How 'bout that Socialism folks? Beautiful, ain't it?

Venezuela is down to its last $10 billion

money.cnn.com/2017/03/01/news/economy/venezuela-cash/index.html

you know that this is also because of oil prices dropping, right?

Not real socialism

So is Venezuela more fucked than Brazil? What say you, hue hue's?

>It's another "I don't know what socialism is" thread

Wooo

It's all down to oil prices then right? Norway, Brunei, and Saudi Arabia aren't down to their last 10 billion, so why's Venezuela?

Just goes to show how bad socialism is if one industry can make a country tank

At least there is food in brazil, soon venezuelans will have to either kill every single person in government or turn to canibalism.

Brunei's currency is actually backed by Rolls Royce automobiles

...

It's not real socialism.

Perfect.

And America has negative $20 trillion what's your point?

Intellectual dishonesty: The thread.

The point is they don't have nukes and haven't used said nukes on another country for funzies so the same rules don't apply.

KEK relying on one industry and not even investing in that industry when prices went down instead on muh free shit yea i surre love socialism now :/

What are a couple good examples of socialism working I would be interested to learn, also nice digs my dud

>muh Socialism
>Muh not real socailism

A lot more going on about Venezuelans' economies than their specific decision, dawg. Like, do you even geopolitic?

There are none and never will be one because socialism is garbage.

Basically currency controls and price fixing. When you have to sell at a loss or it makes more financial sense to wait in line for a handout instead of working, you'll see no incentive to produce tangible things like food.

Not real socialism.

Real socialism has never been tried.

Social Security

ha nope

K. Rolls Royce isn't exactly an everyday car. And plus there are alot of other countries on that list. Changing the subject to Brunei economics isn't helping the fact that dumbasses are applauding a government force starving millions and people see nothing wrong with that

Yeah obviously they are worse off, but we are working hard to catch up

I miss Chaves. He literally did nothing wrong, other than dying too early.
The media did a good job making him look like an horrible person though.

saved best gif yet thxs man :)

How are you still alive

Yeah the trading of bread for slave girls or saved spots in bread lines to get more bread. Isn't world economics so interesting

What's it like?

What throws me off is that people aren't allowed to fucking farm for themselves, since food is a state controlled commodity

We're supposed to WANT this?

Social security is alot like the 1982 Civic most Sup Forumsacks roll around in. Sure it works, but it has more to do with the fact it's held together by ductape and shoestrings than it does that it's a functioning car. Social security works because of the people who don't need it being forced to carry the weight. Socialism doesn't work because everyone needs it and no one's there to carry the weight

NEVER let socialism take hold of your country

What's funny is two guys from Venezuela made a video game to get money to escape, only to get trapped because the government labeled them as "culture creators" which put them under watch (and unable to leave).

It's hard to stop when lefty dipshits think socialism is all play and no work. The people who think the USSR was fine are also the people getting bankrolled by someone else already. Convenient

the guy just asked for an example. not really advocating it or anything.

>He literally did nothing wrong
pls die

B-BUT IT WASN'T REAL COMMUNISM

Who are you to argue with a Mexican Intellectual

thxs panama bro :)

Vuvuzelan here, ignore flag. moot banned the main ISP and this is why you don't see many of us here.

Why'd moot ban the main ISP?

> He literally did nothing wrong
Kill yourself fucking chairo.

People using open nodes from this country to spam CP.

es una comedia por cierto se suicido por feo, si no fuera feo como un boliviano la pielmierda no importara en lo aabsoluto

I know Venezuela and US are really different but I fear for Muricans. Even with Trump winning I just think it's a longer game.

In South America the marxist bullshit started going strong after the 50s, but some of it started even before in the 20s. It started first on college campuses, with professors teaching marxist propaganda and recreuiting students. After Castro took Cuba and the money from the USSR started pouring in this became even more strong, Castro not only had college teachers on payroll he was also finance guerrillas and trying to infiltrate the lower branches of the military. Venezuela for example made the mistake of sending our commies to other countries instead of just straight up round them up and shoot them, once our military dictatorship fell, they all came back and seized control of the country (with US support too).

It's funny because before this South America was... kind of fascist... plenty of presidents were fans of Mussolini. But we turned so far to the left that now the "right" in SA is just a bunch of centrists.

We tried to stop it in SA during the Cold War

Better get that fuckin' wall built ASAP.

>when the joke goes way over your head so you continue to argue with someone who clearly isn't taking you seriously

But social security is collapsing. It's a literal ponzy scheme, and it probably won't exist when millennials retire.

Universities are where marxist propaganda spews from here, too (it explains the surge in leftist authoritarians after ~2008 when obongo and co. started pushing young people into going to college and destroying reasonable barriers). However, it can be quelled if we start only allowing certain majors to be elligible for federal financing and require a minimum maintained GPA. It'd solve the student loan crisis to boot.

McCarthyism still lives strong in Americans. (real mcCarthyism not the anti-russian shit)

Yeah I say you guys have a big change, just fucking watch out what it's going on your colleges, fire the professors if necessary, you have self declared communists and anarchists teaching kids. The fucking antifa leader behind the Berkley protests is a middle school teacher!

We had an anti-commie president but he was outed in a coup d etat, Eisenhower didn't like him too much, he was getting too nationalistic and trying to hold power in SA funding projects in other countries through oil money and even asking the US to contribute, 1 year later after this suggestion we had a coup in 1958. Instead the US decided to support our exiled commies and made a deal with them.

I don't really believe the US had an interest of stopping communism in SA or keeping it right wing, it keep existing in moderate forms, it was more about controlling the region as long Bolshevism didn't take hold.

this can't be real

>change
I meant chance*

Most professors have tenure which doesn't allow them to be fired over political beliefs. All we can do is punish it through depriving the classes they teach of federal funding which basically means most young people would no longer be able to afford those classes.
