Venezuela, the political struggle continues

in politics •  7 years ago 

I would think that the situation in Venezuela is complex but seems to have come out of a poor economic view on the part of the government. No country or community for that matter can thrive in the long term on borrowed monies. I understand that Venezuela is one of the countries with the highest oil reserves but this has not benefited the general public. I believe that a countries resources are all belong to the people of that country and the profits from them should be shared by all in some proportion. Of course this requires a government that is for the people and not for a preferred few elites. Democracies in general only benefit the general public for relatively few decades. After a while a small group figures out how to use the so-called democratic process to benefit the small group at the detriment of the general public. In some cases the small group can use their power to please or promote fear in enough of the general public to remain in power. In such cases a revolution may be the only way to change the situation for the benefit of all. Wisdom and much prayer is called for on those who would dare to begin a revolution. My prayer for Venezuelans is that God would raise up a man of God full of wisdom and the Holy Spirit to rally the people towards a better future.
