Not being political. But that Socialism hasn't worked out so good for Venezuela. JS.

You are right Venezuela is struggling, they have a lot of oil that big oil companies want to help extract and they don’t want To pay them to do that. There has been a bit of friction there for some time after the last leader died( i can;t remember his name ) there was a bit of confusion and someone infused a lot of chaos, I wonder who that might have been. 
Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Holland and the Scandinavian countries are not socialist countries just because they have a national healthcare system, a good social net, and subsidized or free education. They are democratic countries who value each other and are focussed on improving the well being of everybody, so taxes are higher, and most people that live there understand that. They are a little left of centre leaning countries but I don’t see that as a scary thing, taking care of each other. Whenever I hear this kind of debate I really don’t understand what people are afraid of. In the fifties America confused socialism with communism, now they are confusing socialism with fascism, I am pretty sure big corp and their cronnies are behind the misinformation and fear mongering becasue it doesn’’t make any sense.
