Indeed - Venezuela

I truly think that communism is a form of mental illness or a belief system for those sporting an IQ less than 60 - nothing else explains its continuance. From The Washington Free Beacon:

Victims of Communism Memorial Group Tells Networks to Stop Whitewashing Crimes of Socialist Venezuela
The Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation is asking major news networks to bring attention to the violent tactics being used by the Socialist regime in Venezuela.

Media attention on Venezuela has been sparse, as the country is on the brink, with a food shortage, an inflation rate as high as 800 percent, and violent crackdowns and the detention of thousands of protesters who oppose President Nicolas Maduro.

Four more people were killed yesterday, adding to the more than 40 dead and 750 injured since protests began in March.

Marion Smith, the executive director of the Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation, sent letters to the heads of CBS, NBC, and ABC on Tuesday asking the networks to adequately cover the violence and failures of the socialist country, which he says is closer than ever to becoming a communist regime.

"Venezuela has descended into complete and utter chaos as a result of a brutal, socialist government whose citizens are starving under its tightening grip every day," said Smith. "Make no mistake, this is a humanitarian disaster and socialist policies are to blame."

Smith said Venezuela's Marxist experiment began in 1999 and has transformed the Latin American country from one of the most prosperous in the region into a nation that has no access to toilet paper.

"With each passing year, what was once one of the most prosperous countries in Latin America became poorer and poorer," Smith said. "What was once a free country became repressive. Those who tried to reform the failing policies of the ruling United Socialist Party of Venezuela were brutally repressed, imprisoned, and even murdered."

Maduro is an absolute nut-case. He only cares about his glorious revolution and he does not see what pain he is bringing to his citizens. My only hope is that whomever has the courage to separate his head from his body returns Venezuela to a republic and does not try to institute themselves as yet another president for life.
