how do i know this? Cause Im from venezuela, and got out of there as the idiot started to get power.
never been in the situation, but that's how history has stated these types of governments arise, such as our very own.

that's why any divide between poor and rich is a bad bad idea at all times.. eventually, even 'rich' people become poor
