Venezuela did not started by nationalizing all the industry, they did  some at a time, and at the beginning none where taken over. When ever they needed more money cuz they destroyed the first buisnes they took over, they move on to the next one. The latest things they took over was personal homes to turn a area into a turist atraction.

The same will be with berni and the rest of the democrats runing on socialism. When its ovbious that they cant pay for it, another sector will suffer and so on and so on, just like venezuela.

So Venezuela didn't immediately went socialist the moment Chavez was elected, I got it. 

Look I'm not a Socialist and I don't want to defend Socialism nor Maduro and Chavez, they are awful but it's incredibly dishonest fear mongering to say the "far left" democratic candidates will turn the US into a failed socialist country like Venezuela. Bernie, Warren and co have very moderate policies which have been in force in other countries for decades without turning those countries into "shithole countries".

Hell Germany has a form of universal healthcare since 1883 and I'm unaware that Germany is known for ruining its economy or that Germans are known to be lazy.

All im saying is that there is the potential for the slippery slope. Once the doors is open for moderate socialist programs. Like vivster said before, Unless the full nation wide its not gona have even a chance of working. But there is no way the US will just take in all of germanys policies in that manner. It will have to be a few a a time, slowly. but if you leave programs half ass like that they are bound to fail one by one and by the time you could get to where germany is it will all be a clusterf**k.



It takes genuine talent to see greatness in yourself despite your absence of genuine talent.
