these are the economic issues the people are hungry for

look how we've all come together, left and right, to cast this 5'6 (in heels) troll back to the dungeon

it's a thing of beauty

for a minute, nobody was concerned with capitalism or socialism, just a unified cause of trolling the troller

@Green Syndicalism only 70%? Not a hundred?

i wouldve thought itd be higher

maybe PDVSA is truly monolithic in their economy or something

Tbh on paper, communism looks fuckin gay... and the funny thing is that it doesn't even work

There are instances where elements of socialism Works and fails, and there are instances where are elements of capitalism work and fail.

Venezuela's mixed economy has failed as a result of government intervention. Sure, 70% of the industries in the private sector. But it is dead last in the world for property rights.

In other words, the government allows you to own property under certain circumstances, instead of assuming that as a human you have the right to own property regardless of what the government would like like most successful economies.

Remember, it was the government that made the decision to tie Social Services to a volatile industry.

@angie!!

>But it is dead last in the world for property rights.

no? you know cuba still exists. you know in china you cant actually own a home? that feel when you gotta use hyperbole to buttress your belief

>Venezuela's mixed economy has failed as a result of government intervention.

this is true, but that doesnt make it socialist

if people focussed on policies, rather than ideologies, they would *actually* be able explain what went wrong in Venezuela

does socialism normatively claim that nations should tie their welfare system to the price of oil? no. so then, why criticise venezuela as a "socialist failure"? its basically a form of mccarthyism

@Green Syndicalism look at nazi germany... that's probably one of the only examples of socialism that works for the benefit of the nation.

Tbh

In most other cases socialism = 💩💩

Economically

But I would ascribe the achievements of the Nazis to nationalism not economics.

>that's probably one of the only examples of socialism that works

how many forms of socialism do you think has been tried man

Too many ha ha

nope

you realise almost *all* of the eastern bloc tried the same system

Don't touch my shit or I'll stab you @Green Syndicalism @Green Syndicalism
