Not correct. There were no massive human rights abuses. That’s corporate media propaganda designed to denigrate any nation that pursues socialism and harms big US corporation’s profit margins. You’d think you’d get that by now.

A nation with the highest oil reserves can’t sell its oil thanks to Uncle Sam, but they screwed up their economy all on their own. Lol.

yes there was massive human rights abuses…literally people forced to eat pets and zoo animals because leftist stole all the money. They can’t sell their oil becaus their a leftist tyrantical govt

 

[okfine]

Don't forget that country has so many guns in civilian hands their murders and criminal gangs exploded.

A Timeline of Venezuela’s Economic Rise and Fall

The price of oil gave rise to Hugo Chavez. Now it’s brought Venezuela to its knees.

www.bloomberg.com

1992 Venezuela became the 3rd richest nation in this hemisphere.

2001 Voted in first socialist president due to "income inequality."

2004 Private Healthcare is completely socialized.

2007 All "higher education" becomes "FREE."

2009 Socialists banned all private ownership of guns.

2012 bernie Sanders praises their "American Dream."

2014 All opposition leaders are imprisoned.

2016 Food/Healthcare shortages become widespread.

2017 Constitution and elections are suspended.

2019 Unarmed citizens are massacred by own government.

It took one generation of progressive leadership to plunge the country into civil war.

Perfect Progressive Success Story!

Socialism Works!! (Just not as advertised) wink wink. The people who get conned into believing they'll be " better off" after surrendering their right, property and weapons end up having to sell their kids and eat their pets, just so the Progressive political leaders can live large.

Before Chavez and Maduro, I used to believe Pinochet was a bad guy

CARACAS (Reuters) - Venezuela jailed two leading critics of President Nicolas Maduro on Tuesday in a fresh blow to the opposition after the election of a new political body with sweeping powers to strengthen the hand of the leftist government.

About 120 people have been killed in more than four months of anti-government street protests, including at least 10 during Sunday’s vote.

Maduro says the constituent assembly was designed to restore peace to Venezuela. Lopez and Ledezma had called for protests against Sunday’s vote. In addition to rewriting the constitution, the legislative superbody will have the power to dissolve the opposition-led congress, eliminating any institutional check on Maduro’s powers.

Lol. We have lots of corruption and mismanagement.

Sure we have corruption and mismanagement, but thats mostly in government. Thank god for the private sector
which they haven't crushed the soul of yet. that's the problem with socialists, they don't realize that a corrupt centralized system is the worst case. There is no economic diversity and you get what you had with Venezuela

You aren’t informed. American oil companies were raping Venezuela. The people got tired of it and elected a socialist who took over oil production. The USG always comes to the defense of big corporations, since they are owned and control by big corporations. So, they did all they could to foment trouble and harm the Venezuelan economy.

Venezuela sells oil to China, India, several European countries, Singapore, Cuba and Malaysia. Try again.

Explain raping and please provide links.

It’s what big US corporations have done throughout the world, with the help of the USG. Old story. Goes back over one hundred years in some places. You might educate yourself on the subject.

I understand. That's not what I asked. Also, doesn't compare to the systematic genocide of over 100 million people on behalf of leninism, marxism, communism dictates in the 20th century.

I need to argue this with you?

Leninism, Marxism, communism are another story entirely unrelated to what we are discussing. Why would you bring them up?

Cause while Venzuela claims "socialism," it isn't. They are and have been a dictatorship. Yes, like now, greedy corporations align themselves with certain governments that provide slave labor. Like in China, Vietnam, Pakistan, among others now.

I asked for specific links on how American oil companies or any other company "raped" Venzuela to where their economy declined and trade became rather impossible with them.

Be specific and provide links. I provided links and provided a timeline. I left out of the timeline btw how in 1997, Venezuela was the second largest purchaser of F-150s in the world.

Is that an example of the rape you refer to? Again provide links to how American free market caused the fall of Venezuela.

I provided a timeline with links and references.

Venezuela is not a dictatorship. Believing it is means you’ve been duped.

I‘m not interested in educating you. I’m not a teacher. If you don’t know the history of US corporations, that’s on you.

All the wealth was concentrated in the elite friends of the US approved leader. No middle class.

Venezuela's problems did start with the election of Hugo Chavez in 2001. They started long before 1992 as well. Years of rule by miliary juntas.

Military juntas supported by the USG for the benefit of US corporations. Chavez changed that after a time only to incur heinous economic sanctions, constant threats of death and being overthrown by the USG. Much as Cuba has experienced for 65 years.

It’s a very old story repeated numerous times by the USG, but few Americans know anything about this and when told will call you a traitor.
