It's socialism... They tried to tax and confiscate the assets of the wealthy to give free everything to everyone. Education, healthcare, welfare, mass infrastructure projects including a disastrous network of hydroelectric dams which failed to power the country
Many fled the country with what money they had and even if that weren't the case there wasn't enough wealth at the top to support all the spending on social programs. So they started minting money on mass. Hyperinflation occurred and they had to bring in price and capital controls. A country with worthless money and no hard currency can't import anything food, medicine, machinery. So there are shortages and riots and martial law.

Its not real socialism. Real socialism has never been tried. The problem with Venezuelan socialism is human corruption.
Adrian White
That's what happens when your entire governmental policy is powered by wishful thinking.
Capitalism is unequal rewards Socialism is shared sufferings
