A Native Venezuelan Explains Socialism : Reality of Failure (A Podcast)

Wait! Is this San Francisco? No! This is Venezuela. But

what's the difference? Both controlled by socialist!

What anyone needs to know about socialism is right before our eyes and hears. Venezuela is the poster child for the modern case to explain how destructive socialism is and was over the last century. Cuba? Russia? China?

Again, Winston Churchill understood socialism as Britain was in part organized and lived for centuries in the feudal system of government.

Churchill stated, ''Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance and the gospel of envy. It's inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery''.

Many Millenials believe socialism is a better economic system then capitalism as they believe it ism more fair. Of course that belief changes when the youngsters see how much is taken out of their paychecks every month to help all those that finding work is too difficult.

Even Stalin is given a thumbs up. His philosophy and motte of Soviet communism was, 'From each according to one's ability and To each according to one's needs,'' is just more fair!

Native Venezuelan, Now Proud American, Warns of ‘Fruits of Socialism’

Daniel Davis / @JDaniel_Davis / December 11, 2019

In the 1980s, Patricia Rucker’s family left Venezuela, planning that her father would work for a time in the U.S. “Venezuela to me was the most perfect country you could have on this earth,” Rucker recalls. “Not only beautiful weather—beautiful people, very moral, very safe, very free, never had an income tax. The Constitution of Venezuela was modeled after the U.S. Constitution.”

But the family’s plans changed, even as Venezuela fundamentally changed. “Hugo Chavez was able to win an election by making promises and sowing envy, telling folks you should have what others have, you should have whatever, the nice houses,” Rucker warns. “You should get this, you should get that.”

Now a U.S. citizen and a West Virginia state senator, Rucker is speaking out about the dangers of socialism. Read the lightly edited interview, posted below, or listen on the podcast:
