Venezuelan eating a cat on the street – Extreme hunger caused by Socialism and corrupt government

in #life7 years ago

Hello fellow steemians and crypto bloggers,

A Venezuelan friend sent me this video today which has really impacted me. While living in Cuba during the 90’s famine AKA “Special Period” I heard about things like this happening all the time. I know that members of my family resorted to eating their pets once things turned really dire.

As far as I know I didn’t eat cat or dog meat, but I was a kid, maybe my parents lied to me, I don’t really know and they never tell me about these things, they change the conversation if you speak about this since it’s an embarrassing topic for most Cubans. I have pictures of my family members that look like they came from a concentration camp in Germany but my parents even tried to destroy them once out of shame. I still have them scanned though, I may decide to share them here someday.

I share this because I continuously see young dumb millennials still praising Socialism and Communism after 100 years of mass murders by bullet, hunger and misery. I hope they see themselves and their families in this video, learn from the realities of life, and discard the utopian dreams their loser leftists teachers have brainwashed them with in their worthless universities. It’s time for them to take the red pill, like many of their friends, get some crypto and start buying their freedom out of the system.

I guess you do what you have to in order to survive in extreme situations. As for the crazy, extremist leftist professors in the West, they should all be fired. The wave of cultural Marxism sweeping the US and Europe these days comes directly from these so-called professors.

They essentially brainwash kids while getting them deeper into debt. It's pretty sick when you think about it.

It's really sad Techwizard:( Not only do they graduate heavily indebted with useless degrees. The get educated into becoming unemployable whiny losers so they can be easily controlled. Young graduates are in dire need of Financial education and Liberty education.

This is a sad reality of my country now, thank for charing your opinion @cryptoeagle !

Wow! Nice video,,,,,,,,,,,

Your post all time is excellent post☺☺

It is a case of the many ruled by the few. No matter what the system, it always seems to end up that way. Communism was designed to be an "equal" system when ended up being, in the Soviet Union, the most murderous form of government ever. Even today, Russia is run by the few at the top while the rest suffer.

Venezuela is just a more extreme case of that. Same with North Korea....And Cuba....you have one leader with his inner circle...the country's wealth basically becomes theirs. The rest are starved to death..literally.

Sadly, the US is moving in that direction. It appears capitalism's end game is the same...all the eggs end up in a few hands. Perhaps it is simply a part of human nature, no matter what the system of government is....the few who amass the wealth have the connections to insulate them from losing said wealth from competition.

That is why a decentralized system is so exciting. It appears human benevolence truly doesnt exist on a large scale with people ending up being exploited. Government itself is the problem...not the system chosen, not the people in there...the fact that government exists. We need a new model of commerce, money, contracts, leadership...hopefully the blockchain can go a long way in doing this.

Such a great explanation! It's all about Government vs Individual, Tyranny vs Freedom. Like you say "Government itself is the problem". Let's hope blockchain can push humanity forward before we all destroy each other. I'm an optimist because I've seen Governments trying to outright kill decentralized networks before and they always fail so Bitcoin will very likely not be any different.

Want a radical thought my friend.

I dont know how long it will take but I believe the nation-state is in the process of starting its demise. We are entering an age where national borders really mean nothing. Of course, this was always the case for the bankers and now multi-national corps. But, soon, the average person will operate in this manner too.

The idea of living according to a model that was designed hundreds of years ago and where the value was in physical control. Now the physical stuff is secondary. More of life is going digital and hence we will operate under those rules.

Nice post keep it up!

Nice video

"This is not real socialism"

All types of socialism lead to the Road to Serfdom described by F. Hayek, poverty, hunger and Totalitarianism are always the end result.

@cryptoeagle and more when operated by people that don't care about other people, just to enrich themselves. Upvoted your comment. @gold84

good post..!

@cryptoeagle in general I dont think the problem is with the systems, if they are left, center or right hand. I think the problem is people that are in power and their ideologies, their actions are what make a system corrupted. I agree with you in that crypto is a safe heaven to get out of the system, and buy our future freedom. Upvoted. @gold84

you just made a nice video...

Worst thing we have two choices:

  1. Destruction of currency, and effects like on this movie
  2. war...

it is 3'rd solucion... building awareness about this sick system, and go into crypto - system better for everyone.

great job!
