WATCH: Venezuelan Children Fight Over Bananas Just to Avoid Starvation Thanks to Socialism
“The children of #Venezuela no longer dream of piñatas and sweets, their reality is to fight among themselves and against adults for leftovers of bananas in order to survive,” Cristian Crespo tweeted today. Accompanying his message was a horrendous video out of the country torn apart by the devastating effects of socialism.
Los niños de #Venezuela ya no sueñan con piñatas y dulces, su realidad es luchar entre ellos y contra los adultos por sobras de bananas (cambur) para poder sobrevivir. @mbachelet @UNICEFenEspanol @Pontifex_es pic.twitter.com/y4srpZ79fH

Professor Steve Hanke, an economics professor at Johns Hopkins as well as a senior fellow at Cato, pointedly commented, “A tragic scene out of the #socialist, horror movie. It’s real. It’s a documentary from the socialist paradise of #Venezuela.”
