Over the last several years we have documented with clockwork regularity Venezuela's collapse into failed state status, which was cemented several weeks ago when news hit that "Venezuela had officially run out of money to print new money." At that point the best one could do was merely to step back and watch as local society and civilization turned on itself, unleashing what would ultimately turn into Venezuela's own, sad apocalypse.
As we wrote then these are simply hungry Venezuelans protesting that their children are dying from lack of food and medicine and that they do not have enough water or electricity. As AgainstCronyCapitalism added, this is a country with more oil than Saudi Arabia, and the government has stolen all the money and now they bottleneck peaceful protesters and threaten them with bombs (or haul them to prison and torture them).
He was a bus driver, and he's had a good few years to play with his country, Trudy's not even finished his first year.
Let's look at Canada in a few years after all of the oil money is gone and then we can judge whether dank weed man or dank bird talker man is a worse leader.

REAL SOCIALISM HAS NEVER BEEN TRIED BEFORE
Daniel Anderson
The beauty of socialism
Caleb James
how much of this is chavez's fault
I know nothing about the country
Adam Allen
the current leader literally claimed a little bird told him how to run the country the bird was chavez's ghost
Adrian Wright
>They felt the bern >Are they trying to imply muh real socialism isn't at fault here?
Well said.
Ethan Parker
Yep
Gavin Wilson
daily reminder, maduro endorsed bernie for president
Henry Bell
Why hasn't bernie been arrested yet? That kike doesn't deserve the be living quite frankly
Luke Rivera
>shit skins dying of starvation. .
I fail to see the issue here
Brody Watson
Again, HOW BAD AT MATH, DO YOU HAVE TO BE, to be an OIL PRODUCING COUNTRY, AND BE BROKE?!
Christian Morales
The commie leaders stole billions from the oil reserves. Venezuela is kill
Brayden Jackson
venezuela, 1950. 4th highest gdp per capita in the world
At least the truck driver has the knowledge and experience that comes with doing hard work
Noah Garcia
Socialistically bad.
Jose Perez
That's clearly a reference to a user name or website you stupid fucks.
Chavez did most of the legwork over his last decade but mr. bus driver is a turboretard.
Ryan Taylor
he """""worked""""" as a bus driver means he was involved in the bus drivers union which is how he got into politics. He probably doesn't even have a drivers license.
>Durante su labor como conductor, inicia su carrera política al convertirse en un sindicalista no oficial que representaba a conductores de autobuses del Metro de Caracas.29
Alexander Watson
More proof that socialism kills.
Christ, if I lived there I would high tail it into the mountains and live life as a grizzly man. Eating bugs and washing in mud would give you a better quality of life than communism/socialism.
Jayden Flores
I hope we at least get to see cool combat footage like in Syria
Joshua Collins
are you a retard? 100%. mr busdriver only has like 3 years, it was the previous decade that cemetned the corruption, giving away oil to poor for pandering, (pander to nearby cunts' socialist parties as well as cuba) his daughter has a networth of 4 billion and lives in new york, that should give you an idea
Asher Cooper
Capitalism killed Venezuela, guys. Read a book.
Justin Reed
Guys pls, I don't support Bernie but please don't compare him to these banana republic orangutans
Jaxson Scott
MUH REAL SOCIALISMM
Julian Rivera
When will Columbia BUILD WALL between you and Venezuela?
Samuel Diaz
Or you could just go to Colombia, right now we're motherfucking Switzerland in comparison to them
Samuel Kelly
Never, because we actually trade a lot with them.
Venezuela will collapse, a new government will emerge and they will start rebuilding the country. In the meantime there should be good business opportunities
Aaron Bailey
You can trade with us instead, lets conquer Venezuelan and split the land, let's also take Central America just for the lulz
Anyone with any brains left that shithole a long time ago. The only people left to even rebuild anything are either poorly educated due to the intellectual hemorrhage that's been going on for the past 20 years or people deep into thug culture possible due to the government's negligence (and this is the millenial generation who have known of only Chavez' government).
