Lots of Empty Shelves

That's what socialism means to a country. The Free Market, which collectivists (socialists, communists, progressivists, Fascists, etc.) call capitalism, as an insult, means not only full shelves of goods available, but the need for even more shelves to hold the overage. Collectivism means children starving, and that has become obvious in Venezuela, where the socialist society is crumbling before our eyes because it produces NOTHING. There are riots in the streets over the lack of such staples as toilet paper in stores, let alone food. And luxuries? Only the top "government officials" still get them, as is usual in a socialist society. Socialism means failure. That has been proven in many places. Some socialist "showcases" only survived through "contributions" from other socialist nations that still had some of their people's money left. One such example is Cuba, which only survived for many years while communist Russia "propped them up." Now they're suffering, and may not last another 20 years, now that Russia can no longer give them their people's money. Then there's Russia, which for 75 years was collectivism's "showcase state," until its collectivist state collapsed. And like dominoes, other collectivist states are going down, one after the other, while dedicated collectivists con people into creating new ones, to fail later after sucking the life out of failing collectivist states. Collectivism is one big con, and has made trillions of dollars for the collectivist scams. (The Patriot Post)
