souls climbing aboard the Bernie Sanders wagon are too young to remember communism but should be forced to read about countries like Venezuela, Ecuador and their contemporaries. Socialism/progressivism/communism----all the same crapola"

But stupid is stupid...and the stupid here will merely say "They didn't get it right, we're smarter".

More crapola!

The situation in Venezuela has become so bad that even soldiers are struggling to support themselves.

Over the weekend, six members of the Venezuelan military were detained by local authorities for stealing goats, the Venezuelan newspaper El Nacional reported Sunday. It said the soldiers confessed to stealing the goats and said they did it to feed themselves, since they had no food left in their barracks.

“It’s not a good sign when your military doesn’t have enough food, and when the military has been relegated to guarding and protecting food lines,” said Jason Marczak, director of the Latin America Economic Growth Initiative at the Atlantic Council. “This is endemic of the problems going on across the country.”

No shyt?  it's not a good sign when droves of people are starving.  This is about to get really nasty.  But hey, it's not socialism's fault, the fault is in the implementation not the ideology, right?!

Morons.

Venezuelan opposition leader Henrique Capriles said the army must decide whether it is "with the constitution or with (President Nicolas)Maduro"

Venezuela's opposition leader urged his country on Tuesday to defy a state of emergency decreed by the government as it grapples with an acute political and economic crisis.

Henrique Capriles spoke as the opposition-controlled congress prepared to debate the sweeping measures ordered by President Nicolas Maduro.

He said lawmakers will probably reject Maduro's plan, and that if the government insists the decree remain in force, "it is up to us... to ignore this decree."

I don't know what these pendejos are bitching about...nothing can be quintessentially socialist than long lines, empty shelves and skyrocketing prices.

You know you are in a collapsing socialist utopia, when...

People begin using the local zoo as a supermarket.

Mmm, pigs, sheep and horses...oh my!

Oh, and what do total effing idiots do when socialism fails?

I bet you didn't guess go harder with more socialism!

Hilarious.  It's going to get a lot worse now.

Oh, and BTW I don't think Jesus wants anything to do with this a-hole, Marx or any stinking God-hating leftist puke, so knock that crap off!

I wonder if Maduro has ever seen a certain video that was broadcast as a Christmas present to the Romanian people in 1989?
