There can be no argument, Venezuela is and has been for all recent history a socialist / Communist country. All its leaders in recent years have been socialist / communist - from Betancourt through Chavez and through to Maduro.Originally Posted by Eric Cartman
Interesting to note there that the richest person in Venezuela is Chavez's daughter, Maria Gabriella Chavez, worth $4.2Billion. Not bad from being the daughter of a president who said being rich is very bad.
Venezuela may well be a gangster state but it is impossible to deny that for many, many years the country has been a socialist / Communist state.
Unfortunately, the likes of you nor your leader can see what he has done to the country. Corbyn tweeted - "Thanks Hugo Chavez for showing that the poor matter and wealth can be shared. He made massive contributions to Venezuela & a very wide world" - I am not sure that the good people of Venezuela quite agree with that view.
The imposition of price controls was an utter failure of policy, driving many, many companies supplying and producing the basics in Venezuela out of business. Socialism has meant that the inflation rate in Venezuela is now 18,000% - EIGHTEEN THOUSAND PERCENT, as the Government continues to print more and more money.
Communism and socialism has been the cause of the demise of Venezuela and will continue to do so. Remember this is the country with the highest known oil reserves in the whole world. Who else but the communists / socialists could have blown that for its own people.
An utter an abject failure.
