you do realize that the "root cause" is because of forgin intervention from the United States because Venezuela nationalize its oil and they made a coup against Chavez to suppress that so how is that the result of socialism

so...

even though socialism is anti imprealist

it is the US's fault that they stopped funding a socialist government?

It's the US's fault that the revolution turned out bad?

they weren't funding it though they were destroying it

and lives

well actually we used to fund it, but not anymore

they just wanted that oil for them selves

and if venezuela couldn't secure oil for themselves, then how is it our fault?

i mean if they would have nationalize the oil the price on oil would have gone up so they did what any capitalist country would do

start a fucking coup against socialism

to establish capitalism

and thats what happened

democracy

no capitalism for there own benefit

well I don't think that political enemies would go down well in venezuela

because of their dictator

and thats why Venezuela is not socialist

and there dictator was set upby the US

who led the socialist party

chavez they killed Chavez and put Madero in power

it literally says in that video

and there are sources in the video

you can even just see without looking it up how its not socialist

its clearly capitalist

but what happened under maduro's rule?

what party does he belong to?

Maduro took his resources and sold them to the black market so they can help the state and the state alone even though one of the cores of socialism is to create a stateless society

and Maduro is in the nationalize party that is capitalist

well, in most socialist nations they do silence people

and how is Venezuela socialist if 80% of workers work in private factories

so it is hard to tell which is real and fake e.e

and 75% of land in Venezuela is private for production?

and thats communist nations

not socialist

ehhhh

I'd beg to differ with korea

yes they are similar but socialist has less authority than communism and Korea is more of a monarch than it is communist or socialist
