After being indicted by the United States for narcoterrorism and conspiring to import cocaine into the United States, the leader of Venezuela was touting a socialist ‘Cuban cure’ for the coronavirus.

Interferon Alpha-2b, a Hepatitis drug, is a popular cure on Socialist Twitter where it’s touted as a Cuban miracle drug that the United States is conspiring to block. Interferon isn’t a Cuban drug. It came out of Switzerland. Its manufacturers include Israel’s Teva. There’s no actual need to get it from Cuba.

Maduro, the druglord socialist leader of Venezuela, was better with cocaine than with actual medicine. But he retained his grip on power by using Cuba’s slave doctors to go door to door telling people that if they didn’t vote for him, they wouldn’t receive medical care. Patients were denied basic medical procedures under socialized medicine until they voted for the nacrosocialist regime’s candidates.

That was MaduroCare.

The new Pirates of the Caribbean are socialists who fly the red flag, instead of the black flag. After Chavez had nationalized the fishing industry, with the usual disastrous socialist results, the country’s unemployed fishermen turned to piracy.

It began with kidnapping fishermen from other countries and holding them for ransom. But there wasn’t that much money in abducting Trinidad fishermen who also began to get guns and fight back.

Venezuela’s pirates became openly identified with the country’s drug trafficking and grew more brutal.
