In the US you are seeing a bit of that with Trump and Sanders. This is a warning to the political class but I think they will ignore it as they always have.Eventually they will have to pay attention. It has always been that way with revolutions in this kind of era we are in.
No they don't, after all in Venezuela they aren't and Madura is continuing in the footsteps Chavez. Read up on what is going on there, it isn't pretty. You will have to dig because most mainstream media tends toward the left. The one thing that will work, the free market, will not be tried because it reduces the power the politicians hold. If the current trends continue then it won't be long before the pitchforks and guillotines come out. It has been awhile since a whole nation's political class lost their heads, couldn't happen to a nicer bunch of people.
The problems in Venezuela is because the leadership is incompetent and increasingly paranoid, a paranoia primed because of the US's history in the region to see an imaginary CIA plot behind every corner, not because of "socialism".
