  6.  @lewisirwin5363  Sanctions didn't stop Venezuela from prospering in 2011 and 12. Maduro just merely inherited what Chavez left behind that blew up in his face leaving him to bear the brunt.

  8.  @MaoistJohnWick  Either way, neither of them are sustainable. <socialist democracy> Europe is finding out the hard way you can't that with open borders at the same time along with too many people in need.

  9.  @MaoistJohnWick  Actually no they're not. And certainly not without other people's money. In social democracy's case, "the rich."

  23.  @regaul4248  <Uruguay> Bad example. Uruguay is one of the better off countries in Latin America, Try Greece or Albania or even Ukraine.

  28. Not quite. This is what happens when non-white Marxists take control.
