Venezuela: starving adults fight kids to grab bananas, cuz...socialism!! Yay!

There's a nation in South America--which formerly had the highest per-capita income in South America but now a "shithole nation"  because it elected a socialist (communist) leader. 

Its people are now starving.  It's so bad that years ago they killed all the zoo animals for their meat.  No, I'm not kidding.

Of course you don't believe this, cuz you never saw it on your nightly news, nor read it in the NY Times or the Washington Post.  So...can't possibly be true, right?  Must be a right-wing conspiracy, eh?

Yeah.  Well, here--by the miracle of the internet and cell phones--we have a video of Venezuelan adults fighting children to grab bananas that fell off a truck.

Fighting over...bananas.  In f'n South America, where you'd think bananas...grew on trees or sumpin'.

But don't take my word for it:  As the saying goes, "Let's roll tape!"

A tragic scene out of the #socialist, horror movie. It’s real. It’s a documentary from the socialist paradise of #Venezuela. Children & adults alike battle each other for leftover bananas necessary for their survival. #SocialismKills pic.twitter.com/mOfnNGM9OY
