It costs less than USD 1. 00 for 3 Kilos of filleted sardines. You have to be a proper idiot if you can't afford that. Venezuela is full of idiots. Especially male idiots who live for pay day on Friday to buy their rum and coke.
@@AndrooUK And almost for free from the Maduro government. The CLAP box of groceries is sold below cost price to anyone who needs help from the government.
At least that poor starving guy kept a sense of humor. Personally, I am fighting with my neighbors and the township to keep my backyard garden here in the USA. If only these ignoramuses knew what is coming here. The ones who are complaining about me now, are the same ones who will be stealing my vegetables later, I am sure.
The government already decides what's best for you. Try not paying your taxes & we will see what happens to you. But your Mr free capitalist I guess LOL
Yup. I was there. It wasn't quite THIS bad, but it was more the same thing. The "solidarity bag" is basically starvation rations. 1 kg of rice is ~4000 calories 1 kg of beans is ~3000 calories The other stuff might add another ~3000 to be generous. That means that your "bag" has less than a week of nutrition for an adult to stay healthy.
Should be called 'Maduro/His government loyalty bags'. That is truly pathetic that people will take, out of desperation that small amount ,sign up for loyalty, just to not slowly starve to death. Maduro should be tried for Crimes Against Humanity on his own people. In no way am I faulting 100% the average decent Venezuelan.
@@pwrserge83 Nah - I do recall supermarkets not having some goods, like sugar - so we had stamps for sugar rations. And queues - one thing soviet union was known for is long queues, something that the west experiences only when a new star wars or iphone comes out - haha. Otherwise though - seriously, I don't recall people starving in the soviet union. Some goods for missing, yes - so they were rationed by the government. Otherwise, as far as surviving is concerned, there was enough food to survive - even in the worst of times. During blockade... it was much worse. I keep thinking that Venezuela is actually closer to the blockade phase, given the western sanctions. Now you have this aid fiasco - where opposition smartly says, if aid gets in, we'll proclaim the government lost control of its borders and is no longer in power. If the aid doesn't get through, we'll proclaim the government is starving its own people. Western sanctions were imposed using the exact same logic. We'll stop all good shipments/us currency - and then proclaim that the government is starving its own people. Fascinating stuff.
Capitalism is merely the voluntary exchange of goods and services between two consenting people. Anything else is coercion at the barrel of a gun.. you socialists can take your social contract and shove it up your ass.

I didn't know there were two types of bolivar. I'm sorry to hear this. I think it's really sad that the "ordinary media" doesn't cover important news like these. Again, I'm sorry that you are hungry and don't have food. Hang in there Gerardo...
Not socialism that did this. Look at Sweden and Denmark, they arn't going out and getting fish heads for dinner. This same kind of shit happens in Paraguay, and it's capitalist. There is more that has to do with poverty than the economic system.
The food shortages is caused by price controls from the government, it's as simple as that. What the government has done is that they have price fixed the price of food and they have set to low prices. They think this is good because then everyone can afford food, but what happens in reality is that no one will produce food since you can't make a profit producing food anymore. The result is that people are starving instead since no food is produced. This is classic and if you had studied history you would know that this has happened so many times before. Many other communist countries in the past have tried the same thing with the same devestatting results. Open a history book and read about Mao Zedong and China, or Sovjet for that matter, maybe you will learn something. This is indeed socialism/communisms fault. You should never price fix the price of a commodity, the market should decide the price because then it will not be to low or to high, it will be just right which is very important or else it will cause devestating problems in the economy. Let's say they price fixed the price to high, then everyone would also starv since no one could afford the food. That's why you shouldn't price fix at all, because you will always get it wrong. The market should decide the price, because then the right "true price" will be discoverd by the market. The market will find the equlibriium price which will benefit both producers and consumers at the same time. Do you understand?
Three Caracas residents show us what they've been able to find amidst Venezuela's ongoing food crisis. Watch "Blackout: Venezuela's Activist Journalists” - bit.ly/28SjEcD
Well there you have it, socialism and fascism in a nutshell when the people running it are incompetent fools. Power of the people, when your top Septic Service man becomes a high government official lol!
Anyone who still asks, "Why do Americans need guns?" This is why. Because we will not allow socialism/communism to destroy our freedoms and enslave our people. This is a perfect example of Democratic Socialism! Yes! All socialism is the same, and all socialism leads to COMMUNISM! And then democide!
Venezuela is rated as no.22, and 1 in 5 citizens holds a firearm legally, with around 2 millions firearms illegaly owned. Venezuela is one of the foremost countries with firearms crimes. Also, its rather a Dictatorship / Oligarchy country rulled by populists with failed oil addicted economy. Liberal conservatism can lead to genocide also, like in India in 1942, or recen "war on drugs" in Latin america
jdmcommute Do you realize you don´t need guns for that? we protested with hour flags and chants, they shot us anyway. Unarmed people died... do you think a dictatorial government gives a fuck?
