let me just
pull out a better stat
with the express purpose of hurting oil-dependent states like venezuela
in this case Russia
@Deleted User When your economy is entirely dependant on the fluctuations of an ingredient, that is a massive fucking issue.
(not that I'd defend the russian federation)
If the price drops, then your economy is fucked.
Denmark has a bigger public sector and better welfare than Venezuela, therefore they're more socialist than them
socialism is not the government doing stuff
socialism is worker ownership of the means of production
the workers owning and democratically managing their workplaces
Why do these people think that jobs are literally the only aspect of the economy
venezuala's economy
is anti-marketist
state controlled
and socialist
pepes
@Deleted User Meh, not always is that defined as socialism, there are many variations, that would just be the generic idea, but a legitimate idea nonetheless.
here's a better stat than any one you could ever pull up
before they ran out
of other people's money
no, because oil prices went down
the economy was entirely dependent on oil to keep businesses from running away
which, mind you, is a failure of *global capitalism*
failing to provide for people because there wasn't much profit in it
lol it's funny because
It seems we are at a bit of a wall, evidence would probably clear this issue.
the economic policy institute
is a liberal organization
we aren't liberals
it's an anti-capitalist think thank
liberals are for the free market
Venezuela is poor because their entire economy is built on oil and they did stupid shit like implement price controls
the economic policy institute, aka the retards
exactly
who provided your chart
are an anti capitalist
think tank
"anti capitalist"
