Socialism in Venezuela was born out of the austerity measures that left people starving and homeless prior to the election of Chavez (look up the Caracazo Protest-- fascinating stuff). Venezuela had literally married their economy to their oil-- which also means their very survival lies on the oil market. Even prior to Socialism getting a hold of them.. they had some serious economic issues because of it.

Oh my goodness - the capitalistic oil oligarchs destroyed venezuela - and chavez and maduro had nothing at all to do with it.
None so blind. except perhaps the Venezuelan electorate that voted in chavez..
Just as America may vote in the marxist DPST harris as POTUS - and see the Constitution and Bill of Rights destroyed.
Vote Biden - U will never bear the burden of casting a vote in a free election again
Harris will take care of U. Whether you like it nor not.
Suggestion - apply to XiNn for a talking head position.
