Patriot,

Argentina and Venezuela used to be both rich and free until socialists slowly but surely destroyed their economies. But last year, Argentinians were able to elect Javier Milei while Venezuelans remain under the iron fist rule of Nicolas Maduro. 

Milei has drastically cut government spending and repealed regulations. Maduro imprisons his opponents and takes over private businesses.

Unsurprisingly, the two countries are now on opposite trajectories...

Inflation is falling in Argentina and the economy has begun to boom in less than a year of free market reforms. Venezuela continues to expel thousands of refugees every day. This is the stark difference between freedom and socialism.

I’m Daniel Di Martino, the founder of the Dissident Project. At the Dissident Project, we are sharing these stories to remind American high school students of the importance of liberty and to warn them about the dangers of following the same path Venezuela did. 

You can help us share our experiences with the problems caused by socialism and authoritarianism and prevent them from gaining ground in the United States by donating today.

As a Venezuelan who witnessed my homeland’s collapse under socialism, I know firsthand the devastation it brings. 

Even two decades after taking over, Venezuela’s socialist dictatorship continues to stifle freedom, destroy wealth, and force millions of people to flee in search of basic necessities.

The average Venezuelan can't last a few days without working, or there will be no food on their table, so they can't resist. Meanwhile, south in Argentina, the rise of liberty-loving leaders like Javier Milei are offering hope to their country that Venezuelans can only remember.

It’s important for high school students to learn that freedom and socialism aren’t compatible, and how the ideas we support today can affect the next few decades, for better or worse.

The Dissident Project allows speakers like me, who fled socialist and other authoritarian countries, to share our experiences with high school students across the country.

Your generous donation helps Dissident Project speakers afford to travel, set the record straight, and help students gain a new appreciation for the freedom we have in this country. Click below to donate.
