tbf the gulf states are largely built on the backs of quasi-slave labor.
There are better examples you could present for capitalist petro-states
Great article that I read the other day about how the Venezuelan government arrested, then shook down a businessman for providing toilet paper to his workers

Asher Bell

Lincoln Gomez
ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?
Luke Reyes
Yeah, it only works in countries that can afford enormous tax sinks, and even then it's not an improvement over the free market system.
Ryan Butler
Venezuela wasn't real socialism. Countries like Sweden is real socialism. Pay no attention to the demographics of the two countries. That's racist.
Jason Kelly
jeez, calm down you turds. I simply didn't know.
Carter Stewart
It had its whole economy centrally planned (planned by government) on just oil.
Oil tanked and now they're fucked.
Other oil dependent states don't hurt as much (Russia for example) because they are diverse enough to not become a failed state when the price of oil tanks.
Oh and Venezuela was a corrupt shithole that really didn't manage their oil wealth properly to begin with... They were only an acceptable state because they had so much oil.
Carson Williams
>socialism works oh shit we ran out of money
That's precisely the problem with socialism/communism. Good lord they are dumb.
