Venezuela destroys 30,000 guns

I doubt it will have any affect on violent crimes...just like I think it has little affect here in the states when such things are done.

The tea baggers march in part to prevent that type of Socialism here. The message is to let the government know they're being watched.

Its funny how some people think a different ideological banner can change anything about the people who really control a society- a pig remains a pig, even if its pink or brown.
You read this anti-socialist shit- like fascist Germany or the soviet union was "socialist"!
You hear righties saying and lefties hoping obama is "socialist", but still we have a unregulated derivatives market and ambiguous laws which are open to broad interpretation by bigwig laywers for the benefit of the ruling classes, heavy regulations on small business practices and lax or protectionist regulations on big multi-national corps,all for the differal of liabilities and financial losses. Maintaining the usuary of the productive in society.
Whatever Chavez can do doesn't scratch the worlds financial elite and whatever government exists anywhere is only about a point of strategy for those that hold the coin and the strongest position in the monetorial flow in the world.
Until major regulatory changes are made to share market system the USA is down the shit tube, pity some just can't see that, but maybe they play the market and like the money for nothing lifestyle- talk about foxes with the keys to the hen house!
Yeah let's watch them fuck us in the arse- good idea!
It's all lose, lose what ever way you watch it, so build a bridge and get the fuck over it!

Um, National Socialist German Workers Party? Nationalsozialistische Deutshe Arbeiterpartei?

Nazi Germany was socialism without the democratic part. The USSR was socialism in its purest form, with all capitalism abolished and without the democratic part. Venezuela is socialism heading into either national socialism or communism - or if you prefer, a democracy turned dictatorship sliding into pseudosocialism for PR reasons.

My point exactly is you can call it anything you like, how it adheres to the given ideologies principles is another matter. Bit like calling USA a democracy, tick your box and chuck it in the bin for all its worth. All ideologies work in principle, like any economic theory does on paper, until things are formulated to correct past failures in a system, your going still backwards.
So watching the money and fighting the abuses of your own system is where your energy is best focused, getting into brand names is hair brained and pointless, the apathetic are better off then the ideologue- the kind that demonize a word, being diverted from the real issues at hand to themselves at the ground level which could make a real difference to the future, instead of living in a fear inducted past.
Chavez, shamez! The MSM is diverting your attention to what reform is needed most in YOUR country- REGULATION of the share market and the financial engineering going down, this is priority #1, unless you like getting legally looted every 7years, look into the mirror not over the border to some insignificant 3rd world country and what their doing, you got much bigger fish to fry in your own waters, time to stick em with a gaff hook and stop the tag and release of those shitbags. This all just digressional tactics, don't sucker to it is my point.
Socialism is only a reaction to abuses of a countries financial system, so attack the disease not the symptoms or you might end up living in a dictatorship yourself.
If your apathetic at lest your never disappointed with it all at lest you'll have more true friends in an impoverished Amerika, you could go to samba classes for free!
