British "Socialist" former Mayor of London's Explaination of Venezuela's problem

Post by gclayjr »

Ken Livingston, former mayor of London has figured out what went wrong with Venezuela
One of the things that Chávez did when he came to power, he didn’t kill all the oligarchs. There was about 200 families who controlled about 80% of the wealth in Venezuela,” Livingstone told Talk Radio
When push comes to shove, Socialist always resort to violence. If you read the article, he wasn't speaking metaphorically. THe solution to the oligarch problem is to "kill them"... or any body else who doesn't peacefully submit.... sort of like Islam

Livingston is an idiot.
He's even been expelled from the Labour Party.

Robin Hood,

I guess, I could comment on what idiots Londoners were for electing him, but then I look at some of the idiots we elect, and think that that would be the pot calling the kettle black :)

Robin Hood.

You may or may not be right as to whether Livingstone is an idiot, or represents the Labour party, but Corbyn is its leader.
Despite pressure on him to distance himself from earlier comments backing the socialist leader, Mr Corbyn refused to attack the regime which has arrested opposition leaders after amid days of civil unrest.
