Daily Caller: A Venezuelan journalist took issue with American actor Jim Carrey’s contention that Democrats should embrace socialism, citing his own experiences in his home country.
After Carrey’s appearance last week on HBO’s “Real Time with Bill Maher,” during which the actor insisted that Democrats should “say yes to socialism, to the word and everything,” Venezuelan columnist Laureano Márquez wrote a scathing column on Wednesday for the Venezuelan media outlet Runrunes, criticizing Carrey’s worldview.
“Dear Jim, I admire you a lot, but sometimes it seems that the inability of Hollywood stars to understand politics is directly proportional to their talent,” wrote Marquez, as translated by Fox News. “I read that … you said: ‘We have to say yes to socialism, to the word [‘socialism’] and to everything.’ Perhaps for you, as for all humanity, the word ‘socialism’ sounds beautiful.”
Many, Marquez explained, view socialism as “the antithesis of selfishness, synonym of concern for others … support for the weakest and their needs, of seeking health and education for all,” the economic system actually has “deep threats.” more here
Smart guy! (the Venezuelan, not Jimbo)
I wonder if he’s the same one who invited Carrey to come down and live in Venezuela FOR A WEEK (7 whole days! oh my) to get a better grasp on the reality of the situation…not that Leftists care much for reality.
Jim carrey….socialism
Send me a check or just fucking die…
Forcing Jim to accept an airline one way Godfather-ticket, you know the type making an offer that can’t be refused, to Caracas for a bit of first hand personal experience might be the only way to get Jim to understand the author’s message.
Under a capitalist system anyone who wants to practice socialism is free to do so. Jim Carrey and his buddies are free to pool their money and possessions to do whatever. Then they can invite every parasite in the country to join them. Just don’t force other people to do it against their will. It’s called VOLUNTARY SOCIALISM. If it’s so wonderful then everyone will want to opt in. If not then they won’t.
Until he moves into a 1200 square foot house in Inglewood and gives most of his money away, he’s a hypocrite
Jim Carey has my permission to move to Venezuela any time!
