What is it like to grow up in a communist venezuela? And the current situation of the same.

Hugo Rafael Chávez Frías was a Venezuelan politician and military president of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela from February 2, 1999 until his death in 2013. He was also the leader of the Fifth Republic Movement since Its founding in 1997 until 2007, when it merged with other parties to create the United Socialist Party of Venezuela (PSUV), which ran until 2012.
You wonder how this man managed to position himself in power at that time, before he was in command Carlos Andres Perez, Venezuela suffered corruption and was going through difficult times for which the people were accustomed, Chavez decides to give a coup Carlos for the same thing (The Caracazo), ended up failing, there were multiple victims at that time, innocent people who fell down in these protests, in a military-civil coup in 1992.
For that time Chavez gradually managed to make a name in politics, based on promises and big plans for the country, the people end up in love with the revolutionary and obviously voting for him, in his mandate there were too many contradictions, for example , Said that he wanted to ally with the private companies but years later, he created the expropriation, a term to rob many companies of emigrants and not pay them for the goods removed, Chavez in turn was responsible to create resentment of the poor to the rich, saying Things like "being rich is bad" but he and his family, who were very humble, bought very expensive things and traveled abroad regularly, he created an internal social problem, and triggered anarchy in the Caribbean country, or for his Death in 2013 by means of traps Nicolás Maduro is "elect" president of the nation.

And it is there where this boom called socialism finally explodes, at this time our country has gone through hunger due to shortages, as there are no companies that produce either because it was expropriated or by the government not sell the dollars to it to buy What is necessary to manufacture the products, the people end up going through problems, drug trafficking by the family of Cilia Flores who is the president's spouse, corruption from the civilian who makes endless queues to buy food, medicines or hygiene products and resell them to the 1000% of its original value, passing through police and military that market weapons, drugs and necessities until reaching the politicians and the presidential family, with a line of drug trafficking and murder, deploying the national armed force to assassinate the Protestant And thus stop the pressure.

To this date, I did not know any other system, my family came here in 1951 from Lithuania and the maternal one from Italy, but I never understood why to create hatred among the civilians or why Chavez was not taken away knowing that it was a Bomb that would explode in this same and allowing Maduro to take the power like successor, many foreigners came and remain in the country because it was prosperous and friendly with anyone who came to the same, beautiful beaches taken of dream, green mountains with fresh drinking water, Golden plains, we stopped with sweet and accommodating people of European descent, plains with a cultural wealth and people ready to feed any traveler in exchange for a conversation, forests, gold, silver, diamonds, oil, chocolate and coffee were our hallmark Now what do we have left ?, 16 girls sold in streets of dirty cities for the equivalent of 2.5 dollars, children who learn to steal and smoke before writing, a deep Or hatred between one party and another, violent protests with even more violent reprimands, a precarious health and education system, I do not know about politics, but I have eyes and a strong feeling of what is fair and what is not, what I I see that neither the opposition wants them out, nor do they want to leave, both are enriched and seem to want to explode a civil war, meanwhile the average Venezuelan goes hungry, impoverishes, corrodes and is forced to be a victimizer for not Being the victim, the homeland prostituted and being raped in our face our beloved Venezuela, I can only say.
Save who can and who God will protect us.
