This is what America will look like if Tricord and his ilk get their way. I wonder who they will blame when their utopia fails just like all the other socialist utopias have failed? Of course the answer will be, and it always is, "we didn't go far enough." They just keep digging that hole and wondering why it's getting deeper.....

Democratic National Committee Chair Tom Perez and Sen. Bernie Sanders (I., Vt.) continue their “Come Together, Fight Back” tour tonight with a 7 p.m. show at Miami’s James L. Knight Center. This column noted on Monday that while Mr. Sanders was last year’s Democratic insurgent, he’s now being embraced as a leader by the party’s most senior executive. Miami voters considering whether they too should embrace the socialist Vermonter and his expected message of “political revolution” might first wish to observe what’s happening right now roughly 1,400 miles to the southeast.

Tens of thousands of Venezuelans march against Maduro
CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) — Opponents of President Nicolas Maduro flooded the streets of Caracas Wednesday for what they've dubbed the "mother of all marches" against the embattled

Venezuelans living through their own socialist political revolution appear to have decided they’ve had quite enough of it. Reuters reports today that “Venezuelan security forces fired tear gas as demonstrators staged what they billed as the ‘mother of all marches’ against President Nicolas Maduro.” Reuters adds, “Opposition supporters protested in Caracas and other cities, denouncing Maduro for eroding democracy and plunging the economy into chaos.”
On Tuesday night in Kentucky, the Socialist Mr. Sanders said Democrats need to go beyond their “zone of comfort” to promote their agenda.
Venezuelans have by now learned all about leaving their zone of comfort. On Monday the Journal’s Mary Anastasia O’Grady noted that the Maduro government “is running out of money to buy imports, and since it has crippled domestic production, privation is growing more profound.”

Caracas international airport...not even a place in the stall to hang a roll of toilet paper, if they had one
3:34 PM - 17 Apr 2017
Reuters reports today that “Carlos Moreno, 18, a student, was on his way to play soccer in Caracas and did not plan to take part in the demonstration when government supporters approached an opposition gathering and fired shots, according to witnesses and a family member. Moreno was shot in the head, they said.”
In Venezuela, resisting the socialist government takes a bit more courage than simply knitting a hat. Ms. O’Grady wrote on Monday:
So far this month pro-government militias or the police have allegedly killed three protesters in and around Barquisimeto, the capital city of Lara state. A demonstrator was fatally shot in Valencia—the third largest city in the country—and the governor of Carabobo state has admitted that the police were responsible. Another young protester was killed in a satellite city of Caracas, and an 87-year-old Caracas woman died when tear gas inundated her home.
Ms. O’Grady added that roving “bands of government-sponsored militias terrorize civil society.”
But protesters seem increasingly unwilling to be intimidated. “It’s time to stop being poor and hungry. I’m going to stay in the streets until we get rid of this government,” 21-year-old graphic designer Rolisber Aguirre told the Associated Press last week.
The news from down south gives American voters an opportunity to consider just how revolutionary they want their leaders to be.
