Nicolas Maduro got it all wrong…

Socialism is a weird thing. It talks about the fight between social Classes, a thing that happens all the time in the third world countries. It promotes the equality and gives the state a role of serving the greater good instead of being an entity with no real power.

Some people embrace it as the fight for freedom and justice; some others paint it like the Devil and other like me judge it with a very skeptic mentality… and the only conclusion that I can get is… there is nothing wrong with it.

Yes, if you think about it, the Socialism actually can work in theory. You can create a world where everybody has the same rights and help each other in order to survive. But, the real problem and pretty much the same reason of why failed during the cold war is that human beings are selfish, lazy and careless creatures who have different needs and political thoughts that put the individual freedom over the equality… and there’s nothing wrong with that either.

So, why am I making all these talk about politics? Hell, I don’t consider myself a political expert and a lot of other people know more than me, but at least I got the idea of what freedom of speech means… a thing that the current president of Venezuela apparently doesn’t get it.

Maduro wondering if this dialogue will worth it... or it's going to be a big waste of time like what happens all the time... what do you think? 

After the departure and death of Hugo Chavez in 2013, Nicolas Maduro, the Vice-president during that time took the office after the elections in where he competed with Henrique Capriles (which is right now the main representative of the opposition) and won, the Chavez supporters saw in him a figure of great charisma the construction of a new future and the Chavez opponents considered him as the continued of an authoritarian regime that only promised more oppression and less dialogue between the Unasur (which stands for  Unions of South American Nations).

The main problem with Venezuela and the current government is the lack of understanding of both sides, I mean, in April 9^th of this year, after a series of protests about the repression on the streets the President, Capriles and the representatives of Unasur agreed to start a dialogue because the situation was turning critical for the entire country.

But it’s really hard trying to reconcile both left and right in a country with an inflation level that surpasses the 70% remove ministers and deputies for criticizing the president (like what happened to María Corina Machado), close all the news channels that opposed the government and let the military force abuse the people, like what happened to a Young student in the city of San Cristobal who was attacked by the Bolivarian army in February 4^th and triggered the protests in the country.

Other problem with Venezuela is the lack of political representation of other political groups apart from the supporters and the opponents. I mean, the news almost never talked about them and they don’t have real representation in the media. And that’s very bad because if you don’t have other political parties apart of the main two, the country polarizes and the consequences would it be devastating.

And that’s why I think Maduro got it wrong. You can’t try to apply the socialism these days because there’s always going to be disagreements between the people about who are the real oppressors, the black market and the speculation are always going to appear in places with lack of freedom. In the end, there is no real solution, and if there is, it has not been invented yet.

That’s all I have to say. Sorry of the lack of information, but I need to research a little bit more the next time, but anyway. Good Night everybody.
