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

"you are performing like shit" let's take all your work life and give it to the people

can you prove it has any real life connections to Venezuela and has socialist origins?

And it breaks down, cause they can't manage it

Here has always been corruption in Vzla, but it exploded since 2003 where the socialist government implemented the state control currency exchange

can you prove that?

Im on mobile rn.

But you can Google "bolichicos"

Or see how much money Chavez' daughter has

yeah, corruption is a bitch, but I dont see how this is unique to socialism

It's not unique, but it's exponentially increased

by what specific policy?

In this case was the currency exchange

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

If it wasn't socialism

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
