What's Going On In Venezuela (In A Nutshell) | Zero Hedge
The military shooting and killing of protesting students, as I recall, hurt the popular support of one other regime I can think of.
As I have been saying for years, Venezuela has been descending into the nightmare of leftist totalitarian governance. Now free speech is all but gone. The government has taken total control of the economy. Shortages of essential goods are widespread and people are obliged to stand in long lines to get them. It's like the Soviet Union all over again. It is the end stage of the socialist model of government, that to which all leftist agendas tend.
Socialists take power with optimism about creating a socialist utopia, but many or most of the people don't want to go along. So coercion by force and the threat of force becomes necessary to enact the socialist agenda, and from this oppression flows.
Socialists, so certain that any moron can run an economy, bung up the economic works with their ignorant, impractical ideas, and from this shortages, want, a loss of prosperity, starvation, and misery flows.
Open your eyes and see what's happening even as I write this.
it was fairly inevitable,as socialism requires alt of power to make changes,corrupt people abuse that power,and people are corruptable,its been plaguing socialism since the first major attempts in the soviet union.
Right because capitalism is proving to have none of those possible faults.... :lamo :roll:
CARACAS — Venezuelan opposition leader Leopoldo Lopez, the target of a police manhunt for allegedly inciting violence that left three dead at anti-government protests, said Sunday that he will surrender himself after one more demonstration.
Lopez said in a video that he didn't fear arrest but accused authorities of trying to violate his constitutional right to protest against President Nicolas Maduro's socialist government.
He said he would turn himself in after a peaceful march Tuesday to the Interior Ministry, where he said he would deliver a petition demanding a full investigation of the government's role in the deaths.
"I haven't committed any crime," Lopez said. "If there is a decision to legally throw me in jail I'll submit myself to this persecution."

well for one there has never been any real attempt at capitalism,much the same there has never been a real attempt at socialism.
capitalism uses competition to regulate,as well as regulations so long as they are fair and dont aim to eliminate competition.what we have now is neo mercantilism pretending to be capitalism.the politicians write regs to favor those ho support them,but crush their competition.capitalism does not allow picking winners and losers through law,never has and never will.you should read up on what capitalism mercantilisn and protectionism really are.
I wish the people posting photos of the protests would actually post ones from the protest. Instead of making things up.
You imply that the photos in the OP are fake or are taken from protests in other countries, but there is no evidence of that. None of the photos you posted matched those in the OP. Besides which, you post excerpts from what appear to be Venezuelan state controlled media, so how do you know they source the pictures truthfully? You just take their word?
An apologist for a violent, totalitarian regime. How shameful.
Is socialism really worthwhile if you have to lie to defend it?

Totalitarian regime? What a joke.
Venezuela student protest ends in deadly violence
Growing discontent
The march on Wednesday was the latest in a series of anti-government demonstrations in which protesters have demanded the resignation of President Maduro.
Students in the western states of Tachira and Merida have been at the forefront of the protests, saying they are fed up with the lack of security and the poor state of Venezuela's economy.
Venezuela has one of the highest murder rates in the world and is deeply politically polarised, with the opposition blaming the government for the country's economic troubles.
The country has the highest inflation rate in the region at 56.2% in 2013, according to official figures.
Which is why the country has 50%+ inflation.Chavez sold gas at about 5 cents per liter (or even 5 cents per gallon, I forget) for years in order to maintain popularity. Know what selling gas at a total loss will do to a country? This.
Ok, buddy boy, what is it then? It's a communist regime.Totalitarian regime? What a joke.
