About this Episode

How did Venezuela go from a promising prosperous country to a nightmare dictatorship? The answer is simple: SOCIALISM. Venezuela had all the potential. It is the perfect example of why socialism destroys everything it touches, and why we should fully reject it on our soil as Americans.

With the recent capture of Nicolas Maduro, it is the perfect time to dive deeper into Venezuela to better understand all of the current events.

In this episode of Restoring America with Grace Reilly, we will explore how socialism ruined the country and caused starvation, economic collapse, and a mass exodus.
