World of Warcraft's in-game gold is more valuable than the Venezuelan bolívar. Let that sink in.

I can't believe there are people who still think socialism can work

[ultimategamer]

"Supporters called the opposition terrorists" Oh good, delegitimize them. That's not a recipe for civil war or anything, just ask Syrians.

"The goal of socialism is communism." Vladimir Lenin
Communism equals freedom, said no one ever!

MAYBE CBS SHOULD EXPLAIN HOW THE SOCIALIST GAIN MORE POWER

I really hope Venezuela to be a normal democratic country... the country looks like paradise to be honest

This is what happens when your leaders try to implement socialism on a society. Socialism is the exact opposite of freedom. The socialists bet on oil as their only source of income. Very lazy. Socialism has never ever ever ever worked for the common citizen. It has ALWAYS made the corrupt police and armies stronger and the political "leaders" extremely rich. If you support this socialist dictatorship, you are an enemy of the people of Venezuela and you are an enemy of freedom.

Anyone else feels like this is just now getting worst and it is the best time for Us Republicans to have an issue like this in Venezuela. Not that we want them to suffer or go through this except it shows what would happen if a so-called "Democrat" in America got in office. Look what 1 guy did to an entire country in 8 years. We just needed one more person for us to turn to this.

Capitalism is failing, socialism is failing, communism failed, everything is failing. What can we do to fix this? Should a new economic system be formed, should there be one global economy, people are protesting and murdering eachother for "change" when they don't even know what they want to change, how they will do it, and how to preserve it.

This is what Bernie Sanders and Ocasio Cortez want.🤦🏼‍♂️

[midorishiwa]

Everyone who says that is what Bernie wants, do we say that what Trump want is Turkey or Uganda or whatever other Conservative dictatorship?

S.O.S HELP Pleas. Venezuela needs help

Guarantee the CIA has a hand in these protests.

I don’t have freedom I can’t it CHEETOS in a library

[michaelvonstukahausen]

Lol, Venezuela? Who cares I like the footage.

[reallybadaim]

That poor paid protester. She speaks in platitudes. We want liberty and freedom. You were free to install that government long time ago. Maduro is your leader. Respect him.
