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!

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.

Thanks man, things are rough but we're all working our butts off at my family, so we have food, an apartment and a working car. I also am able to pay for my university fees still, which is good.

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.

While it might mean little coming from an outsider @Frettzo, it is unfortunate to hear that is the state of things. Wishing you the best of luck is unlikely to do much, but my sentiments are still there.

Damn. And here I thought the Socialists would soon be out of power and things would soon be improving. I know that people are starving in Venezuela already, and so this is just more really bad news.

When every Republic from the first up until the formation of the American Constitutional Republic was either for the make benefit of the aristocracy, fell apart under its own weight, or was conquered. 👌

When the failure of democracies elsewhere in the modern world to subscribe to European standards is overlooked because that's not democracy. 👌

Really, from what I heard from Venezuela democracy had already failed there. It's about time the government became honest about itself. Or perhaps it did, by national rules. Your government decided it was a good rule to dissolve your assembly, after all. Though, why didn't you fire up a successful petition drive?

Never mind, Maduro decided that it was for sure a bad idea.
