It's the Marxism, Stupid!

Some idiots in the media are tying Donald Trump to Venezuela dictator Chavez, because both have (had) bombastic personalities.

As Venezuela enters its end-game, the news reports seem strangely unable to diagnose its problem. Could it be, for instance, that the country's destruction resulted from electing leaders with the wrong personality? That didn't help, I'm sure, but as this author points out,
"Look, I’m as scared of a Trump presidency as any reasonably sane center-right pro-democracy millennial. But Trump is not surrounded by a loony team of Marxist advisors hellbent on destroying the economy for the sake of denying that there is such a thing as a market."

In the meantime, I'm still not sure what the final cataclysm will look like, but Venezuelans already are beginning to eat their cats, dogs, pigeons, and zoo animals--those that haven't starved first.