'In Nicaragua, people line up for food. That's a good thing. In the U.S., the rich get all the food and the poor starve to death. In Nicaragua, people aren't starving to death.' -Bernie Sanders
If you are asserting that the CIA is proping up Maduro's communist government and it is that communist government that is bleeding dry the last wealth venezuala has than that is one thing.. but I assume you are not. No foreign countirs are the blame for the state of Venezualas affairs. Socialist policies and controls / regulations are the culprit of Venezualas struggles..
"If you're not a Socialist Party member they starve you" That's the antithesis of socialism. This problem was caused by centuries of unequal distribution, cronyism and corruption, which has been endemic throughout Latin America irrespective of what political paradigm they adhere to, and putting all their eggs in one basket and counting on oil to fill their coffers.
We don't (Most of us). If you're going to call us ignorant (not blatantly, but passively), then don't be ignorant yourself in generalizing a country that has 320 million people. Not all Americans believe that this is the result of socialism. This is the result of poor governing and management of assets, such as food and money. Most Americans are aware that there are socialist ideals already implemented within out government, and most want more socialistic ideals as it creates equality, that's what socialism is about, co-ownership and cooperation in the handling of goods and assets. The result of socialism relies solely on the publics willingness to adopt said principals and whether or not the government is stupid enough to not be able to implement said policies and govern them accordingly. Please, don't be a hypocrite.
***** I agree with you and i apologize for my words. I did not mean all americans, but all (=most) americans in this comment section. I should have clarified that. However judging by the current presidential race and previous implemintations of socialist ideas, i would say that people who understand socialism and its benefits are absolutely in the minority.
You lost the game No harm no foul. I was in a bad mood last night anyways so all is forgiven, lol. I agree that a lot of Americans are clueless as to what's actually going on in the race, that's the thing that sucks because people who do understand what's going on get fucked over. I apologize for my words as well. People who understand the differences between socialism and other forms of government are certainly the minority.
Caleb Rodregez Not surprised you took the "racism" route instead of the economical. Ok, I'll play along. Name one thing that resembles Trump to being a neo nazi. Let's have some fun
This socialist government isn't REAL socialism. My specific, special brand of TRUE socialism will totally work! Never mind all of these failed so called socialist states...they didn't follow MY brand of socialism so they weren't true socialists.
J Mulc They are distributing supplies to the socialist party to hand out to citizens. This isn't socialism at all. Nope, disregard everything about them and you will see they aren't actually socialists.
Ryan Chang Socialism is a mode of production with the power in the hands of the workers, for workers. There is no power in Venezuelans in the distribution of goods or services, the power is in the hands of elites who have failed to provide for its people. Like I said, totalitarianism. Try again.
J Mulc Two major blocs of political parties are in Venezuela: the incumbent leftist bloc United Socialist Party of Venezuela (PSUV), its major allies Fatherland for All (PPT) and the Communist Party of Venezuela (PCV). The people there elected socialist governments. Yet it somehow sill isn't a socialist country.
I'm surprised that there are no street stalls selling produce. They are all dependent on the grocery store. This not a knock on the Venezuelan diet, thier diet is too specialized and maybe a little too rich with high processed food. As an Asian, the man saying that the fish head was for the dogs to eat kind of tells it all. Venezuela used to a rich country eating rich oily that has a lot of animal proteins. My parents home are from a poorer country in southeast Asia where leafy greens, rats and insects are in the diet. I think for the short run and maybe the long run, they should go for fast growing and low energy foods like mustard greens, native Venezuelan vegetables and if they're up to it, the low level animal proteins (insects, smaller animals, and common "jungle" meat instead of the highly processed foods like fruit juices, milk, white flour)
All in all, I have to say that socialism is working exactly like it was meant to. Now if they had just voted to have socialism it would be democratic socialism. Then things would be totally different.
I'm just going to add that he's saying that that food wasn't cheap. Here in New York state just the one bell pepper is $1.65 usd and The bananas are about $50 a piece.
"no offense to the dogs"

If America elects another leftist we are definitely on our way. Detroit is a perfect example. Chicago is not far behind...
By the way,every American should own an ar-15. Its not about gun control. Firearms are glorified power tools that's it. The problem is Islam.
Stand with trump.
That's why I don't vote for them
Trump lol, I almost feel bad for him at this point, it's going to be a landslide for Hillary.
NmE * Bet
I think a few of the Euro nations want this style, The poor flat broke and rich just getting richer.
this is what Bernie supporters want.
Truuuuuuu
what is 'this' and generalizing an entire group you know nothing about is a failure. I recommend education, we have the technology and are using it right now.
