Trouble in Marxist Paradise: Protesters Take to Streets in Venezuela

The inherent vice of capitalism is the unequal sharing of the blessings. The inherent blessing of socialism is the equal sharing of misery. -- Winston Churchill



Protesters in Venezuela are taking to the streets in the thousands in anger over the recovery of the bodies of three boys kidnapped on their way to school. Don’t expect to read or hear about it in the US news media. There’s trouble in President Hugo Chavez’s Marxist utopia and it’s not a pretty sight for his leftist cheerleaders in the US and Europe.



Police wearing riot gear fired tear gas at demonstrators blocking a road as thousands of marchers brought Caracas traffic to a standstill while demanding justice, according to video from the BBC.



After the protests, the capital’s mayor said he was replacing the chief of police with an army brigadier general, which probably means the government will use more force when dealing with demonstrators, reports the BBC.



According to several English-speaking correspondents, there is frustration over the “perceived rise in crime.” Perceived nothing. Caracas is turning into the crime capital of Latin America -- and it’s President Chavez’s fault. Most of the violence is targeting Venezuela’s upper-middle class and wealthy, something he’s encouraged in his vitriolic speeches.
