ill-advised government policies...

It's far beyond mere incompetence. Maduro & Co. are fascist dictator thug criminals. They have no desire or intention on actually running the country they are plundering.

That's why the Soviet Union under Nikita Khrushchev specifically told Mao Zedong early in 1958 NOT to go through with the Great Leap Forward. Khrushchev saw personally what happened when Stalin's forced collectivization of farms from 1928 to 1934 may have killed at minimum 15 million Soviet citizens, particularly in the Ukraine. It's not a coincidence that allowing the farmers on collective farms to operate small vegetable farms started during the early 1960's.

Today, Venezuela is going to attempt a Great Leap Forward overhaul of the Venezuelan economy. And it's going to have the same disastrous consequences.
