Ultra-violent street gangs are socialism's end game...

When do the liberals who were touting the benefits of Venezuela's socialist system just a few short years ago come back and admit they were wrong? I'm betting never...

It's interesting you should bring this up, as I have given it some thought lately. When Obama talked about a Civilian National Security Force, I figured it would be left-leaning people in uniforms policing the police and whining about every perceived injustice they saw.

Over the past two years or so, after seeing things in Ferguson and Baltimore, I now understand Obama's goal.

In every heavily "managed' economy you have tons of corruption and violence. They never seem to connect the dots though.

If I can buy toiletpaper - at any time of day, in any brand I want, in any store that wants to be open.. then there will never be any fighting over toilet paper. But, even as you see just product roll outs - and freaking Walmart Black Friday deals - you will have people - behave violently in some manner - to get what is "limited'". Artificially controlling a market - creates "limits" on the amount and availability of products -which inturns leads to violence over them.

This is not a complicated theory and there are ample real world examples of such.

Your link:

"Anderson's gang stalks victims for days before snatching them, and tries to get $5,000-$10,000 ransom paid in euros or dollars within 24 hours. He said his gang killed about 10 of its several dozen kidnapping victims last year, usually because families did not pay on time."

Sounds like capitalism, to me:rolleyes:

Sounds like kidnapping and extortion to me.
 
I disagree -

I think hugo chavez's endgame (former president of Venezuelan) was remaking his nation into either Castro's cuba or Mao-era china.

"What is not in doubt is that gangs like Anderson's often call the shots in Venezuela's slums, not police. He says the National Guard, a unit of the army used for internal security, also works with them.

"'They are in business with us.:eek: We buy automatic weapons from them, tactical vests, whatever we need. And they warn us when they are going to send some cops.'"
