North Korea is where oligarchical collectivism — a.k.a. socialism — has been taken to possibly the farthest extreme of any existing country. Yet even though the inmates of this slave state are sometimes reduced to eating grass and bark, they have not all starved yet. In part this is due to handouts from the capitalist […]

Venezuela has officially reached end stage socialism. That means forced labor: Don’t tell socialist Bernie Sanders, but in socialist Venezuela, where the inflation rate is forecast to top 700 per cent, the economy is expected to decrease by 10% this year, and the country’s ports have come under army control, laws established by the government […]

Students of history knew how it would end. Under his successor, Venezuela is approaching […]

It might seem that the triumph of statism would at least be good for people who are employed as guardians of the state. But in the end it works out poorly for everyone.
