People who are advocating for Socialism in America have no idea what they are talking about. We just have to look to Venezuela to see the end-game of Socialism. It has only been 22 years since Hugo Chavez took over and Venezuela has been reduced to this. From Reuters:
As lockdown hurts, desperate Venezuelans turn to cow blood soup
Since Venezuela went into its coronavirus lockdown, dozens of needy people have been lining up at a slaughterhouse in the western town of San Cristobal to pick up the only protein they can find for free: cattle blood.
Mechanic Aleyair Romero, 20, goes twice a week. He lost his job at a local garage and says boxes of subsidized food from the government of President Nicolas Maduro arrive too slowly.
“I have to find food however I can,” said Romero, holding a coffee thermos dripping with blood the slaughterhouse gives away.
Though cow’s blood is a traditional ingredient for “pichon” soup in the Venezuelan Andes and neighboring Colombia, more people have been seeking it out since the COVID-19 crisis.
In a proudly carnivorous nation, few are happy about eating more blood instead of meat - a kilo of which costs about two times the monthly minimum wage.
Venezuela used to be the bread-basket of South America. It had the highest GDP, it exported food. It was a wealthy and vibrant culture. Now? Ashes.
