The UK is not as bad as Venezuela

Jeremy Corbyn has no power over Venezuela, which is troubled far more by the lack of willingness to cooperate with itself than by anything that Maduro as a person could ever do.

There as in the UK, or anywhere else, specific politicians can only do what the population enables them to.

The UK is indeed very different from Venezuela, but it is puzzling to see people seemingly claim fear that "socialism" would make any specific country endangered in similar ways to Venezuela's.

In all honesty, that is a difficult claim to take seriously.

Totally......
What's more, it is never an "either/or" situation. Elements of socialism can be blended with elements of other ideologies including capitalism.

You may wish for the UK to become the new Venezuela but I do not.

I am not sure if there is as much anti-Semitism in Venezuela as there is in Jeremy Corbyn’s Labour Party though, so Venezuela might have some good points.

Venezuela is all the alt-Right have to play down socialism. Shout it from the roof tops, Venezuela, Venezuela,, carry on ad infinitum.
No one on here wants that 'socialist' model.

The Left are very good at telling us what no one wants.

I believe that people should have the free will to make up their own minds about what they want or do not want.

Agreed, as long as it doesn't stop anyone else's enjoyment.
You have some weird ideas about the 'left' - you need to get out of the bubble.

The Left are the thought police and believe that their thoughts are so much better than anyone else’s are.

The Left does not want to listen to alternative thoughts because they might just burst their bubble.

So the Alt-Right says ... get out of your Bubble - you have not a clue about the left; you don't know it apart from what your websites say, which is all propaganda

As you are a supporter of the Green Party, you should know all about propaganda.

The Green Party is a wolf in sheep’s clothing.

Just because you call yourself Green, does not mean that you are not Red to the core.
