'Those rich people are thieves. They are government cronies and they stole the country's money,' said Vanessa, 36, who earns £14 a month as an analyst at an electrics company.
'They don't want anything to change, or they would lose their high lifestyle.
'Chávez pretended to be this big Socialist, but he was rich himself. He was a hypocrite. He was a f*****g liar. His legacy is people like me looking for food in the garbage.'
For 20 years, Venezuela's economy was gradually destroyed by 'Chavismo', an authoritarian form of Socialism that wrecked the private sector with mass nationalisation and regulation.
Prices were controlled by the government – often set below the cost of production – and it was illegal to give employees the sack. Petrol was given away for 25p a gallon, and poor people were given free food and healthcare.
Billions disappeared from the economy due to cronyism, with Transparency International naming Venezuela one of the most corrupt countries in the world.

Goddamn, Chavez fucked your country up, BIGTIME! Why not do something about it?
>>78029903
>Why not do something about it?
do what
>>78029961
Kill the upper class, replace with pro-capitalist upper class.
It's not a quick fix, granted, but it's probably the best they can do. At least then, they'll likely get some aid from interested, Western corporate sauces.
>>78029961
If I have to tell you, no wonder shit got this bad......
>>78029544
It is true socialism. The government seized the means of production.
>>78028751
>Prices were controlled by the government – often set below the cost of production – and it was illegal to give employees the sack.
Sounds fair, socialism is great.
>>78029448
Shut up you dumb nigger
>>78030105
>Kill the upper class, replace with pro-capitalist upper class.
With what?Their fists?The government promoted gun control and then distributed the guns to their militias, there are several reports of people being killed by pro gov. union members
>>78030114
no seriously,explain
>>78028751
Why doesn't Bernie go to Venezuela and help them do real socialism? We need a hashtag.
>>78030317
If that's what it takes, yes.
Would you rather die fighting knowing at least you tried to make a change, or just starve to death in your room, with no electricity?
There are enough people that they could overcome the security forces, they'd just have to sacrifice some lives, as with any revolution. Even some within the security forces are losing faith, as the article showed.
I can't wait to get a taste of this since next week!
YUMMY!
>>78030626
>I can't wait to get a taste of this since next week!
The taste of what exactly?
>>78030573
dude, people don't have anything to eat, what makes you think they have any strength left to fight with their hands against armed thugs?

>Down the coastal road in a small fishing town called Boca de Uchire, hundreds gathered on a bridge this month to protest because the food deliveries were not arriving. Residents demanded to meet the mayor, but when he did not come they sacked a Chinese bodega.
>Residents hacked open the door with pickaxes and pillaged the shop, venting their anger at a global power that has lent billions of dollars to prop up Venezuela in recent years.
“The Chinese won’t sell to us,” said a taxi driver who watched the crowd haul away all that was inside. “So we burn their stores instead.”
enough energy left to fuck the chinese still

I want to feed that dog a big steak. Now I'm sad.

Of Podemos, spanish version of Venezuela ((((((((socialism)))))))
>>78031322
And that;s why these people are in this mess in the first place. Too scared of death, or too weak-willed to try.
Take 50 people (normal people, not faggots in an Orlando club) and have them simultaneously rush a single man with an assault rifle. Do you think the man with the rifle will win?
>>78029544
Uh oh, looks like someone is going to the gulags
>>78031322
Then they should do it serial killer style. Find their homes, murder their families with machetes, take the guns, rinse repeat
>>78031759
they're probably pro gov
even in this mess, the real opposition is really small
>le ebin Bernie is literally Chavez meme
not an argument

Not an argument.
>>78030188
The workers didn't.
>>78032221
ebin
>>78029544
And how would Original China know that? You didn't implement socialism like your inbred enemy did, and even they have renounced large parts of it.

