It's funny how Central Americans are moving by the millions to the U.S. and not to Venezuela, which is much closer. And three million Venezuelans have left Venezuela recently. So which is the better country?
I think you need to check the definition, Tex! isolationist a person favouring a policy of remaining apart from the affairs or interests of other groups, especially the political affairs of other countries. Obviously, Americans are NOT isolationists.
Our Civil War was probably inevitable. It was good to resolve the slavery issue, but the cost was so high. Most scholars say slavery would have died out naturally about 1890-1920 if the war had not occurred. The people did not know that in 1861.
You are wrong. Socialism is the best for employment. You need to look for other sources of political philosophy than CIA Propaganda and "Dick & Jane Easy Reader" books.
The unemployment rate in the U.S. is 3.6%. What is it in Europe? 11%? What is it in Venezuela? 50%? You are clueless on economics.
?!?!?!?!?!?!?! What in the unholy Hell is the matter with YOU people ?! YOU have How many Military Bases strewn all over the World ? How many countries have you bombed back into the Stone Age ? How many freak control Alliances ? - How many countries are you presently Sanctioning How many criminal dictatrors do your Military back at the behest of Your Corporations? To How many counties do you send your School of the America's death squad graduates ? How many Latin American countries have you bullied &/or Invaded "Americans are Isolationists." - YOU say - Is this what may be considered a Gutter Shallow Facetious Joke ? Or are YOU Crazy ! ? - Or is your sanity &/or basic Intellegence .......................................................to be called into question ? Despite recently closing hundreds of bases in Iraq and Afghanistan, the United States still maintains nearly 800 military bases in more than 70 countries and territories abroad—from giant “Little Americas” to small radar facilities. Britain, France and Russia, by contrast, have about 30 foreign bases combined. Fact is America Has Become An Obscene Empire That Worships The Golden Calf
I am not interested in debating the point so I'll take your word for it. Tell me what the unemployment rate is in North America and I'll do my best to tell you what it is in Europe. That's a lot more than it was when it was a functioning Socialist nation - that is to say, before the CIA started subversive operations in the country. I know the difference between a nation prospering on its own merits and one that is the victim of foreign treachery.
Then why is the era with the most democratically progressive social policy the greatest era of prosperity in your nation? How did China, which is not really socialist but which you would label so in your reflexive demonization, able to lift 800 million out of abject poverty and drive the economic engine of the planet after 2008?
What did we do to the saudis? They are the ones who flew the planes. Somehow bush extrapolated that to Saddam.
What ! - you want to change the subject now? You want to talk unemploymnet stats ...................................................................................................and clueless Economics ? I thought we were talking "Strategies of Terror" & Sacrificing Venezuelans ...........................................................................................................to The Golden Calf You still don't believe me about "The Empire Of The Golden Calf" ? Consider Again Mike Pompeo - Secretary of State - one of the highest offices in the Land making a JKE and laughing about his Lies, Cheats, & God only knows what - as he spills and burps about "The Glorious American Experiment"
I didn't pay much attention to Venezuela until very recently, when I stumbled over the fact that it has the largest oil reserves of any country on Earth: https://www.worldatlas.com/articles/the-world-s-largest-oil-reserves-by-country.html Now a LOT of things are coming into focus. Maduro may as well pack his bags and get ready to leave. His days are numbered unless he gets his socialist ass on a plane and gets the hell OUT.
That may very well be TRUE But - Wat Chaaa - saying here Polly ? Kiss Ass & Lick Boot - & give em what they want ? we should bare ourselves to the Parasite ? seems a lousy long term survival technique to me
Why would anyone want to travel over a thousand miles on foot to get to a country that's experiencing a civil war and humanitarian crisis?
Well said, E.S. You might also want to show him this chart. All of the top nations are Socialist Democracies:
I realize that you already know the answer but for the benefit of the boys and girls who are distracted by throwing spitballs and playing with themselves ...... IT'S ALL ABOUT OIL.
Says the guy that thinks the US lost WW2. Seriously, he started a thread about it. Now he thinks employment rates are better in socialist countries. Venezuela is socialist and sits at around 50% We are Capitalist and we sit at 3.6% What happened to the educational systems in the world?
No one wants to move to the sinking socialist ship that is Venezuela. On the contrary, everyone on the ship is jumping off.
I was told "socialist countries are the best at providing employment". So I pointed out the unemployment rate is 3% in the U.S., 11% in Europe, and 50% in Venezuela. I killed his ignorant economic opinion.
Venezuela is in the middle of a crisis, aided and abetted by the US. Any more special pleading, right wingers? and, y'all don't understand Socialism; this is simple wealth redistribution that benefits the Rich at the expense of the Poor: https://www.usdebtclock.org/
Under capitalism, some people earn $100,000 per year and some people earn $20,000. Its very unequal. But that's vastly preferable to socialism/communism where everyone earns $200 per year (see Cuba).
