Private food companies are in business to sell food and make profit, no?

I've read that when Chavez was alive Venezuela wasn't so bad. It seems he improved national health system and fought corruption.
It seems that now they have a currency crisis....

They don´t sell food to blackmail the government and support the right-wing opposition. Of course, private major food companies do not exist in socialism so Venezuela is not socialist country.
Suddenly you are as dumb as the Obamabots.

Only took him two years to destroy the economy in Venezuela. Most natural resources of all South America combined.

Easy. The most prosperous nation in South America went socialism. Now the people are eating their pet dogs to stay alive.

US imperialism caused the economy to be boycotting itself, low oil prices worsen the situation. This results in political tensions.

"Caracas, December 5, 2016 (venezuelanalysis.com) - Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro confirmed Saturday that the state intelligence service SEBIN arrested several directors from the Credicard financial transaction company on Friday night.

The financial consortium is accused of having deliberately taken advantage of a series of cyber attacks on state internet provider CANTV Friday to paralyse its online payment platform–responsible for the majority of the country’s accredited financial transactions, according to its website."

"Based on allegations of drug trafficking, the U.S. government has added Venezuelan Vice President Tareck El Aissami to its list of “sanctioned” Venezuelan officials. Unsurprisingly, Westerns journalists uncritically spread the allegations. Borrowing from Einstein, a definition of corporate journalism could be “the practice of uncritically citing the same dishonest sources over and over again no matter how catastrophic the result.”
The targeting of El Aissami is part of the United States’ "regime change" policy toward Venezuela that goes back nearly two decades. It began shortly after the late President Hugo Chavez was first elected in 1998. As always, the international media’s collaboration with U.S. government objectives is crucial.

In March of 2015, the Obama administration declared Venezuela to be an “extraordinary threat to the national security of the United States.”"

"Venezuela may take legal action against U.S. investment bank J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. after the financial institution accused the South American country’s state oil corporation of being behind in bond payments — an allegation the company denies.

President Nicolas Maduro has slammed such maneuvers as a de facto financial blockade against the country. He directed the state oil company PDVSA to study the possibility of suing J.P. Morgan over the incident.

In that context, what the Venezuelan government has called an “economic war” on the country parallels the financial destabilization targeting the socialist government of President Salvador Allende in Chile in the early 1970s ahead of the CIA-backed military coup that ousted him from office in 1973. The U.S.-backed economic warfare sought to weaken Chile by “making the economy scream,” as then-President Richard Nixon put it in orders to the CIA, in order to topple the Allende government."

"Caracas, November 12th, 2015. (venezuelanalysis.com)- Hundreds gathered in Los Caobos park in downtown Caracas on Saturday morning for an ecological farmers’ market organized by grassroots organizations and cooperatives.

Founded by half a dozen agro-ecological collectives last autumn, the market is held the first Saturday of every month and features organic, locally-grown fruits and vegetables as well as a plethora of handmade products from artisanal jams to homemade deodorant- all at highly affordable prices.

In the face of soaring inflation and a widespread tendency of private retailers to unload essential products on the black market rather than sell them at regulated prices, Venezuelans view the market as an opportunity to not only satisfy their necessities but also to begin laying the foundations for a new democratic economy."

"Caracas, November 5, 2015 (venezuelanalysis.com) –Venezuelan authorities discovered 2,500 kilos of expired wheat flour at a plant belonging to the US multinational Kraft Foods in the northwestern city of Barquisimeto. The wheat flour was imported by the food and beverage conglomerate using preferential dollars provided by the Venezuelan state, which are exclusively reserved for importing food and medicines.

According Gustavo Saavedra, union representative and inspector for the Superintendence of Just Prices (SUNNDE), the wheat flour expired because Kraft failed to make use of it in time."

"The workers said the company had almost halved production of pre-cooked cornflour, amid shortages of the product in some parts of the country. Along with battling its own workers, the company has also been at loggerheads with the Venezuelan government for years. President Nicolas Maduro accuses it of being part of an “economic war” aimed at destabilizing the country with food shortages, but repeatedly stated he is willing to work with Polar management to overcome their political differences."
