The vision of the left. Oliver Stone, Spicoli, Michael Moore....... Their thinking now lies with Bernie Sanders, Lizzie Warren, Keith Ellison...........
This is what the left wants....... They really do. And they have idiots in place to try to make it happen.

Venezuela trudged further down its road to serfdom when a sham election on May 20 returned Nicolas Maduro to the presidency for another six-year term. Venezuela's experiment with democratic socialism has now run its course from early optimism through economic dysfunction and now ever-closer to political tyranny.
A mere 20 years ago Hugo Chavez ran for president on a populist campaign promising socialist economic policies. He won the 1998 election with 56.2% of the vote in what was considered a fair election overseen by international observers, including former U.S. President Jimmy Carter.
Venezuela quickly became the poster child for successful socialism. Unlike the other socialist governments, Venezuela's was democratically elected and political freedoms were maintained. Incomes rose; poverty, illiteracy, and inequality all fell. Venezuela seemed to deliver socialism's promise unlike anywhere else in the world.
Leftists in the United States praised Chavez after his death in 2013. Salon.com claimed "Chavez racked up an economic record that a legacy-obsessed American president could only dream of achieving."
