Venezuela's Maduro is proof of how socialism enables authoritarianism

The Justice Department’s criminal complaint against Venezuelan socialist dictator Nicolas Maduro further proves what we already knew: Maduro is a brutal leader who has abused his power and his people for his own gain.

Maduro leads his own drug ring, dubbed the Cartel of the Sun, in coordination with the Colombia-based Marxist terrorist group known as FARC, according to investigators. Together, Maduro and FARC reportedly imported hundreds of tons of cocaine into the United States, as well as illegal weapons, according to the charges.
