In a nutshell:

>Set prices of goods to ridiculously low
>Goods like medicines stop being produced because why the fuck would anyone produce anything with no profit
>Essential food goods mostly stop being produced, but goverment decides to seize and control farms and industries to at least produce the bare minimum

>Recently government passed legislature to enter houses with no judge order to capture bachaqueros

literally socialism

they made laws which make it impossible to produce and sell, when people just say fuck it I'm not gonna work in these conditions (insane taxes, insane regulations, basically illegal to make a profit of any kind, can't fire workers ever, etc etc )

then they tried to produce stuff on government farms, but it didn't work because of corruption and incompetence. private businesses are a hundred times more efficient.

>Rich Eating Well in Venezuela, Basque Executive Shows

>Agustin Otxotorena, a Basque executive living in Caracas, grew tired of constant calls from friends and relatives in Spain telling him that there was no food in Venezuela, so on May 20 he began publishing photos on Facebook of supermarkets in upscale sectors of Caracas filled with goods.

>"If you have money there is champagne … vodka, Belgian chocolates … lobster, brand-name clothes, exclusive restaurants … nightclubs, beaches … yachts, golf clubs—a whole country within a country where there are no poor, women and children are blond, go to exclusive schools, exclusive universities, and vacation, where Blacks or poor are the waiters … ,” he posted on his Facebook page.

>In his analysis he stated that the phenomenon stems from corruption in import processes, subsidies by the government, and the existence of buying, re-selling and smuggling of subsidized essential goods by "bachaqueros", linked to Colombian paramilitary groups.

Price controls were stupid. Redistributing existing farm land was stupid. Concentrating so much population in a few huge cities was stupid.

They have plenty of land and water resources, the population was just too lazy getting their votes bought with oil money to make use of it.

They need some proper natsoc autarky.

Aren't they the ones smuggling Venezuelan food out of the country? According to that Basque rich guy they're in cahoots with the Anti-Socialists which is kind of fucked up too.

>This is what has lead to the lack of foodstuffs in working class and poor neighborhoods of the country. It is estimated that 40 percent of these products, are taken out of the country.
>Colombian paramilitaries earn more money from these Venezuelan goods than from the production and marketing of cocaine, Otxotorena added.
>Otxotorena’s conclusion is that indeed there is a war against the Venezuelan people, whose criminal and coup character is encouraged by some international media "that would not bear or endure a 10th of these behaviors if they occurred in their countries.
>"Everything goes toward the overthrow of Chavismo. However, whatever, whenever ... The only thing that matters to them (the opposition), even if the country is destroyed, is to get the Blacks, the poor, the Indigenous, the ‘ugly people’ or ‘peasants’ out of power.

No, what he (the rich Basque guy) is saying is that Colombian paramilitary groups, called Bachaqueros, stand in the breadlines with everyone else. They then get free food, then go back to Colombia and sell it for near market price, then they pocket the profits. Supposedly the Bachaqueros are in cahoots with the anti-chavistas who use it to create anti socialist sentiment and start a coup.

The government enforcing "fair" food prices, which drastically reduce the incentive to produce or import food, and create incentive to export, hoard and speculate on the little food that is sold within the country.

>Economic war

Goverment bullshit. Actually no ones believes that, just the most blind followers, that are like 15% of population.

>mass starvation

yes, it's really starting. People just eats mangoes since there's no food. Or you make a big ass queue for buying cheap food or buy food at 500% of original price.

Also venezuelan here. Ask what you want.

Our oil has to be mixed with lighter crudes, thats why it sells for like $10 less per barrel than a lightweight crude.

Prices are the market's way of signalling information - if a price is high, it tells people that the good is in high demand. If they are allowed to, people will then attempt to provide more of that product, because they can see they can make a profit out of it.

When you have price controls, like in Venezuela, those signals telling people that products are in demand get lost. Because there is no profit to be made in providing the food, people who would import or grow food instead sell it to other places, because their prices suggest greater need and therefore greater profit.

tl:dr; without prices markets cannot function properly

YES! let's make a list of everything me and bianca santos did on bed! uhu!
(read this very carefully okay? since you have the same surname, you can do everythin here as well)
1 - sex after making her cry (classic predator style, do it or i quit being your boyfriend)
2 - sex on bed of relatives, using their condoms too!
3 - sex on kitchen while she is making dinner, you know, go get advantage when the parents are out for a ride
4 - sex during camping, but she failed this one because she wasn't kinky enough (she didn't let me make an enema with the wine bottle - I got this one later, but I had to pay twice before aving a spetacular free ride)
5 - asking her to suck my cock after I took baths, like it was mandatory
6 - everytime we had sex, I mean, EVERYTIME, I asked her what to do with the cum. sometimes she spit, sometimes for her to swallow, sometimes she askes me to cum on her breasts, and morte often to cum inside her - it was me who was paying fot the anti baby pills, but the cum destination was her decision)
7 - I never got envy is she was seeing others guys. I was seeing other girls (prostitutes, therefore, "girls") but I used to test everything I did with her, with the other girls, because I definetely got a sex toy, not a girlfriend... So, feel free to learn something new while having sex, for example, I didn't knew that an woman could FART from her pussy. Later, I found out that is a characteristic from women who have sex from early childhood (this one I'll explain in the next item)
8 - SOOO! I saved her niece from having afarting cunt after I was into her older sister house, she planned me to rape her niece... But, since I can read other people's thoughts and have an idea about what is going on... I just went to sleep and ignored the situation, and started to plan my escape from that mental family (morrigan will not be a cunt fart joke like helena, bianca, fernanda, samantha, etc)
9 - going to smoke because you are not that important anymore

3.High Corruption
4.Selling food on large scale to people in Venezuela is a privilege from communist government

Funny you say that. The USA and other countries seem to have no problem whatsoever providing generous amounts of aid to certain regimes that were much, much worse than Venezuela.
>>
>>75991858
Venezuela stole foreign investments then rode on the massively inflated price of petroleum to fuel their free shit machine. The high price of petroleum kick-started the shale oil industry, which normalized the price of petroleum, which sent Venezuela stumbling into Africa-style mass starvation.

Their entire economy is built on fuel exports. They don't produce anything; they just let the oil private businesses tapped flow from the ground to pay for every part of their lives.

Look, it's a very interesting dilemma. As much as you would want to whiteknight for the venezuelan people, they are a sovereign nation with an internationally recognized government.
Said government and the head of state have very clearly told everyone in the international community to shut up and mind their own business.

Any measure we take against the venezuelan government would be an act of aggression. The kind amerifats love to do all over the ME (you know how that goes).

Initiative must come from within Venezuela to avoid it being an aggression. Initiative that as of today is very weak. Because majority of people STILL support the current government, and the opposition is crushed under the boots of the state.

We shouldn't (because we don't have the authority), and can't "solve" the problem. It's not within anyone's national interests to be Venezuela's whiteknight, no one has anything to win helping take down the government. No one has any intentions to annex their territory either.

As for a humanitarian crisis happening or not, again, depends fully in the venezuelan government. We can "do something", but if they don't like it we have a civil war in our hands.

TL:DR: Abandon ship
