Hooray For Equality!!!! 80% of People in Venezuela Are Now Living In Poverty

[Pupi]

it absolutely does for the current situation, though

Nexxxxxt, you tried

Lol not at all. Many countries are struggling with the low oil prices, not just Socialist ones. The fact is that they are at war with the United States and that has never spelled out economic success for any nation.

ROFL

Fuck you commie.

Venezuela went all in on Socialism and it did what all socialist nations did...collapse

Lol Vietnam hasn't collapsed, in fact its thriving right now. Same thing goes for China and now Xi is rolling back the small liberal reforms in his country and is going to go back to more orthodox Chinese communism. Where's Chinas collapse at? I'll help you out...nowhere in sight.

oh so that's why GM removed their plant from the country?

there's essentially no private business there, venezualans aren't leaving b/c of the US cmon son hahahahhaha
Peep the VisualPolitik EN video on the matter, i'd link it but YT is banned from government computers

Bernie is an old bitter Marxist who despises successful people and want to punish them for the sake of 'the poor', this is a guy who praised bread lines because it means everyone is on the same pane. People like him see 80% poverty as a good thing because it means that the gap of income inequality is closing.

Bernie is against neoliberalism, like many Americans. Unlike Trump, who stole many anti-neoliberal discourses from Bernie, Bernie actually wants to help the people and not corporations. That's much more admirable.

So Jesus who a rich hating marxist that wanted top/down government control of people's lifes?

That's not what Marxism is so please try again and put that brain of yours to work. Google is your friend.

 

[ultramanhyata]

Im pretty sure Bernie never said he wanted to seize ford plants and private property and that there is a world of difference between what bernie and the Scandinavian countries are doing and believe in vs what Venezuela did but that wouldnt be as fun to jerk off to

Yet GWB literally nationalized nine major banks. And no one on the right has even come remotely close to condemning him as a Marxist.

 

[lecter]

It's time for the top 20% to pay their fair share

There are small businesses there, but sure the government does have a lot of stock in those companies.

You work for the U.S. government. I don't expect you to have a sensible discussion on Venezuela.

 

[HockeyBjj]

Wouldn't it be amazing to stick all the Bernie Bros on a ship to Venezuela, or really any other place "true" socialism occurs?

China is state run Capitalism....

Chavez and Maduro didn't rule Venezuela during the 1980s and 1990s. Why did Venezuela almost collapse and suffer a series of coups then? Oh, that's right, global drop in oil prices and not socialism.

Do you even understand the point you're trying to make? First you tried to blame Venezuela's situation entirely on the other countries, which I addressed. Now you're trying to claim it had nothing to do with socialism. Please stop debating like a coward.

No he doesn't, he wants to punish those who he deems too successful. He's spends all his time talking about the 'evil 1%' until he realized, that is only people who make $250,000 a year so then he moved the goalposts to "Top 1/10 of 1%". Bernie believes your money belongs to government which is why he hates Tax Cuts for 'All Americans' and considers it a 'giveaway'. Bernie believes rich people are the cause of all the world's problem just like you think America is the cause of all the world's problems. You are all from the same cloth, no matter what you try to call yourselves.

There is only equality in misery and death. That is why egalitarian movements are death cults, that have caused the largest amount of death and destruction on mankind. Because the only way to truly unite a diverse group of people, is by putting them 6 feet under the ground. In death, they will find "harmony".

Life and success manifest themselves in many ways, therefore there is no equality to be found in movements that actually encourage people to live life and be successful.

It's cute when a government employee calls for less government of a nation its attacking.

America is the cause of all the world's problems.

Not all of them, but a substantial amount yes.

Business insiders, Forbes, NPR, DOC, anyone with a brain

 

[AlexDB9]

There's no class warfare when everyone is poor!

(with the exception of government officials and their cronies)

So now all those paranoid right wingers make sense huh leftists?

Nah bro this is fake communism if REAL communism had been established Venezuela would be a paradise right now and Americans would be moving there in droves

 

[Rod1]

I hate Maduro, but the way people are twisting its horrible regime in order to score political points is more disgusting.

 

[mudflap mike]

if they get obamaphones are they considered out of poverty?

i guess they would really be madurophones

Venezuela isn't failing because of the system in place entirely, a large part has to do with the fact that they built their economy around the false assumption that gas was going to stay at $4+ per gallon.

 

[AlexDB9]

The majority of people in Venezuela were living in poverty before Chavez. Illiteracy was rampant. If it weren't for U.S. sanctions, U.S. sabotage of Venezuelan resources via its vile oil cartel, the Bolivarian Revolution would be in a much healthier state.

Did you once say you were Cuban or am I misremembering the username?

There is a difference between going through a mild recession like Chile and having the country collapse completely like Venezuela.

You talk as if inflation wasnt an issue when oil was high.
