And not fluctuating oil
Or any other cause
Erm...
...timing?
That’s one
That’s not an opinion to be disagreed with, it’s a fact that Venezuela started being over reliant on oil a solid 30 years before the socialist government took power @Attika
Ever hear that correlation does not equal causation?
The crisis was doomed to happen
And when the socialist government took over they collapsed?
They were going to collapse anyway
I disagree.
The Venezuelan economy also suffered in the 1980’s
Seems like it was inevitable
Under a capitalist government
It was inevitable
In fact the charts showed Venezuela was growing.
So tell me how government intervention in the economy is a good thing?
When Chavez first took power Venezuela was literally just walking out of a financial crisis
Because speaking from personal experience.
Government intervention destroys lives.
?
What?
You said you were speaking from personal experience
I am
You don’t know what caused the Venezuela crisis though
It wasn’t government intervention in the economy
I wasn’t talking about Venezuela.
You just were
I was talking about government intervention in the economy.
You were talking about how government intervention destroyed Venezuela
I was explaining how you are wrong
I had moved on.
Scroll up.
That’s quite abrupt
Anyway, what’s your next point
I have had personal experience where socialist policies destroy lives and force people to become slaves of the state where capitalism frees them. So please explain how government intervention in the economy is a good thing.
What experience
And tell me how “socialist policies” caused it
As I said...
I run and own a corporation.
