Progressives On Socialist Hellhole Venezuela: Hey, It’s Better Than The US – Townhall
Well, if you want to lose faith in humanity and see the stupidity of hipster liberals in New York City, this is the video for you. Ami Horowitz took to the streets to talk about income inequality with some of the most insufferable people on the planet: progressives. Of course, they all felt it was a critical issue. One man was a member of the Working Families Party in the state. So, which country can we look to for guidance in solving this issue? How about socialist hellhole Venezuela? Its the nation with rolling blackouts, inadequate medical supplies, no toilet paper, no food, and rampant crime. Venezuelans are looting to survive, where people are eating pets and eating out of trashcans. With food supplies running low, government-run committees have been set up to assisted with distribution, but for those who have criticized the government, no food for you. Thats 21st Century Socialism.
Horowitz then asks the interviewees, all of whom no doubt are "still feeling the Bern," if they think that we should model ourselves on another country that promises "income equality": Venezuela, which, he explains, is in the midst of an economic death spiral to the point where it is experiencing dire food shortages and frequent violence between citizens and police forces. Despite the hellish reality of Venezuelas failed socialist state, all of his interviewees still thought Venezuelas day-long food lines would be preferable to the United States selfish, "undignified" capitalistic system.
Even though theres some downside, theres some violence there and some food lines," Horowitz says to bandana guy, "but still everyone has to do the same thing they wait in line equally."
Though the young man appears to be quite knowledgeable about Venezuela, nodding and agreeing with Horowitz' description of its crisis situation, he still agrees with Horowitz that its better to "wait in line equally."
"That is, I think, a fair system," says Horowitz.
"I agree," says bandana guy emphatically.
Interviewee after interviewee agrees that modeling ourselves after Venezuela is a great idea because America is just too unfair and "undignified."
"If you gotta wait in line for stuff, we should all wait in line together," says Horowitz.
Either these people dont read, dont care, or dont know. Regardless, slamming America while idolizing a left wing nation thats an economic nightmare; thats progressivism for you.
