Government organized looting in Venezuela.

Postby Greed and Death » Sun Nov 10, 2013 9:10 pm

President Nicolás Maduro ordered the military to occupy Daka stores, equivalent of best buy ( well maybe closer to circuit city soon given the likely bankruptcy), to sell electronics at a "fair price" in order to combat economic warfare. What does fair mean ? I have no clue what fair means I suspect fair means going out of business.

In other news there is a massive shortage of toilet paper in Venezuela.

In my view I do not even think Venezuela can claim to be a socialist country anymore, instead Venezuela should call itself a really bad right winged satire of socialism.

So what says NSG ? has Venezuela gone too crazy or not ?

It's Maduro. Nothing he does shocks me anymore. Call me back when he's prancing around the presidential residence in a pink tutu while reciting the American Declaration of Independence.

Well, he is a self-proclaimed socialist, so I suppose it'll have to be red.

Venezuela continues to be a corrupt, authoritarian dictatorship. Color me surprised.
I support peace in Israel and Palestine. The governments and people in power on all sides are an absolute disgrace, and their unwillingness to pursue peace is a disservice to the people they are meant to be serving. The status quo is not simply untenable; it is unquestionably unacceptable.

I also from now on get to assume when someone says another needs to be fair he or she means fair in the Maduro sense of the word.

Agreed. Venezuela seems to just be a right-wing parody of Socalism. Shame on them! >:(

Venezuela has never been asinine, never will. It knows the truth of what is being waged against them, it is one of many nations victimised by Capitalist Imperialism.

Imposing fairer prices is best so that their people can continue to afford their commodities without tightening the belt during the times of foreign imposed economic war.

In b4 someone (probably Souriya) says that this is really a justified act of resistance against the evil colonialist imperialist capitalist American oppressors.

A journalist from Venezuela already leaked out documents proving the destabilisation plot. She is Eva Golinger.

You should perhaps look into what she has revealed. To me its unequivocal that Venezuela is facing economic war.
