The author is grasping at at straws. Venezuela's oil industry has dried up not out of price but out of inability to produce, that inability linked directly with the expropriation of foreign oil resources and the failure of the sitting government to maintain those facilities with its own money. Were price the problem Venezuela would still have some, if reduced, foreign income. In fact, it has none.
I'd love to see a list of those "socialist" countries the author considers to have done well. In fact, they all displayed precisely the same problem: an autocratic, kleptocratic Party whose members enriched themselves at the expense of the citizens. Socialism is the credo of thieves, nothing more.

What will help Venezuela is bombing the presidential palace, skinning Maduro alive and hanging every Cuban mercenary from a lamppost.
