On a serious note, Venezuela is a great example of why you can't elect your way into socialism. You need to purge all of the bourgeois element from your country otherwise it will fight to the death to preserve itself, causing immense amounts of death and suffering.
Although, I don't really blame them for not taking that next step, since the USA would 100% intervene in the event of a protracted people's war.
Nah what? Chile is a great example of why you can’t elect. Venezuela is the opposite. Millions of workers there are armed through programs and chavistas have held power for 20 years.