Bernie is an anarchist not a totalitarian.
The world's governments never cared about it's people. Humanity needs to stand as one against tyrannical governments!

CORNFLAKES
Massive JACKPORT for the 21st century socialism..
HOW PROGRESSIVE SOCIALISM IS !!!!
"Fish carps that used to be only for dogs"
"No offense to dogs"
This is a really good video. A preview of what all of the world will soon experience.
Not socialism that did this. Look at Sweden and Denmark, they arn't going out and getting fish heads for dinner. This same kind of shit happens in Paraguay, and it's capitalist. There is more that has to do with poverty than the economic system.
you're a moron!
The One How? If you are going to call me that, tell me where you disagree. Give me something to work with lol.
The food shortages is caused by price controls from the government, it's as simple as that. What the government has done is that they have price fixed the price of food and they have set to low prices. They think this is good because then everyone can afford food, but what happens in reality is that no one will produce food since you can't make a profit producing food anymore. The result is that people are starving instead since no food is produced. This is classic and if you had studied history you would know that this has happened so many times before. Many other communist countries in the past have tried the same thing with the same devestatting results. Open a history book and read about Mao Zedong and China, or Sovjet for that matter, maybe you will learn something. This is indeed socialism/communisms fault. You should never price fix the price of a commodity, the market should decide the price because then it will not be to low or to high, it will be just right which is very important or else it will cause devestating problems in the economy. Let's say they price fixed the price to high, then everyone would also starv since no one could afford the food. That's why you shouldn't price fix at all, because you will always get it wrong. The market should decide the price, because then the right "true price" will be discoverd by the market. The market will find the equlibriium price which will benefit both producers and consumers at the same time. Do you understand?
During the election, the Danish were telling bernie to shut up about socialism because theyre not socialist.
Maduro sure doesn't look like he's starving...
"He need some milk!" But seriously, that is a bit sad.
the guy with the blue shirt i like him "no offence to dogs" haha
Three Caracas residents show us what they've been able to find amidst Venezuela's ongoing food crisis.
Watch "Blackout: Venezuela's Activist Journalists” - bit.ly/28SjEcD
Well there you have it, socialism and fascism in a nutshell when the people running it are incompetent fools. Power of the people, when your top Septic Service man becomes a high government official lol!
Anyone who still asks, "Why do Americans need guns?" This is why. Because we will not allow socialism/communism to destroy our freedoms and enslave our people. This is a perfect example of Democratic Socialism! Yes! All socialism is the same, and all socialism leads to COMMUNISM! And then democide!
that is such a stupid thing to say, IF the us government is against you, and you start a war with them , they will end you in 5 minutes.
Venezuela is rated as no.22, and 1 in 5 citizens holds a firearm legally, with around 2 millions firearms illegaly owned. Venezuela is one of the foremost countries with firearms crimes.
Also, its rather a Dictatorship / Oligarchy country rulled by populists with failed oil addicted economy.
Liberal conservatism can lead to genocide also, like in India in 1942, or recen "war on drugs" in Latin america
jdmcommute Do you realize you don´t need guns for that? we protested with hour flags and chants, they shot us anyway. Unarmed people died... do you think a dictatorial government gives a fuck?
Exquisite foods? Oh maybe some nice ball of mozzarella? Some caviar? A nice slice of steak?
cornflakes.
Aight. I'mma head out
Good ol' Socialism doing what it does best.
SOS VENEZUELA 😭😭♥️ I love my country
Venezuela, a country I think about so little that I didn't realize they were socialist
Thanks so much for posting :)
Aaah good old socialism
'In Nicaragua, people line up for food. That's a good thing. In the U.S., the rich get all the food and the poor starve to death. In Nicaragua, people aren't starving to death.' -Bernie Sanders
It is amazing to see how people shop in Bernie Sanders Land!
When your food distribution system has the same name as an STD....you know you're fucked.
CIA checklis for 21st Century South America. Honduras-done, Argentina-done, Brazil-done, Venezuela-soon
Cuba-failed; Notes: Kill the Castro brothers
Hahahha
what did the CIA do in Honduras though?
If you are asserting that the CIA is proping up Maduro's communist government and it is that communist government that is bleeding dry the last wealth venezuala has than that is one thing.. but I assume you are not.
No foreign countirs are the blame for the state of Venezualas affairs. Socialist policies and controls / regulations are the culprit of Venezualas struggles..

the last guy kept it real lmao
"No offense to dogs" that made me laugh. Such a messed up situation
thank god for everything i had makes me greatful for what i have
This is what socialism looks like.
No, it doesn't. This isn't socialism, if you don't know anything about Venezuela's history please shut the fuck up.
