Can we all agree that nothing can bring a nation down from prosperity to desperation faster than Socialism?

Venezuela as an example. Please do not cite any European countries as examples of how socialism works. All of Europe practices free-market Capitalism.

Socialism fails every time it is tried. Failure goes all the way back to the Pilgrims at Plymouth Rock in 1620. With constant oil revenues, Venezuelans should be well off. Dictators are known to rob their countries and amass fortunes.
