Forget socialism in south america for a moment.
Throuout history, every single time EVERY country that ever tried socialist system/economics, the same shit happens. Every last time, to every last one. They always fail, ending in economic collapse, and mass suffering, lack of freedom, deaths, starvation, mass corruption, and poverty for all except a few corrupt rich. Its truly evil and destroys lives and countries and takes away all your freedoms.
And in every last case, throuout history the leftist/socialists involved, and the left supporters in the west and in the media, blame 1000 different factors, and never blame the only common obvious thing. The same thing you are doing. Because that then would attack their own belief systems ideology, their own idealism that they "know" is the best way. And they cant do that can they! Venuzuala was just another one to add to the pile. Its not fully collapsed yet. But It will. I predicted this collapse of venuzuala 10 years ago in the pub, when on the TV news, our idiot politician j. corbyn, did a TV speech shouting about how venuzuala was showing a BETTER way forward, a system that was "better for all not just the few", showing the world how socialism
could work! He isnt mentioning that now.
. Recently he was asked about the violence by the police/army in venuzuala. He never mentioned socialism once.
He corbyn obviously ignored all the collapsed ones, and millions dead, the mass suffering, and the collapse of everything past the berlin wall, china and its severe poverty 50 years ago eating dead babies for protein, with no power, food, roads, cars, medical services for most.
Even china finally figured out why everyone wanted to go to a severely overcrowded HK and underwent extreme suffering to get there. With no natural resources IT WAS FREE to trade as it wanted. And its massively overcrowded but rich because of its free capitalist trade. And so china experimented in some areas and adopted a capitalist free trade system while spitting feathers as it totally goes against their ideology. Sweden went from a very rich capitalist country with excellent standards of living for the poor too, to a very broke desperate one fast after trying socialism. They had to backtrack rapidly before complete collapse and did so quite successfully. So could venuzuala. Or mexico. In fact its got no choice.
It seems that no matter how many times this happens nobody learns or wants to admit it. After all, the socialist ideology seems so fair. It cant possibly be wrong can it.They teach how marvelous it is in edu establishments and most teachers are leftists. And they know they are right. Hence all the daft marxists and socialists coming out of college. Even though it is absolutely evil and never works! They make endless excuses for that and gloss over it. And I am making the same prediction about mexico if it truly embraces socialism. Collapse.
