How Socialism Devastated My Country
b'
FEEcast welcomes freedom activist Jorge A. Jraissati, a recent \\xe9migr\\xe9 to America from Venezuela, which is suffering a horrific economic and humanitarian crisis. In a recent video, HBO\\u2019s John Oliver, sitting in a market economy\\u2019s lap of luxury, insisted that socialism is not to blame for Venezuela\\u2019s plight. But Jraissati, who actually lived through Venezuela\\u2019s nightmare, begs to differ. He explains how socialist ideology and big government policies plunged his once-prosperous country into the depths of hunger and chaos.
