It seems to me that I'm living in a dangerous country indeed. On another note, inflation is expected to reach 2880% this year. Yes, you read that right!

Get out if you can. Good luck.

	Remember kids! Socialism and Communism does not and will never work! If it looks too good on paper, then do not trust it! 

Sorry about your country going into a shitty dictatorship with the side of socialism. Hope that you are doing well.

I don't think failure should be used as proof that society should never attempt to improve or advance. You take a snapshot of democracy from the beginning of time until 1776 and you won't find a democracy that didn't fall on its face completely, but the system got worked out eventually (well, maybe). Something tells me that a period of 100 years is probably not a large enough sample size to make the determination you are making.
