Enjoy communism (II): Venezuela to cut 6 zeros from its currency

[Sithara007]

A comfortable position for your opponents
By the way, I noticed that many supporters of utopian concepts, that if something goes wrong with them, according to their plans, the guilty one is immediately found. As a result, the picture they have is "it was not me who shit in my pants, it was someone else who shit in my pants ..."
Before realizing that the socialist fantasy vanished into thin air, the same countries were the "rotting west", and then so oops - someone shit in these dreamers' pants, broke their socialism and built it, quickly, in New Zealand, Sweden and other countries! They are funny!

I live in India, and you can find youngsters supporting Communist party in every nook and corner. They can be recognized instantly. Will be high on weed most of the time and will be wearing red headbands and Che-Guevara t-shirts. They believe that it is cool to insult the army and shout anti-national slogans. Previously this disease was limited to some of the smaller states such as Kerala and West Bengal, but now it has spread to the larger states as well. And the funny thing is that India has never witnessed communist rule. The CPI never managed to get more than 5% of the total seats in parliament at any time after the independence.

From my observations, the "breeding" environment for communism-socialism is, as a rule, a lumpenized environment, or people with an unformed worldview or lack of quality knowledge. It sounds like a shame, but the fact is that in a society that belongs to the middle class (we do not take into account those who are bought or interested), supporters of communism / socialism are at the level of statistical error. But the lower "to the bottom" of life - the more there are supporters of communist or socialist ideas! And there the idea of ​​"take away and divide" is the main idea in their life!
I strongly advise you to watch the film "Heart of a Dog", based on the novel by Mikhail Bulgakov - it perfectly shows the picture of how such a lumpen proletariat comes to power in Russia ... The film is simply amazing, I am sure it is with an English translation and you will enjoy watching it!
PS Generally I recommend reading the works of Bulgakov !

Lol! It seems to me that the same thing is happening around the world.

hyperinflation is characteristic of communist countries

If you are trying to make a general point that hyperinflation occurs exclusively in communist states, and is an inevitability, then this statement is misleading and untrue.

Certainly, +1 on that. Again, not a defender of communism as a viable and likeable way of governing and tbh I do not think Venezuela is truly communist. But, beyond that, you will certainly admit that Erdogan is not a communist leader precisely, and you may see how the Turkish Lira is in hyperinflation. A few countries in Africa y, this is me guessing, Afghan currency are on the same path and none of these could be classed as communist regimes.

Inflation is a hidden tax from an irresponsible government to their citizens.

No, actually I didn't say it was only exclusive to communist countries, but if you look at where hyperinflation has occurred, it is not usually in countries that practice strict austerity in public spending and have a small state. On the contrary, they are states that spend and spend and spend. Italy would be an example. Before joining the euro, it also removed 0s, and it was not strictly communist but it had a state and a much larger state public expenditure than Germany, for example.

I'm going to leave the thread open a bit longer and I will lock it, because it is already drifting into discussion about communism in general. If someone wants to, they can open another one.

The sad thing is that some people are serious about supporting communism not knowing the horrors that the communism brings, I think a lot of people should learn about Stalin and the cannibal island, Pol Pot's Regime that's still killing people to this day.

Agree with what you said because the US has enough on their plate already and don't they need to add more. But, let me get this straight. Are you Kamala to replace Biden as the President?
What I read is that lawmakers wrote a letter to Biden to let Kamala take the role of controlling the illegal immigration at the southern border.

Biden doesn't look fit to be the president of the United States. I don't believe that he has dementia, as the GOP House members would like to argue, but he is not looking to be in good state.

I don't know the character you see in him that makes you believe he's (Biden) not fit to be the President of the United States but no one is fit to be US president than someone that study law in school.
Regarding dementia, we can rely on Trump's statement about Biden having dementia because he's not happy in the first place that he lost the election to him.

So it is just a matter of time before Kamala replaces him as the POTUS.

Tomorrow is not promised and we can't make conclusions here when our opinions don't count.

Yeah.. there is no guarantee. Kamala as the POTUS is risky for the Dems. Right now they don't want to alienate the moderate vote. Kamala will charge up the left-wing, but she'll swing the suburban voters towards the GOP. I guess the Dems have already learnt their lesson from 2016 and will be more careful before thinking about such a step. But then, someone needs to replace Biden in the next few years. I am not sure whether he can cling on till 2024. He is not in the best of his health, and is not as active as others would like him to be.

Well, as I said before, and as I see the conversation is already drifting to Biden Kamala etc. I proceed to lock the thread. Thanks for your opinions.