Wealth disparity causes clashes with the classes. You can make an argument over whether it's morally right or not to let the top 5% control everything but in South America the average citizen is a retarded farmer who has no ambitions yet want riches for doing simple work. Because of this you see multiple coups (often military) that switch between full-blown communism to full-blown facism, depending on what's in power at the time. Democracy doesn't work in South America.

This will be Europe in 20 years if not sooner.

>tfw a friend from venezuela tells me his daily life
>TL;DR translation >firend tells me that the situatios is so shit that it would end up like zimbabwe >government has stolen so much money from companies that nobody wants to invest on venezuela >he is lucky if he gets to eat twice a day >i tell him to run to chile or arg >a plane ticket is so expansive that he would need to work without eating for two years >tell him that he has a clear goal, contact a friend form chile >that would not be soon
iv'e known him from like almost 5 years ago, im thiking of sending him some supplies and computer stuff since his e8400+hd 5450 computer is dying
Jordan Brooks
Wonderful vision of the future under Comrade Bernie.
Andrew Powell
Can he not even get a boat or something out of the country? Also what is up with that flip flop between spanish and english?
Ayden Reyes
And how is this America's fault?
Come on, loop it back around. Uncle Sam has to be responsible somehow.
Carson Richardson
because he lurks Sup Forums too a lot from years ago so we are used to talk in memes so long (and i hope he doesnt see this thread btw)
and yes, i have told him that too, but idk what is holding him, we both know a friend from chile that can help him so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Julian Wright
fuck him they fucked up their country not gonna let them come fuck ours even worse.
Stay and fix that shit.
Lincoln Brown
>chavez >super cancer
Connor Miller
This is why we need to built the wall ASAP. Venezuela will disolve in the next few months and millions of them will come pouring across the border... and they'll instantly start voting for the dems/socialists again. fucking morons. what a stupid goddamned country. all that oil to exploit and they fucked it up. lets get that fucking wall built.
Juan Bennett
why dont chile and arg build a wall that separates them from the rest of the shithole that is south america
Cooper Smith
Its the peoples fault. Everyone knows Chavez fucked it up but if he were still alive the fucktards there would vote for him again.
Owen Morales
Chile is an island and the argentinian wall is coming soon
Juan Collins
This is 100% the fault of Chavez and his ilk.
Charles Collins
That depends on the color of his skin. If he's white, he needs help, if he's brown, he's part of the problem.
Hunter Rodriguez
I don't know how it's possible to have the best oil in the world and still fuck up so bad.
Joseph Evans
Source on the wall?
Luke Williams
> the government has stolen all the money
No, the government spent all the money on welfare programs
William Davis
>blaming someone even though he's dead
Yeah fuck off.
Gabriel Morris
The Bern Rises
Caleb Richardson
This your future with Bernie Kikers well... if he goes all commie
Jacob Wilson
easier to get rope around drama teacher's neck
Christian Diaz
actually their oil has high sulfur
Sebastian Garcia
This is filled with Paraguayan, Bolivian and Peruvian illiterate indians having children by the dozen and you worry about college educated legal migrants from Venezuela?
Evan Evans
b-but r-real s-socialism hasn't been tried!
Jason Cox
fuck off you know the good ones will end up in the USA and we'll get the socialist shitter niggers that wreck countries.
Ian Rivera
I'm still waiting for Maduro to keep his promise and invade Brazil
I want something to make living in this continent interesting
Lucas Harris
This. Venezolanas are hotter, too.
John Hernandez
Can someone summarize how/why this is all happening?
Kayden Clark
It's just the end result of socialiism.
Tyler Sanchez
THIS IS THE FUTURE OF USA
WAKE UP ASSHOLES
THIS IS OUR FUCKING FUTURE RIGHT HERE IN JEWMURICA
Ryan Lopez
I don't get it, the citizens outnumber the government like 100000:1, guerrilla warfare could easily pick off the army, or target the families of politicians by burning them alive to send a message.
