Adigital short called "Democrats Love Socialism" by Ami Horowitz of Fox News was released on March 15 and highlights the struggles of citizens in socialist Venezuela, includingmass hunger and a high murder rate. Horowitz contrasts this struggle to Americans at the beginning of the short, who tell Horowitz there is nothing wrong with socialism.

In Venezuela, Horowitz walked with a man who was looking for acat or a dog to eat,and talked to people who claimedthey have to wait all day in a line to get just a small amountof food or milk. One woman said that she sometimes shakes at night due to hunger and passes out.

"Before all these problems started we were middle class, but now we are lower class," one Venezuelan woman said.

The Venezuelans Horowitz interviewed also discussedthe high crime rateandfrequent murders.

Horowitz said Venezuela has three times the amount of murder inthe United States, despite being less than one tenth of America's population. And although Venezuela bears strict gun laws, its capital city of Caracas has more death than Baghdad.

Venezuelanstold Horowitz about losing loved ones inshootings that are ignored by the police. The documentary has ascene where a man was just shot in a busy street, buta police officer casually walks by.

Horowitz then asked Venezuelans if socialism works, and what they think of the Americans who want it applied to the U.S.

"No, because if it really worked we wouldn't be in chaos and hunger," one man said.

"No, it doesn't work here," another man said. "It's all a lie they tell us."

"I would tell the Americans not to commit to that madness because that is all a lie," a woman said. "They lied to us. We don't have anything to eat. Crime has taken over."

Somepeople Horowitz spoke to said that those who advocate for socialism in the United States should go to Venezuelaand experience it first.

Horowitz closed the video by showing a woman preaching about socialism in the United States.

"They are one of the most productive, their people are the happiest, they have the least amount of crime, violence," the woman said. "There's nothing wrong with it in my eyes."
