"A look at Venezuela where Maduro hit squads are now shooting people in cold blood. Here a man is dragged out his yard into the streets, then shot at point blank range. This is always the ending stage of socialism. Our future if we don't change things here." - Civil war has already begun

Oh, give it a rest, @starcrosswolf. Yes, this is terrible. No, it's not an excuse to make blanket statements about political ideologies from which you would not profit.

(And that goes for those who capitalise on pseudo-socialism, too; I'm not trying to take sides here.)

Focus on the tragedy, and how to mitigate that. Push your agendas later.

Triggered?

It is funny though. This Capitalism vs Socialism nonsenes. Both have pros and cons but there's one stereotype that's pretty constant - big government = bad. Big socialist government = bad. Big capitalist government = bad. Bad bad bad. Like Michael Jackson.

Yeah, a little. People are dying, and they're just turning it to their own advantage as always.
