Rockafellow?I understand that it feels better to say it that way, but Venezuela is not a communist country. It is a capitalist/socailist country quite possibly on the brink of dictatorship. As for Russia, it is even less communist than you think Venezuela is. Both countries offer free enterprise. Both countries allow their citizens to come and go as they please. Although it should be said, China does run its country that way, somewhat. Mock elections in Venezuela, Russia, sure, the cracking down of dissent, sure, but all that is dictatorship. And very much what Donald Trump would want for himself. Communism, no. Dictatorship, yes. Officially, however, capitalist/socialist. And it is what the poorest and even the richest European countries are, Canada, Australia, and even the United States on a smaller scale.
