How do you win an argument about art??

think modern art is all a bunch of horseshit?

Comarade Ace:I think this is subjective

You are correct

Argument won

....

well if you think its subjective, we agree

but not everyone does

Venezuela, how do you justify it?

Im happy to do that in a debate

Inb4 that wasn't real socialism <:Commie_ball:466404411535785995>

actually it was never socialism of any kind

still isnt

something like 70-90% of their economy is still privatized

But how much of those are from people connected to the government?

And how many are independent?

connected to the government how?

Any way. Some ministers cousin that managed to begin something with "borrowed" money to not be returned

ok?

The thing is, can you say it's a private company when all income depends on the government?

@Aldoggo what does that mean?

Now. Imagine you need to buy x amount of merchandise from outside, and you have 100 Bs (local coin). If you are not related to the government you have to buy $ in the black market, where the price, let's say is 100 Bs per $. You can buy 1

ok?

If you have good party contacts you can buy $ from government at a special price!

alright?

So let's say 10 Bs per $

You will get 10 $

so yes, corruption is a thing

That you can sell to the regular market

can you connect corruption and socialist policy?

For the real price

So the general state of companies goes down cause they can't do as well

ok?

this is a nice hypothetical
