seriously
@Chris McLean Baron Lord of Hell he's just making lies up
because he can't cite shit
do you want public sector employment figures or public sector as a percentage of gdp
What your saying is so wrong it blows my mind
for the former the latest figures i have are from 2012 and the latter 2013
please source this stuff
it's actually not wrong and if you had done the most basic of research into venezuela you would know this, but none of the sargonite types have
Fuck sargon
@versterven while Venezuela has a private sector, it has state players in all industries and they seem to be the biggest players, and they strangle the private sector competition because they can throw money into their inefficient companies
The only thing decent coming out of Cuba is their cigars, that's it.
I know people from @versterven. its socialist and they hate socialism because of it and how it ruins their lives
Anyway if you look at it as a spectrum Venezuela is much *much* more leaning towards socialism than to capitalism
Especially compared to other countries
```The Center for Economic and Policy Research is an economic policy think-tank, co-founded by economists Dean Baker and Mark Weisbrot, and is based in Washington, D.C. It has been described as left-leaning. Wikipedia
```
Knowing people from a socialist server does not translate into knowledge about socialism
nice left leaning source, faggot
*yawn* im bored, this is boring
the objective data presented is wrong because they're left wing 🤔
@versterven Probably
@versterven do you deny that many left leaning politicians and self proclaimed Socialists praised Hugo Chavezs' policies when he got elected?
If you attack the other side for asking for sources to prove your claims, then you're not worth talking to.
You have nothing more to bring to the discussion than your feelings.
is that too left leaning
that chavez
sure
not Nicholas Malduro
@versterven That's from 2010
some of chavez's policies were good
Not really
but ultimately venezuela is not socialist
and has made virtually no progress toward becoming socialist
his country has suffered horribly from it
Just throw the commie out of the helicopter already
Fucking hell its boring
and people who call bolivia an example of successful socialism now are also wrong
