Socialism is going to fail, it is inevitable. These problems did not start after Hugo died, they have been happening for years and have been getting worse and worse while he was alive.
I agree. Chavez showed how you could take a moderately successful, oil rich country and run it into the ground with whimsical crackpot socialist policies. It wasn’t anything new; he just reproduced the obvious.
“Socialism is going to fail, it is inevitable. These problems did not start after Hugo died, they have been happening for years and have been getting worse and worse while he was alive.”
The fantasy of Marxism/Socialism/Liberalism/Progressiveism/What-are-they-calling-it-this-week always fails, it is just a matter of how many have to die before it falls. It isn’t an ideology of “sharing the wealth!”, but one of the naked application of political power.
It’s been this way for almost 100 years now.
