So, in other news -- how's that socialism system of gov't working out for Venezuela? 
BTW, Venezuela under the current (2016) reign of Nicolás Maduro, is (supposedly) socialistic.
For further socialism reinforcement -- please See (wikipedia-dot-org)--
"Venezuela"
--- and ---
"Nicolás Maduro"
"Nicolas Maduro won with 50.62% of the votes as the candidate of the United Socialist Party of Venezuela."
Getting back on track.. since history is apparently being rewritten or forgotten, and thus potentially doomed to repeat itself by the ignoramuses on our little earth, here's a situation that just happened in Venezuela a few days ago..
Say whatever you want for socialistic agendas, but sometimes when basic commodities (like toilet paper!) and produce runs out, people get a bit agitated and crazy. BTW, wasn't Venezuela mentioned as one of the top 3 countries that produces OIL -- next to Saudi Arabia and Canada..? Canada is having quarter of its energy oil output shut down, because of the massive fires currently still burning in Alberta's tar sands region and possibly beyond..
That leaves Saudi Arabia as top controller..?

"Scenes From The Venezuela Apocalypse: "Countless Wounded" After 5,000 Loot Supermarket Looking For Food"

Over the last several years we have documented with clockwork regularity Venezuela's collapse into failed state status, which was cemented several weeks ago when news hit that "Venezuela had officially run out of money to print new money [6]." At that point the best one could do was merely to step back and watch as local society and civilization turned on itself, unleashing what would ultimately turn into Venezuela's own, sad apocalypse.
. . .
As we wrote [8] then these are simply hungry Venezuelans protesting that their children are dying from lack of food and medicine and that they do not have enough water or electricity. As Against Crony Capitalism added, this is a country with more oil than Saudi Arabia, and the government has stolen all the money and now they bottleneck peaceful protesters and threaten them with bombs (or haul them to prison and torture them).
. . .
According to Panampost [9], on Wednesday morning, a crowd sacked the Maracay Wholesale Market in the central region of Venezuela.
. . .
As time went by, desperate Venezuelans grew anxious over not being able to buy food. Then they started jumping over the gates and stormed the supermarket.
"They took milk, pasta, flour, oil, and milk powder. There were 5,000 people" one witness told Venezuela outlet El Estímulo.
People from across the entire state came to the supermarket because there were rumors that some products not found anywhere else would be sold there.
As a result of the massive crowd, the authorities were unable to preserve the peace. "There were 250 people for each National Guard officer... lots of people and few soldiers. At least one officer was beat up because he tried to stop the crowd," another source told El Estímulo.
Other food dispensaries run by the government were also looted by the people.
Far from the promised socialist paradise, as the massive group of people moved, an entrance gate collapsed under the weight of the crowd, leaving several wounded.
The image below shows a human stampede over rice.
. . .
Over the last two weeks, several provinces have hosted scenes of looting in pharmacies, shopping malls, supermarkets, and food delivery trucks. In several markets, shouts of "we are hungry!" echoed. On April 27, the Venezuelan Chamber of Food (Cavidea) reported that the country's food producers only had 15 days left of inventory.
. . .
Social Collapse Is Inevitable
With the economy dead, the only thing remaining is to watch as society implodes.
. . .
Meza said the trigger for the crisis is the shortage of bread and other foods derived from wheat.
"Prices are so high that you can't buy anything, so people don't buy bread, they don't buy flour..."
...Español Ramón Muchacho, Mayor of Chacao in Caracas, said the streets of the capital of Venezuela are filled with people killing animals for food [23]. "Muchacho reported that in Venezuela, it is a 'painful reality' that people 'hunt cats, dogs and pigeons' to ease their hunger."
Subsquently, Muchacho warned that Caribbean islands and Colombia may suffer an influx of refugees from Venezuela if food shortages continue in the country.
"As hunger deepens, we could see more Venezuelans fleeing by land or sea to an island," Muchacho said.
And that is how all socialist utopias always end.* * *
