I see that socialism is working as well as can be expected for Venezuela

 

Just saw this on the Guido Fawkes site. It seems that in an effort to alleviate the starvation caused by the lunatic socialist policies of not one but two left wing dictators the Government of Venezuela is having a ‘rabbit drive’. The Venezuelan government is trying to persuade its citizens not to see rabbits as cute pets but instead as a valuable protein source.

Here’s the Guido piece in question:

Over the summer disturbing reports out of Venezuela told how starving citizens were being forced to steal animals from the country’s zoos to survive. Boars, buffalo and tapirs were pillaged by desperate victims of Corbyn’s socialist paradise, leaving concerned animal lovers worldwide wondering whether it would be pandas, meerkats, koalas or giraffes next on the menu. To stave off the bout of critter kidnappings Venezuela’s agriculture minister has now unveiled the government’s new “Rabbit Plan”, ordering the nation to breed hundreds of thousands of unsuspecting bunnies – and then eat them. During a televised broadcast alongside Jezza’s comrade Nicolas Maduro, minister Freddy Bernal told Venezuelans they should not see the big-eared burrowing creatures as “cute pets”.

“There is a cultural problem because we have been taught that rabbits are cute pets. A rabbit is not a pet; it’s two and a half kilos of meat that is high in protein, with no cholesterol.”

Somehow with each revelation from Venezuela about the socialist mismanagement I feel less and less enamoured of Comrade Corbyn’s economic policy, bearing in mind that Corbyn desires the sort of command economy that has turned Venezuela into a basket case. If you ever wondered what Britain would look like under Corbyn, just look at Venezuela and you will have some idea as to what we would end up like.
