I’d accuse them of reading this site, but it really is the best descriptor:
The situation in Venezuela has been steadily declining in the past couple of years, but in the past few weeks, it has become so dire and disturbing that scenes coming out of the socialist country are said to mirror the apocalypse.
News reports have surfaced of people having to eat their own pets in order to survive, due to a lack of food in the country.Currently, 75 percent of Venezuelans live in poverty, a stunning increase from the 25 percent rate just two years ago…
All of the political infighting within the country has overshadowed the dire situation that the people of Venezuela find themselves in. Local pharmacies and supermarket shelves have been looted and depleted. Meanwhile, the stores that still have food and medicine have lines that go on for days. Food rationing only allows individuals to go to the supermarkets on certain days dictated by government-issued IDs. The government is incapable of providing for the most basic human needs.

Some thoughts. One, the problem is that human populations grow far beyond the raw environment’s carrying capacity when you introduce the synergy of cooperative production. When you turn a population r, you destroy that cooperative production. Suddenly you have a population in a city that is so far overpopulated that mortality is almost inevitable, even with today’s technology. Under those conditions, where the choice is pillage for scraps or die, even the most civilized will try to survive. That is the seed of Apocalypse, and there is no soil it will not take root in if resources are scarce enough.
Two, Venezuela is a situation which now would be best fixed by natural selection. If government pulled the plug there, a lot of rabbits would die. But once they were removed from the equation, and only the self-sufficient remained, you would see a productive, happy civilization rise again. Until then, with government giving the rabbits the hope of a free-resource-utopia, things will only deteriorate further. The rabbits are entirely the problem.
Three, think how much denser the populations are in our cities, how much more food needs to be shuttled in along predictable routes, how far more heavily armed we are, and how much more hogtied our police are by the leftist idiots. Imagine the massive disparity in the violence-capability of a leftist hipster, and your average street gang. I even think about how dependent our food supply is on the complex distribution machinery of Big Agra to get fertilizer, weed killer, insecticides, fungicides, medicaments, and all the other requirements of today’s big agra operations. People who don’t raise living things in incredibly high densities have no idea how quickly everything can die, if not propped up by a plethora of modern scientific marvels at every step. What will happen in the first few months if Big Agra goes bankrupt and shuts down operations?
When ITZ hits in America, it will get real for the cities, and anywhere nearby. ITZ is a ways off, but planning now would be wise.
…mortality is almost inevitable…

“The inherent vice of capitalism is the unequal sharing of blessings. The inherent virtue of Socialism is the equal sharing of miseries.” — Winston Churchill, House of Commons, 22 October 1945
Seems like Socialism also maximizes misery, at least compared to capitalism.
I was expecting ‘anarchy’ but, po-tay-to, po-tah-to.
