  1. What about the millions of women in a similar situation that didn't resort to selling vagina on the corner to survive? It was a choice.

  2. They would be going against their nature.

  3. @ Carlos Spicyweiner But it doesn't compare. Girls in capitalist countries are there by choice. Girls in countries like Venezuela are there by government policy.

  4. @ Carlos Spicywalker It still is a choice.

  5. @Jerk Chicken Their situation has nothing to do with who they decided to marry and plenty to do with who they voted for. And they voted for a politician that promised them free stuff without much regard for where was the money going to come from to pay for it.

  6. No. Let them lie in the bed they made for themselves.

  7.  @djshekelstein6951  He got nothing on a typical caucasoid preying on poverty-stricken Black/Brown/Yellow women, though.

  8. @ S Matar No it doesn't.

  9. And that austerity was due to the people voting for leaders who promised them free stuff without much regard for where was the money going to come from to pay for it, falsifying its records to get EU membership.

  10. The people fighting for socialism are the bored, privileged and sheltered Westerners who live rather comfortably under the capitalism they claim to hate, but are not in any hurry to trade places with those actually living under socialism.

  11. And every other well-meaning leftist.

  12.  @davidl8759  It is a choice. In the Venezuelan and Cuban women's case, it's the unintended consequence of what they voted for which happened to be big nanny state government controlling damn near every aspect of daily life.

  13. It's not men's fault that women have yet to show ability to actually fend for themselves and achieve anything on their own since time immemorial.

  14. That's Greece's problem. Austerity was bound to happen one way or another, especially in a country where literally no one pays income tax and contributes. Did the government and the people really think that the German bankers were lending money to them out of generosity so they can continue living the easy life?

  15. Cuba and Cambodia can attest to that.

  16. Like the typical leftist.

  17. Venezuela was destroyed from within by Chavez and Maduro's eat-the-rich policies.
    2
  18. Because they're ran by leftists and Marxists. Ditto for academia and the entertainment industry.

  19.  P Ciprian  Or better yet: purge the whole country of leftists.

  20. @S Ndiweni That's not socialism. Try state control of all aspects of daily life. In Venezuela's case, state expropriation of land/property/resources for the benefit of the government and its comrades with everyone else being SOL like the women in the video in spite of them voting for said government.

  21. @ A Dad Supreme It is an excuse, especially when the most of countries that ever practiced and/or still practice socialism are populated and governed by Africans, Asians, Latin Americans and (Eastern) Europeans.

  22. @ WithoutRemorse12 But Greece has a serious problem with tax evasion which is what I meant by literally no one pays taxes and contributes.

  23. Meaning Venezuela is a democratic socialist country in practice.
    2
  24. It already does look like it judging by every other city ruled by Democrats.

  25. Translation: Chavez was a naive, delusional, conniving, opportunistic and power-hungry POS like every other leader of his ilk. Ortega, Castro, Mugabe, Mao, Pol Pot, Lenin, Stalin, Kim Il-Sung, Ceausescu, etc.

  26. Like Cuba for Canadian and Western European sex tourists.

  27. Women always had it better. When all else fails, there's always prostitution and marriage.

  28. Nah. It's just socialism running its natural course courtesy of Nicolas Maduro.
    1
  29. Um. It's actually Maduro blocking humanitarian aid from entering the country. Not the US withholding anything.
    1
  30. Not really. That's Venezuela and its 21st Century socialism playing with lives.
    1
  31. This crisis is of Venezuela's own doing. Right now, it's just running its natural course.

  32. It is socialism. This isn't far off from what happened to every other country that adopted socialism. Tyranny, starvation, mass genocide. State expropriation of private property has always been the hallmark of socialism.
    1
  33. And not just economically, but morally and socially.
    1
  34.  @quantumhype9839  Um. No. Public services is not socialism.
    1
  35. Oil and US sanctions are the least of its problems. Venezuela has virtually no functioning private sector thanks to state-expropriation of private enterprise, killing off its middle class.
    1
  36. Nah. Try Maduro's anti-business policies.
    1
  37. For the most part, yes. US women are there by choice. Venezuelan women are there by government policy.

  38. Too bad they never learned from your country's experiment with socialism under Forbes Burnham.
    1
  39.  @av2188  And nowhere nearly as "diverse."

  40.  @БојанПавловић-е3й  Romania, Yugoslavia, Albania and Cambodia were not enemies of the West. Yet except for Yugoslavia, they all floundered the same.

  41. How? The government controls all the land there. They can hardly do much without the government's permission.

  42. Especially economic freedom.

  43. For all except the communists themselves.
