Venezuelan media Telesur has been scrubbed from Facebook and Search Engines along with conspiracy theorist douchebag Alex Jones (who still has first amendment rights). The left will only realise what censorship means when it is aimed at them and it didn't take that long in Venezuela.
While I no longer identify with any (left/right) ideology that doesn't tackle which private interests print money and lend to government while charging interest (through taxation), I cannot in good conscience listen to the the capitalist vultures blaming socialism for all of Venezuela's ills.
I have long nuanced positions on public vs private money implementation/investment, and each case is contextual. I have however been forced to recognise the final outcome of letting groupthink permit a ruling elite to spend the proletariat's money for them.
That has resulted in the genocide of hundreds of millions in China and the USSR and indeed around the world.
Only an unconscionable person would sweep that under the carpet.
