I'm not sure how I feel about your statement. I see a lot of Venezuelans with no recourse other than to start fighting. I don't see how order is more important than having a chance at a future at all? It is frustrating to watch a socialist country fail yet again. Downvote that statement all you want, it's the truth--the idea of ceding more and more power to a central state always ends up with dictatorship and now it's the world's problem. It's stupid human behavior over and over again and we never learn our lesson. What I simply can't get my head around is why aren't there enough Venezuelans resisting this nightmare? Is everyone just a sheep, go along to get along, afraid to pop their head up lest it get lopped off by government thugs?

As a Venezuelan that left long ago, I feel you. I have had to argue for years with people here that Vzla isn't some socialist paradise. The worst part? The opposition in Venezuela is socialist! Even without tampons and basic medicine they won't admit they are wrong.

  > The opposition in Venezuela is socialist! But are they communist? Or do they just support a welfare state? (Like many of Brazilian extreme right would be confused with the left if they ever traveled to the US. Is it the same case?) I got the impression they were mostly formed by the business people that didn't flee your country.
