Tbh in theory the "state" capitalism of venezuela, china and germany seems the same to me, except for the degree of how much political-class elites there are
china and germany are more similar to eachother than either are to venezuela i think
Venezuela has less politician/military-elites, but regardless in such nations the state owns/controls/gets any business that goes against their vision
Much more authoritarian too. If they had more persons rubbing shoulders with Maduro and he let more politicians "own"/take control of the industries, it can look like china.
There is some freedom to china/germany. But it's still easily taken by the government
looking more like china would be a big improvement over what they have now
Like china wrt economic, ethnic or big government?
the economic system
the venezuelan government just attempts to control private enterprise through a web of strangling regulations
Maduro seized all industries. Lots of small business owners were imprisoned for not wanting to give them up
That's why every American company fucking left
Their grocery shelves are full of one-brand only items/monopoly
that's not true
less of venezuela's economy is state owned than in countries like norway
Only because Venezuela doesn't have an economy right now
it's been that way throughout the entirety of the chavez and maduro administrations
If you want america to be economically like china, u have to make your people do the dirty jobs, keep your tech to yourselves & don't let the chicoms study how to make them in your very own universities/phds and/or reverse engineer them
Produce them in america so they don't steal your IP

The kurds were never friends
We should completely withdraw from Syria
Wait but northern Syria borders Turkey
Ya we should not completely withdraw. Last time we did that we got isis
Even if Isis did come back if we had completely withdrawn then they would have no reason to bother us
They would find one
Their goals involve the Middle East not Europe
At the moment
They will go after Europe if they get that far
They only involve us currently because of our constant interventions
And they wouldn't get that far in the first place
I don't want more ruins destroyed
The Governments of the Middle East would be able to deal with it
They were not able to last time
If they were isis would not have rose
Truth is, the game was rigged from the Start
