Say No To Libertarianism

“Vuvuzela Stinky, Socialism Bad”
This is one of the funniest one-liners reactionaries use to attack socialism and fool workers into opposing it. People assume that Venezuela was doing really well under “laissez-faire” capitalism and only got bad when “socialists” took power and enacted welfare policies; they say Venezuela turned “socialist” after the “United Socialist Party of Venezuela” took power…