+Unshaved Malevolence it is Socialist. No true scotsman fallacy much?
Those lines look like a COVID19 free food dispensary.
FEEL THE BERN!
Why do Americans think that this is the result of Socialism? And why do they think that their country doesnt have any socialism?
"If you're not a Socialist Party member they starve you" That's the antithesis of socialism. This problem was caused by centuries of unequal distribution, cronyism and corruption, which has been endemic throughout Latin America irrespective of what political paradigm they adhere to, and putting all their eggs in one basket and counting on oil to fill their coffers.
Because they call themselves socialists.
We don't (Most of us). If you're going to call us ignorant (not blatantly, but passively), then don't be ignorant yourself in generalizing a country that has 320 million people. Not all Americans believe that this is the result of socialism. This is the result of poor governing and management of assets, such as food and money. Most Americans are aware that there are socialist ideals already implemented within out government, and most want more socialistic ideals as it creates equality, that's what socialism is about, co-ownership and cooperation in the handling of goods and assets. The result of socialism relies solely on the publics willingness to adopt said principals and whether or not the government is stupid enough to not be able to implement said policies and govern them accordingly. Please, don't be a hypocrite.
***** I agree with you and i apologize for my words. I did not mean all americans, but all (=most) americans in this comment section. I should have clarified that.
However judging by the current presidential race and previous implemintations of socialist ideas, i would say that people who understand socialism and its benefits are absolutely in the minority.
You lost the game No harm no foul. I was in a bad mood last night anyways so all is forgiven, lol. I agree that a lot of Americans are clueless as to what's actually going on in the race, that's the thing that sucks because people who do understand what's going on get fucked over. I apologize for my words as well. People who understand the differences between socialism and other forms of government are certainly the minority.
que tristeza lo que esta pasando en Venezuela:( terrible
Socialism at its finest
Maduro diet crack me up lol hahah
It's a good thing Bernard Sanders lost the race.
I got a Joe Biden ad before and after this video. Yeah I don't want to eat fish heads.
That country is dying.
Wait until trumps comes to America...
Yeah I doubt that.. Trump isn't a socialist
+Mo B my country is America -_- and if Donald trump is leader it will change to Mexico
+Ranger Ambient but closely resembles a neo nazi and will probably turn america into a land of fighting, hate and corruption
Caleb Rodregez Not surprised you took the "racism" route instead of the economical. Ok, I'll play along. Name one thing that resembles Trump to being a neo nazi. Let's have some fun
"La dieta de maduro". As a bilingual Latino, that four words hit really hard on me.
This is bernies promised land.
the people Venezuela especially its children deserve better
Redistribution of fish heads. That's what happens when you run out of other peoples money and only the powerful and their friends eat like kings.
They need to be careful so they don't end up getting arrested or "disappeared"
Just waiting for ignorant comments with no understanding of socialism
This socialist government isn't REAL socialism. My specific, special brand of TRUE socialism will totally work! Never mind all of these failed so called socialist states...they didn't follow MY brand of socialism so they weren't true socialists.
Ryan Chang Except it's not socialist, but rather totalitarian. Nice try though.
J Mulc They are distributing supplies to the socialist party to hand out to citizens. This isn't socialism at all. Nope, disregard everything about them and you will see they aren't actually socialists.
Ryan Chang Socialism is a mode of production with the power in the hands of the workers, for workers. There is no power in Venezuelans in the distribution of goods or services, the power is in the hands of elites who have failed to provide for its people. Like I said, totalitarianism. Try again.
J Mulc Two major blocs of political parties are in Venezuela: the incumbent leftist bloc United Socialist Party of Venezuela (PSUV), its major allies Fatherland for All (PPT) and the Communist Party of Venezuela (PCV). The people there elected socialist governments. Yet it somehow sill isn't a socialist country.
I'm surprised that there are no street stalls selling produce. They are all dependent on the grocery store. This not a knock on the Venezuelan diet, thier diet is too specialized and maybe a little too rich with high processed food. As an Asian, the man saying that the fish head was for the dogs to eat kind of tells it all. Venezuela used to a rich country eating rich oily that has a lot of animal proteins. My parents home are from a poorer country in southeast Asia where leafy greens, rats and insects are in the diet. I think for the short run and maybe the long run, they should go for fast growing and low energy foods like mustard greens, native Venezuelan vegetables and if they're up to it, the low level animal proteins (insects, smaller animals, and common "jungle" meat instead of the highly processed foods like fruit juices, milk, white flour)
All in all, I have to say that socialism is working exactly like it was meant to. Now if they had just voted to have socialism it would be democratic socialism. Then things would be totally different.
I'm just going to add that he's saying that that food wasn't cheap. Here in New York state just the one bell pepper is $1.65 usd and The bananas are about $50 a piece.