Kayden Williams
>Can someone summarize how/why this is all happening?
>Chavez gets into power >FREE GIBS >No investment in the future, allows state oil company to go to seed. >"Oil is doing good, and it will always do good." >Oil prices collapse >Venezuela is kill.
Aiden Bailey
8 years ago they were claiming that it was a great example of democratic socialism. Funny how a little dip in oil prices can absolutely destroy shitty economic systems. Hopefully Saudi Arabia will be next.
Josiah Reed
Venezuela was very wealthy. A portion of the population stayed poor and lived in shanty towns. But a lot of the poor now in that country aren't even Venezuela. There are Colombians, Peruvians, heck there are even Haitians.
Nathan Turner
maduro fucked venezuela to the end
i dont know how can a person be like that?
i think he is a US puppet to fuck the country up
the good things i will do if i were a country leader
Isaiah Ward
long story short communism happened
It'd take pretty long to explain everything but basically the country literally ran out of money
True Capitalism at its worst has options and redundancy. Venezuela has one chokepoint with fifty bureaucrats standing on the hose. If you will, the immediate issue isn't socialism per se but centralization (but recall that modern socialism was cooked up by the British ruling class to trick people into embracing centralization).
Zachary Morris
how is that new guy doing?
what are his plans for brazil?
do you think he is just another US puppet?
good that bitch dilma got suspended
Luis White
Compare Europe: all the media and education is brainwashing about how weak and isolated you are.
Chavez takes farm land from farmers and wealthy farm owners. Gives it to poor people who can't farm. So, now the land isn't producing. Venezuela is a food growing country and had to recently important flower for baking because nothing is producing in that land I mentioned. Inflation begins. A few other things I can't remember.
Everything becomes expensive. They ran out of toilet paper a while back. My uncle who owns a business can't leave the country because the bank there has frozen assets. Not that there's anyone buying anyway.
So what you are seeing is like the end of communism in 1989. But they didn't have the real communism.
Joshua Harris
>all those poor families who would probably sell their cutie virgin daughters for a few 100 USD and a jeep ride across the nearest border >country is too violent and dangerous to go there to do this
What a cruel outcome.
Sebastian Wright
E can build a wall and Venezuela can pay
Samuel Wood
i cant believe that most south americans countries are shit crime ridden countries
why?
why dont they work to become good?
most of them have valuable resources yet they are shit
Jack Thomas
>At least the truck driver has the knowledge and experience that comes with doing hard work PFFFFFFFFHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA No
Robert Cox
EVERYTHING.
Henry Lopez
I support this.
Matthew Walker
>i cant believe that most south americans countries are shit crime ridden countries
How long will your electricity last?
Jackson Allen
The great "power"of Marxist ideas, m8.
Michael Howard
That's true.
Angel Reyes
No, fuck off.
Ayden Phillips
>Can someone summarize how/why this is all happening?
Well, there is this thing that white people invented called modern civilization. Venezuela is the results of brown people trying to emulate white people and create a civilization all on their own with no training wheels.
As you can see, the results are disastrous.
Cameron Evans
Ah no. They SAID they did it. But most of the money was just stolen.
Robert Hughes
>Congolombia >Building a wall That would be so good so no one gets out
Drug war would be over
Leo Scott
Marx.
Jayden Morales
Chili did. So did Uruguay. I`ve seen Monte-video. I actually dreamed of falling in love with a hot Uruguyan woman and moving there. A man can dream cant he
Evan James
He hasn't really done anything impactful yet since he became president yesterday,but he's already created a new plan to attract foreign companies to the country called PPI,which is going to work kind of like the Chaebols in South Korea from what i could get out of his speech
Thomas Garcia
>Oil prices collapse Also this meme has to die. We were quite fucked already before the price of oil dropped.
Jackson James
Again: Marx
Hunter Ross
>implying that the workers own the means of production in Venezuela
Third world "marxism" is a fucking joke. Simply wanting welfare is not a revolutionary thought.
Jose Butler
literally because the USA stopped backing Fascist dictators
