I'm not suggesting it's perfect, Venezuala would never have been a shining example..when I think of success I think of the good standard of living in some of the northern European countries. Canada has socialist leaning's.
My god, what is it with these leftest socialist governments that they will double down on stupid and let their populations starve instead of admitting their policies are idiotic and revert their dumb-ass laws? Appears the next step is to force people to work on State-run farms (slavery). Yes, the Socialists are fine with slavery now.
My God, the stupid hurts! Please pray for the "people" of Venezuela.

Socialism has always been synonymous with slavery.
no it hasn't....cotton plantation owners of the old south were the opposite of socialism.
Actually, I think it's a perfect example of socialism.

I'm surprised no one has posted this..
Venezuela is getting ready to impose forced farm labor for its citizens for 60-day periods to try to address the food shortage.
In a vaguely-worded decree, Venezuelan officials indicated that public and private sector employees could be forced to work in the country's fields for at least 60-day periods, which may be extended "if circumstances merit."
"Trying to tackle Venezuela's severe food shortages by forcing people to work the fields is like trying to fix a broken leg with a band aid," Erika Guevara Rosas, Americas' Director at Amnesty International, said in a statement.
