Obviously you have never known anyone who fled these totalitarian, torturous regimes.

"...What do 70,000 unsolved murders look like? That’s what Venezuelans tried to show today in a unique and passionate protest in Caracas.

The most visible legacy of Hugo Chavez’s regime is murder. As the entire governmental infrastructure becomes politicized, one hard hit section is the police. Bad cops, so long as they are Chavistically loyal, are the ones hired, while the ethical cops get thrown out. Not only that, the government is focusing its resources on prosecuting political, not criminal, cases. That leaves the cops who could make a difference out of luck.

Lastly, Chavez encourages lawlessness, telling people that to steal is all right, so long as it is for food. It doesn’t take long for a slippery slope to come down when the government itself endorses theft against private property. Like the Argentine Dirty War generals, whose attack on private property rapidly became mass murder and then an invasion of other lands, the Chavista slippery slope has rapidly advanced.

Crime is out of control in Caracas. One neighborhood, that’s right, neighborhood, I visited in Caracas, called Catia, had 563 unsolved murders in one year. More than one a day in one barrio!

People are fed up. Little different from the legacy of Fidel Castro, Chavismo’s consolidation of power is being accompanied by an orgy of murder.
Venezuelans are taking to the streets in their thousands to stop it....."
