In this case was the currency exchange

2018-10-24 11:40:57 UTC  

But that's enough, now you explain to me how Venezuela failed

2018-10-24 11:41:06 UTC  

If it wasn't socialism

2018-10-24 11:42:15 UTC  

Venezuela failed due to corruption, US interference, a collapsing oil market, internal corporate elites stocking up and hiding supplies in an attempt to turn public opinion against the government

"professional" "designers" are the bane of my fuckin life

Telesur answer

There's no such thing as US interference, in fact, most people there are begging for one

2018-10-24 11:48:40 UTC  

ok

2018-10-24 11:48:46 UTC  

During the last 20 years oil has been peak high

2018-10-24 11:49:25 UTC  

So the income should've been high enough that even us interference wouldn't matter

2018-10-24 11:49:36 UTC  

its not about oil prices

2018-10-24 11:49:37 UTC  

Wait, that's my next point chill out

2018-10-24 11:49:41 UTC  

It is

It's $85 now c'mon Venezuela

2018-10-24 11:50:18 UTC  

Because with the mid 2000s prices it would've been enough to survive any criais

START TRYING

2018-10-24 11:50:59 UTC  

The thing is they can't even try, oil infrastructure is (at least) 20 y.o. With barely any maintenance

2018-10-24 11:51:19 UTC  

Because the oil company was statized around 2002

2018-10-24 11:51:37 UTC  

And they kicked practically all qualified workera

2018-10-24 11:51:42 UTC  

Workers*

2018-10-24 11:51:54 UTC  

exactly

2018-10-24 11:52:53 UTC  

And about stockpiling. The only ones caught stockpiling were government owned

2018-10-24 11:54:08 UTC  

The cherry on top of the cake is that gasoline is basically free.

2018-10-24 11:54:47 UTC  

And they are implementing a system where party members will still get it for free, and everyone else has to pay international price

2018-10-24 11:55:03 UTC  

alright?

2018-10-24 11:55:11 UTC  

There's no possible way to survive that way

2018-10-24 11:55:35 UTC  

Now extrapolate that to a whole country

2018-10-24 11:56:10 UTC  

ok, and why would I do that?

2018-10-24 11:56:30 UTC  

Cause the same people are running the fkin country

2018-10-24 11:56:56 UTC  

you cant just extrapolate things like that to a whole country

2018-10-24 11:57:03 UTC  

there are thousands of factors at play here

2018-10-24 11:57:06 UTC  

millions, even

2018-10-24 11:58:54 UTC  

OK, then why did it fail?

2018-10-24 11:59:16 UTC  

It wasn't US intervention, stockpiling or the drop of oil prices

2018-10-24 11:59:43 UTC  

it was a million things dude, I dont really know what to tell you
