Topic	Another victory for Socialism! Maduro becomes dictator of Venezuela
Sephiroth1288 07/31/17 3:16:28 PM #1:	https://www.reuters.com/article/us-venezuela-politics-idUSKBN1AG0N0?il=0 Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro on Monday celebrated the election of a new legislative superbody that is expected to give the ruling Socialist Party sweeping powers and mocked U.S. criticism that the vote was an affront to democracy. At least 10 people were killed on Sunday in protests against the unpopular Maduro, who insists the new body known as the constituent assembly will bring peace after four months of protests that have killed more than 120 people. Opposition parties sat out the election, saying it was rigged to increase Maduro's powers. They decried the vote as a fraud and called on supporters to protest again as of midday. Countries across the Americas, as well as the European Union, denounced the creation of the assembly, which will have the power to rewrite the constitution. The United States - the top market for the OPEC nation's oil - called the vote a sham, and officials in Washington said they were preparing oil-sector sanctions. "A spokesperson for emperor Donald Trump said that they would not recognize the results of Venezuela's constituent assembly election," Maduro told a crowd of cheering supporters following the completion of the vote. Turns out, when you give the government control of basically everything, the people who control the government have an easier time of taking that power for themselves. Ho-ly shit, how many times does this need to happen before people get that socialism is a fucking horrible concept? --- The person who writes for fools is always sure of a large audience.
