Venezuela bros, if you're not in the middle of a blackout can you please update us on the situation
>The day had begun with the usual hazards: chronic shortages of antibiotics, intravenous solutions, even food. Then a blackout swept over the city, shutting down the respirators in the maternity ward.
>Doctors kept ailing infants alive by pumping air into their lungs by hand for hours. By nightfall, four more newborns had died.
>There is so little electricity that the government works only two days a week to save what energy is left.
>The figures are devastating. The rate of death among babies under a month old increased more than a hundredfold in public hospitals run by the Health Ministry, to just over 2 percent in 2015 from 0.02 percent in 2012, according to a government report provided by lawmakers.
>The rate of death among new mothers in those hospitals increased by almost five times in the same period, according to the report.
>But Mr. Maduro, who succeeded Hugo Chávez, went on television and rejected the effort, describing the move as a bid to undermine him and privatize the hospital system.
>“I doubt that anywhere in the world, except in Cuba, there exists a better health system than this one,” Mr. Maduro said.

At least no one has to suffer under the yoke of inequality. They're all equally poor

Good shit, keep it up Venezuela.
Note: I couldn't find any pictures of Mr. Linkola smiling, showing a "thumbs-up" gesture or expressing any positive emotions whatsoever, so just imagine that he is smiling and showing a "thumbs-up" gesture in this image.

At least they get mushroom man and green guy on the walls.

Didn't you hear? They cut off their internet for 5 or 6 days per week, because they couldn't afford it.
>>74149429
african countries are better, really ?
>>74149229
>>74149491
Fuck, really? I knew they had at least 4 hours of government enforced blackouts daily and that government employees only work 2 days a week to converse electricity.
>>74149509
They're still run by niggers
>>74149429
>How come every other South America country is better off?
Spot on. And here's the kicker.
>Toad and Luigi in the picture
Kind of makes me sad that these infants are dying.

>>74149429

nope, but it's unnoticed

If you're trying to make point then spit it out already.
>My old man screwed a Venezuelan chick years ago
>Stayed in contact with her
>He recently got me to cancel his VOIP thing because the phone network in Venezuela has been effectively shut down and he can't contact her anymore
>>74149429
>Every other south american country is better
Peru
Bolivia
Paraguay
Colombia
Ecuador
Guayana meme countries
All shitholes worse than venezuela
>>74149687
Are you implying that most African countries aren't run by leftist governments?
Pretend you don't know and just ignore it.
Like every other generation in history.
>>74149355
>would it be different under non socialist regime ?
wait 6 months and find out.
spoilers: yes
>>74149788
You probably know better, but I doubt your judgement. Peru and Colombia seem to be okay-ish. Bolivia is as rich in oil as Venezuela is.

yeah nature's a motherfucker - if you're born incapable of breathing hope it's a first world country because you're not supposed to make it

Typical lies from pinko commies/socialist

Guarantee you it's in the capital ie: where all the supposed """white hispanics""" on /pol/ shitpost from. The sickest poverty stricken areas are actually in the cities.
In the country/mountains, they're born, get a slap on the bottom and are given a plow. They're weened on coffee and beans
>t. phams on all sides of the fence
How can anyone defend communism in the current year?
>>74149193
Socialism hasn't been tried enough times, if we brute force it in enough countries one might succeed then you'll really be btfo

Empty shelves == sabotage
How can you be so dumb and not recognize it?
>>74150163
Do you think there is a correlation between premature babies and weak beta cuck liberals in western society that were suppose to have died after birth but was forced to live with 1st world technology?
>>74151721
No, its more about betas getting to breed through marriage imstead of the alpha male getting many women pregnant
>>74149788
You're objectively very wrong
>>74150581
Ah yes the line-standing. Dad told stories about that from communist polent
>>74151969
Throughout animal history there have always been betas. Without them a social group just can't function. Beta males in social groups were actually the evolutionary leap that pushed humanity towards civilisation.
>>74149193
It has more to do that those people are impulsive brainless idiots.. Sweden and Norway are socialist country and economically they are not falling apart.
>>74149193
>kill all poor baby
>no more poor people being born
REVOLUTIONARY
>>74149792
my point is that being a piss poor country is not related to the fact there is a socialist regime.
but what I can clearly state is that for a piss poor country, socialist regime is way better than a capitalistic one.
For instance, when you mention Cuba, you can compare their development with other carribean island: Haiti, Puerto Rico, Jamaica. They are all capitalist, USA backed, but also piss poor and with a development index significantly lower than Cuba
