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

venezuala was praised as a socialist pradise

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"

lemme look that up

venezuala didn't run out of oil

did it?

controlled prices

>socialism

```The EPI describes itself as a non-partisan think tank that "seeks to include the needs of low- and middle-income workers in economic policy discussions".[2] It is affiliated with the labor movement,[3] and is usually described as presenting a liberal[4] viewpoint on public policy issues.```

so it's liberal

"labor movements"

>>>

not socialist in any way

yes, the classcucked american unions

liberals are becoming socialists

most of them already are

no, they're becoming social democrats
