RE: The U.S. Government Destroyed Venezuela not Socialism
The Western world is so conditioned to be scared of the red menace they swallow MSM propaganda whole. Socialism alone could not have destroed such an oil-rich country so thoroghly and so quickly. For the US, spending money to destroy this country is nothing but investment in future oil revenues. As I've already been flagged for my opinions on Venezuela, I just want to add that I do understand the frustration of the people as many are probably desperate at the moment. Desperate people are ready to believe anything, they want to believe the US care for them. A very sad illusion as nobody cares how much people suffer. Not the Americans, not even Chinese or Russians.

I got so sick and tired of people claiming to be Alt right constantly using Venezuela as an example of failed Socialism, Corporate America is an example of failed Socialism. A billionaire wants a new football stadium. If the taxpayers don't pay for the cost of building a new stadium the Billionaire moves the team. Boeing gets around 8 Billion dollars in tax breaks. Wall Street socializes their losses and privatizes their gains. Most Western Countries have either socialized medicine, transportation,or education, the right wing which isn't very alternative, why they don't just call themselves full blown Republicans never criticize anything that Corporate America does, but good help someone if they get a nickel from the state. You are right, they are scared of a fictitious red scare.
The government of chavez and mature, expropriated all the productive industry of Venezuela and left bankrupt these large productive enterprises, in 20 years the corrupt chavizmo, have plundered large sums of millions of dollars, towards banks zuisos and andorra, this country is broken by the granrobo of his riches, by the dechavez government and mature, imagine that the son of chavez lives in united states and has a fortune of more than 4500 million dollars, perhaps we are stupid to continue believing in an economic war? here in venezuela the relatives of mature have a lot of money, they buy mansions and palaces outside the country, and the town going hungry, here the big problem was that people of Chavez and Maduro, they finished with venezuela, that is the true story, greetings.

Yeah, you are right, it is not just the typical destruction that socialism brings, but also the fact the current regime has been looting the country for years (in the order of hundreds of billions stolen) and also destroying private industries by following their socialist doctrine.
Are you defending these totalitarians?
I have heard a lot of this argument that Venezuela is in crisis because the regime looted the country. I have no doubt the elite there is living quite comfortably and they have money stashed abroad. Yet I am certain the rumors are wildly exagerated and this is not the reason people are hungry. Personally, living in Romania, I have intimate knowledge of socialism, totalitarian regimes and the leaders living in luxury. When the regime of Nicolae Ceausescu was toppled in 1989, we were told the dictator had golden toilets and golden water taps and what not. He did not. Just a rumor meant to infuriate the people. Afterwards, people waited in lines to visit the amazing villa where the dictator used to live. For the ordinary folks lacking basic stuff, it was indeed outrageous. By today's standards in my country, that house was just ordinary.
Some of the democratic leaders we've had since stole much more, but you know what? They had US politcal support...
How can you be certain? Because some people in Romania lied about the bathroom of a corrupted politician?
Understand Venezuela is a country with oil and for the past 2 decades the oil revenue has been extremely high, but somehow, the FX reserves have been decreasing, the same can be said about the standards of living and the economy.
That’s very sad, but again, how can you be sure if you don’t know how much they steal or how much the dictator from the past stole?
In Venezuela the current totalitarians looted the country like never before, and due to their socialist ideology, they also introduced laws that weaken the economy even further.
How do you know for certain how much the elite stole in Venezuela? Have you counted for yourself every dollar they have in foreign accounts? My guess is you read it somewhere, in the free western media...

I am not certain how much they stole, but taking into account this government received more oil revenue than all of the previous governments combined, and knowing the country is bankrupted, it is easy to assume these looters are the worst.
No, the hundreds of billions in stolen money is an estimate by Venezuelan economists, but either way, would you prefer to read some media backed by Maduro or other totalitarians regimes? What's the media you like to read?
I tend to read what both sides have to say and believe very little...
