Venezuela is just U.S. without Welfare

Since Maduro has popular support for reelection:
>are the starving just welfare queens?
>Venezuela just can't afford to keep giving gibs
>so, they become feral instead of working for food?
I am very curious since I doubt we will ever get any accurate reporting about it.

self-bump
>i guess everyone is busy gossiping about Sargoy...

The U.S doesn't have a monomaterial economy like Venezuela, trusting all your money in only one thing (oil) it's not a very American thing.

why does maduro have enough support for re-election? starvation must only affect a minority of the population.
>so, if the US stopped giving food stamps, wouldn't that be the same thing?

I don't know, it's very hard to talk loud when you don't have any guns. A Lot of them starve, and no one of them can do anything but escape. Protect the 2nd amend, dude.

>A Lot of them starve
is that due to a lack of money, or do they have money but just no food to buy?

There Is nothing, no food, no toilet paper, no products, and also they don't have money, their malls are empty and prices are high, they are fucked and not near the U.S in anuncio way.

>There Is nothing
then how can he win reelection?
>if everyone is starving then he simply wouldn't win

>implying it will be a fair election and not completely rigged

He is going to cheat, he has the army and the opponent politicians don't, it's obvious that it's not going to be a fair election.

you can say that about any election anywhere in the world though.
>Muh RUSSSSIA!!!

Intervening Is not rigging, foreign powers always meddle in political affairs but can't directly force the voters to decide for something good for that state, the own state however can rig an election because they can force the voters directly.

OP is right. Venezuela IS just U.S. without welfare.

So OP, I have half a loaf of moldy bread, and it can be yours for two nights with your daughter. If you let me nut up her nose I'll throw in a freshly caught rat.

>So OP, I have half a loaf of moldy bread, and it can be yours for two nights with your daughter.
how is this any different than Americans on welfare suddenly not having welfare?

ok. so what could be gained from new leadership? if they are so poor wouldn't their only option be kowtowing to the U.S.?

Because America wasn't run into the ground by socialist policy so it has food to steal and guns to tote, and the invalids will get themselves killed a lot faster.

The pro-venezuela shills tend to cite the dip in the oil price as the sole thing that killed venezuela, but norway, saudi arabia and the united states (also oil economies) are still standing strong as ever after the dip.

that doesn't make any sense. If Venezuela has no food, then what would a change in leadership do at all?
>If there is no food, then why isn't the ENTIRE population against him. it seems like it's only the fringe poor that are affected.

Turning it around worked for Pinochet.

But yeah, 'popular support' means nothing in a banana republic

How do you know if anything is a "Banana Republic"? What I mean is what makes "Maduro is hitler" any different than the hysteria of "Trump is hitler".
>media narratives and propaganda don't exist anymore?

>Turning it around worked for Pinochet.
Didn't he get assassinated?

yeah, but only after he willingly left specifically on the grounds that he would not be persecuted, only for the morally superior leftists to go back on their word immediately.

you get a banana republic when democracy is an illusion and your leaders are actually pre-determined. Rule of thumb: If you've disarmed the population so you can arm loyalists to gun down dissenters, you're openly a banana republic. Obama administration tried to make America into a banana republic but got BTFO and may well go to prison.

the "economic miracle" they called it, because socialists cannot fathom how anything outside of their utopian model that has never worked, could work. Ergo if it works and it's not socialism, it's an 'act of god'

Pinochet lost then...
>leaders are actually pre-determined
so every modern democracy. every democracy have their leaders pr-chosen by the elites that can afford to advertise them.
You really only get 1 to 3 real options in any democracy, and they HAVE to be puppets or else they wouldn't get the money to win.

lol. just like Nazi Germany.
>Amazing! They incentivized labor, and people started working. Shock!

Trump wasn't favored by the elites and only spent like a tenth of what Clinton (favored by the elites) spent.

Most money wins has been debunked.

...

Venezuela is Sweden without welfare and that's a reality in a few years, probably sooner. You see, debt doesn't pay itself off automatically and money doesn't grow on trees.

venezuela need huge american dicks

Nationalist Socialism is the only socialism that has ever had any merit.

How many men have you killed for your internet?

I know very little about how the German economy worked back then. I assume "National Socialism" is similar to modern day.
>state-controlled capitalism.

>Without welfare

Your Monopoly papers have more value than the bolivar, the biggest scam of the century and of course socialism isn't to blame.

the value of their currency doesn't matter if nobody has currency, so how is that any different then just not have welfare?

The country is dysfunctional at this point, just the army is holding Maduro.Have you check the Petro (cryptocurrency)?

That's the last shot of Maduro I believe.
