Venezuela'? Where do these morons come up with this bullshit. There is nothing communist about Venezuela - she is socialist and there is a significant difference. Spare us the lies NBC Miami.

The sight or sound of a commie gets the hatred flowing like nothing else for those raised on Ayn Rand, worshippers of private property above all else in the world.

Which explains why can't the USA have a military coup d'etat like Venezuela, where the generals side with the people instead of the plutocrats?

3. Other than Cuba and Vietnam, there aren't many communist countries left

China's more capitalist every day. North Korea is a dictatorship.

4. The wealthy are very uncomfortable

with Hugo sharing the country's oil money with the people. He's offered a few times to give free oil to the poor of this country for heating. That makes him a communist?

I don't know much abut Venezuela, but do people own businesses, homes, cars, have health care, schools, etc.?

6. Course they do

That's why calling Venezuela communist is bullshit
