baffled at how a country with so many natural ressources can be so poorly driven
>>73319735
have you seen africa?
the mineral resources in the Congo are worth more than the USA and Europes GDP combined.
let that sink in for a moment
Things aren't anything better here
but there's a media blackout and they don't report the shit going on
You're receiving the great reward for being a loyal communist, which is extinction.

That astonishes me too mate, but doesn't make it any less shameful how poorly Venezuela has been run.
I cannot understand why countries that have so many ressources - be they african, south american or anywhere else, really - yet remain so poor and under developed. You could and should be at least on par with European countries, who all have very little natural ressources, yet you fall behind in every single way.
The fact that Congo is unable to consolodiate itself and utilize the ressources at its disposal is no excuse for a country like Venezuela
venezuela will soon be another glorious communist shithole and naive American millenials will idolize them for their progressiveness

When socialism knocked our door

I'm actually curious at how things are at Argentina. One might think that Macri's arrival would change things a bit, but I'm aware political changes tend to take quite a lot. If they even come, for starters
Get ready for a shitload of commie venezuelans busing over the border in just in time for the election.

we trade toilet paper and basic food like corned beef to these guys for weapons.
It's that bad there.

They're actually already there; and all over the world. We've lost millions of comradefags through emigration. Looking for a better place.
Not gonna lie; Syria and MiddleEastfags have it way worst. But we're probably the worst shaped country in the region. Maybe except for Haití, but that's caribbean. No wonder why they leave.

Surely the US has not meddled in this experiment right mohammed?

Please CIA, could you give cancer to Maduro too? Thanks
This is what average venezuelan has to do to get food, medicines or even personal hygene products.
We start making line around 2-3 am. But carefully, if the cops catch us, they'll arrest/kill us (The government made laws so making line at early hours is illegal; so it doesn't look so badly). They mark us with numbers out of Sharpies and shit.
You get to buy only x number of packages of pasta, rice, flour or whatever they're selling. You can only buy once a week, on the day correlated to your ID card's last number. They scan your fingerprints to assure you don't buy anything else until next week. If you do, they jail you.
To buy diappers you have to prove you are a parent. No relativeshit, only mothers and fathers can buy diappers, formula, milk and whipes.
Sometimes you don't even get a chance of buying stuff; it's sold out when you get to the end of the line. And in the worst case, cops or National Guards come to the market and confiscate a big part of the food. They use it to sell it to poorest people and buy votes and political support.
I, personally, used to be middle class. Nothing fancy, good education and little luxury. Used to eat 5 times, as recommended by the doctors. I now eat only one time a day, and it's for dinner. Used to weight 70 Kg's now I'm 40 something.

Chavez won in a landslide. The people chose this. Don't act like this was forced upon you.
Looks like something out of Judge Dredd.

Born in 1998. Didn't chose this. Neither did my parents.

the dreaded resource curse
a govt has little incentive to be accountable to people when their income depends on cashing checks from foreign companies (who don't care how it is spent) instead of tax collection from people in the country