the country Venezuela is just like middle east, oil rich, but nothing else. when the price of oil drops the country become worthless.
from my link in this>>78031759
>In one of the nation’s worst moments, riots spread from Caracas, the capital, in 1989, leaving hundreds dead at the hands of security forces. Known as the “Caracazo,” or the “Caracas clash,” they were set off by low oil prices, cuts in subsidies and a population that was suddenly impoverished.
>The event seared the memory of a future president, Hugo Chávez, who said the country’s inability to provide for its people, and the state’s repression of the uprising, were the reasons Venezuela needed a socialist revolution.
>Now his successors find themselves in a similar bind — or maybe even worse.
we can see the country wasn't doing great before either, so it has little to do with politics in the first place. a reinstatement of capitalism would be the same thing.
>>78033292
>a reinstatement of capitalism would do the same thing
How do you know this
>>78033292
Socialism destroyed other industries that could have been a buffer when the price of oil dropped.
>>78033292
Yes, i'm sure the fact Chavez and Maduro placed their friends in the best positions possible in the industry,instead of capable people has nothing to do with the crisis
>>we can see the country wasn't doing great before either
the difference is they weren't sitting in oil money
>>78033944
non-diversified economies with no money and oil as their only product/export don't stand a chance, would be my guess as to his reasoning.
Perhaps I can smuggle in a Venezuelan gf.
>'It's not that we don't care about the poor people. We give a lot to charity,' one golfer told MailOnline. 'Should we stop enjoying ourselves just because the country is burning?'
Is it just me, or does this sum up the Socialist mindset perfectly? Nero fiddling while Rome burns.
>>78036123
Its just retards being retards. They should know by now that its best to keep their shit on the down low because if this shit gets out to the starving public there is going to be a violent uprising they will be lynched in the streets.
>>78028751
What? Sean penn told me Venezuela was paradise and that chavez was a great man of the people. How can this be?
>>78034820
>>78033292
Nations like Qatar and the UAE and Bahrain ate examples of countries with oil money & pure, unregulated capitalism that do extremely well.
Venezuela is an example of a country with oil money and socialism, and their economy is collapsing.
Please explain how socialism helps?
>>78036516
Too bad the government confiscated their weapons
>The previous week, he said, armed robbers broke into their house and stole their washing machine. The week before, police confiscated the rifle he used to hunt deer for his family.
>>78036123
>Nero fiddling while Rome burns.
he was just being honest. if he stopped playing golf and gave all his money and golf clubs to a poor family it wouldn't change anything, and I think that's what he meant. he's as helpless as anyone, but what good would it do for him to sit at home and mope?
>>78036953
100 Bolivares is 7 pence, or about 15 US cents. It cost ~$150,000 USD just to get a membership to that club. This is one of those exceptionally rare circumstances where one person could actually make a legitimate difference.
No one is gonna do anything, just like Chavez we will wait till he die. oposition in this contry is lame as fuck. we just need a leader that man up and say lets kill them all. but no one want to be the "bad guy".
Till that day come i will just sit and watch this fall.
THE END.
>>78039728
Why don't you be that guy?
>>78040316
I have no weaps, no money, no power, no allies.
It have to be a well know person or a high rank military. not a normie neet like me.
Sure any one can kill, but then wat? "a random guy kill president and get killed, now the vice president is in charge" nothing has change.
>>78040845
Hitler was a neet who got rejected from Art School, laughed at by girls and had no significant connections at all.
Just think anon. You could be Hitler.
>>78036558
>
Chavez did try. He told big companies to fuck off and they jewed the shit out of him. Then he slowly got used to the dictator-like power, especially when nearing his death.
Maduro is and will always be a hack.
I'm not saying he dindu nuffin, but he wasn't that bad either.
>>78040977
Hahaha.
But then Hitler join the army. figth in the WWI, he is a know vet and get recluted by the nationalist party. and then you know wat happen.
If i want to apply wat you say we must go to war, i join that war, then join a politic party, win the senate and then cuck maduro till he die.
>>78041323
Habla bien pajuo
Venezuela is capitalist. The ruling part just wants socialism.
>>78041456
Aqui tienes tu (You)
>>78028751
This is always the end game of socialism. Eventually you reach a point were being "rich" simply means you have enough to eat.
>>78028751
>inb4 lol its not real socialism
>>78028751
and people will demand even more socialism
ugh
>>78041623
>>78041456
Gentlemen, the answer here is that we need to be the Hitler our country needs us to be.
We need to stop the infighting, and begin to look for our Chavista countrymen and then, lynch them.
>>78028751
really no reason we in the U.S. couldn't help with at least food aid. We literally have so much corn that just sits around in silos and basically is allowed to rot because government subsidies are better than the market price.
>>78046655
Too bad they are blocking any foreign aid.

Giving food won't solve the socialist mindset that killed their farms in the first place. Much like like ever increasing amounts of aid to africa have only multiplied the amount of people in poverty.

It isn't true socialism if a private sector still exists and the government is funded by taxes on a scarce currency.
