As Venezuelans struggle with widespread shortages in everything from basic food stuffs to toilet paper, the socialist nation’s defense minister announced on Wednesday that the military will take control of the distribution of "all medical and surgical supplies managed in all hospitals."Venezuelan Minister of Defense Vladimir Padrino López said during an address broadcast on state-owned Venezolana de Televisión that the National Bolivarian Armed Forces of Venezuela will take control of the medical supply sector "to guarantee that these medicines and supplies get to the patient efficiently and are neatly distributed and assigned."
One in three people admitted to public hospitals last year died, the government reports. The number of operational hospital beds has fallen by 40 percent since just 2014. And as the economy fails, the country is running short on 85 percent of medicine, according to the national drugstore trade group.
Everything from common painkillers to cancer and HIV drugs have become almost impossible to find across the country and some doctors have resorted to using veterinary medications in lieu of human ones — according to the Pharmaceutical Federation.

But, but, but that's not real socialism.

Youre right. Here we go again with leftists pretending the collapse of a socialist country is not the fault of socialism.

Here we go again. j-mac makes another "venezuela is the epitome of socialism" thread and the sheep fall in line bleating the same garbage every time he makes one of these idiotic threads.

You guys will say "SEEEE!!1!!!1!!! Look at Venezuela for socialismz!!1!!!"

Someone else will say

"SEEEEEE!111!!!1! Look at Somalia for free market capitalismz!11!!!"

Don't you get tired of talking past one another with such inane bull****?

No, because it is the left who make both arguments. It is the left who held up Venezuela as the beacon of socialism. And it is also the left that fraudulently throws Somalia out as some sort of libertarian paradise. Now that Venezuela has collapsed due to socialism, the left shuts their ears and eyes and buries their collective heads in the sand and pretends they never heard of the place. There are consequences of socialism. And Venezuela lays them out nicely.

Well, why don't you address it with some sort of intelligence then? Instead of chiming in with the ususal, 'everyone that doesn't think like me is stupid' meme....Lazy?

Bull****. I've never done this and I've never read anyone else on the left doing this. Maduro is a piece of **** dictator and Chavez was too. I've said this for many many years.

The comedy is watching these same folks spamming this crap are the same ones aligning themselves with putin's puppet in trump. The cognitive dissonance is astounding.

I have in several of your other "OOOOOO Venezuela is like bernie sanders!!!" threads in the past. Don't you have a "Moar people died in Chicago" spam thread to start now?

I mean that's what you do. You spam Chicago and Venezuela threads all the damn time and never make any new point.

I post about Venezuela because it is probably the most recent example of Socialist failure, and what it does to a society...Before this happened to them, they were probably the most prosperous country in South America...Now they are a **** hole, because that is what Socialism does. And as long as we have dumb ass wanna be Socialists here in America that dream of open borders, and a Socialist America, then I will continue to highlight what it does to free, and prosperous countries....If you don't like it, don't post in the thread. Simple.

If your idea of a "prosperous" country is one in which there exists a small obscenely wealthy elite while just about everyone else lives in abject poverty and squalor. Socialism isn't responsible for the state of affairs in Venezuela. It's what happens when you don't have a very well diversified economy and your revenue is based mostly on the shifting sands of market value for a volatile commodity. That and politicians who think making up for shortfalls in revenue by printing more money is a good idea.
