I'm not sure a lot of people would link what's happening to Venezuela to socialism; in fact everything I've read and talking to people from there attributes there collapse to other problems.
and a grammatical error to boot!
This is the same guy who said MLK was a "socialist before it was cool"

Probably looking for a narrative to blame Trump

Venezuela fell for the same reason as every other country: drugs and whores. And I love both.
Oh, and frick socialism.

No matter what kind of dress you put on a pig, it’s STILL a pig.

Faith in central planning is just insane. What makes people think it’s possible?

I'm not saying what Hitler did in Germany was good public policy, but I'm starting to get it.

He wants to blame Trump somehow and he needs to be told Venezuela collapsed from marxism, the same political mantra the USA democrats use.

I wonder if his parents had any kids that weren't brain dead?

Wait, you mean nationalizing the production of your only real commodity and relying on it as your sole source of income for your citizenry isn't really a fault of socialism?

can we get a list of the other problems?

Chavez died, and instead of breaking with his policies, they elected his hand-picked successor, Maduro. A few months later Maduro decreed himself ruler indefinitely.
So it's not really socialism now. It's the inevitable progression from socialism to totalitarianism.

What "other problems" would cause an oil-rich nation's utter economic collapse?

The other posts just excoriate him.
Kinda nice to see.

only naive idiots think socialism causes a collapse. Socialism is sharing equally. They have never shared equally; therefore, it's not socialism.

The twitter replies are pretty funny.

Marxism is sharing equally, and historically that's been equal sharing of misery, until individual greed takes over and people start hoarding and promoting themselves over others as the elite. It's happened every time, and it will happen every time. Human nature.
