Capitalism needs to be able to thrive in order for economic growth. Now the question is was socialism/Marxism used in Venezuela as a cover to hijack the gov't? I would say yes, but socialism implies equalism and this gov't clearly was out to destroy all sense of economy all future of the people and steal all it could. I wouldn't necessarily say it was socialism but would definitely say they used it to blind the ignorant public.Canadian Ashhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04392005954549946976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4080946.post-85213500624420374642018-12-21T23:14:38.182+01:002018-12-21T23:14:38.182+01:00Does Socialism/Marxism have anything to do with th...Does Socialism/Marxism have anything to do with the collapse of Venezuela's economy?Boludo Tejanonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4080946.post-33274964630902954132018-12-21T03:07:14.375+01:002018-12-21T03:07:14.375+01:00Except for China and Russia who have bought up Ven...Except for China and Russia who have bought up Venezuela paying barging prices with most of the money going to dark corruption. Yes, the US, Brazil, perhaps Colombia or an OAS coalition force could end it but, the cost of rebuilding and feeding the population would be far beyond any gain. Just look at the cost of going into Irak, Afganistan and other failed states. Pottery Shed Rules Apply, You Break it, You Bought It!

From your article Daniel, it looks like both Venezuelan and outsiders (USA, Colombia, etc) are resolving these problems (!!!!) once again the Cuban way, in a more disorderly fashion however. The net beneficiary is also once again Southern Florida where pan de jamon and carne en vara are out of this world this season. I must add that the Venezuelan diaspora in Southern Florida raises by several notches the quality of Latino immigration in the region.Charlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01145328603062740131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4080946.post-71281374059097132462018-12-18T04:34:27.314+01:002018-12-18T04:34:27.314+01:00Yeah, unfortunately, it is a lost cause at the mom...Yeah, unfortunately, it is a lost cause at the moment. You have Trump who is a closet patsy to Putin, you have Russia and China in control of Venezuela and since Trump is Putin's lackey by default Russia and China are in control of the world and are wreaking havoc throughout it. The only hope is ultimately to get a new leader ideally old school Republic in control of the USA and set some things right in the world.Canadian Ashhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04392005954549946976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4080946.post-4334624602405327282018-12-17T12:25:18.813+01:002018-12-17T12:25:18.813+01:00Maduro risks having ambassadors removed because he...Maduro risks having ambassadors removed because he isnt recognized, which is a bit different from breaking relations. I believe it's legal for say the US to state it doesn't recognize Maduro, and ALSO to refuse abandoning its embassy, because Maduro isn't recognized, and therefore he lacks the authority to break relations and order that embassies be vacated. Should he take action against the embassy it would be considered an act of war, and the US president isn't Jimmy Carter. What Latinamerican nations other than Colombia and Brazil do is irrelevant. Those cockroaches have been kissing Castroite butt for six decades, so I expect the same spinelessness and cowardice they have always exhibited. The question in my mind is whether the "Bravo Pueblo" has the testicles needed to create a government in exile which takes over Citgo and bank accounts, arm a few thousand men and take Zulia. I'm afraid Castro chose well, because Venezuela is both rich and its population is as tame as any I've ever seen. So after january 10 we'll see if from 30 million venezuelans, and 3 million in exile, there's leadership and a few thousand volunteers ready to do what has to be done.
