>“I have assigned a general, along with a civilian-military team, for each food item,” the minister said. “A general or admiral will be chief of rice and will display on a map everything related to production, importation and commercialization.”
>Padrino, in charge of the “Great Sovereign Mission for Sure Supply” project, announced the creation of a special support team with 250 rescue workers and 1,700 community leaders for harvesting crops.
>“With this effort, we seek to really govern the 18 commodities, in both food and medicine,” the general said without specifying which items are included in the 18.
>The minister added that a special commission was established to address the issue of distribution of medical supplies, which has reached a shortage of 81 percent. He said the government will continue not allowing private pharmaceutical to take care of the distribution.
>According to an unreleased report, nine items are at critical levels of raw material supply: sugar, rice, corn flour, mayonnaise, wheat bread, food for pets, cheese, crackers and pasta.
>In July, Maduro decided all state ministries that manage the country’s economy would now fall under the “order and absolute subordination” of Chief General Padrino López.
>The strong military presence involved in the process was rejected by President of Consecomercio Cipriana Ramos, who said he sees flaws in the idea.
Gov planning and distribution is used when the free market option would have caused too many people with zero food, and you can't have that.
It's kind of like Leningrad under siege, you need fully armed soldiers to guard food and distribution.

Someone actually believes this is what Chavista economics over the last 15 years has been about.
Jordan Carter
that's what govs did everywhere during the oil crisis
rationing, limiting, guarding gas stations
Oliver Wood
So your solution to a state imposed emergency is to ration the goods the state has already caused a shortage of?
Justin Adams
Horse meat is goat tier.

they were doing exproprations, which destroyed the market incentives to produce.
either remove expropriations or seize the land and take over production under state companies with gov hired workers.
Nathaniel Scott
>seize the land and take over production under state companies with gov hired workers
Good luck with that. I mean producing cutting edge drugs is just as simple as annexing the local pharma lad and getting a few road sweepers in to mix what few ingredients were left when the original company packed up and fucked off.
Daniel Ramirez

seriously, making aspirine and such is low-tech, old-tech.
basic food production is not rocket science.
Jeremiah Robinson
So why aren't they making it?
Or producing food?

If I didn't love your food so much, and its influence on Tex-Mex, I think I would lynch you.

GENERAL OF CHICKEN REPORTING IN
Tyler Collins
What is the current chicken situation, General? I expect a full report immediately.
Jaxon Johnson
Because they're not real socialists, obviously. This is just further proof that "the market" can't work.
Grayson Johnson
Do you wish you were Colombian yet?
Landon Ramirez
At least we're getting a Chavez Cinematic Universe now, Marvel and DC BTFO.
Oliver Collins
Because Government controls the price on those products and who's going to produce at a loss.
Nathan Miller
So why don't they not control the price?
Owen Carter
can you guys just up and invade brazil or colombia or some shit. i want a nice big war to watch, and the conditions are certainly ripe
Parker Harris
Oh, look, a Venezuelan who understands basic economics. Isn't that a crime over there? Take care, hombre.

Daniel Baker

Juan Nguyen
'Prices' is just a social construct though, just like hunger and other imperialistic buzzwords.
Our previous commie Vice president Arreaza (who only got the job because he's married to Chavez's daughter, rumor has it she cucked him with a Cuban guard once in some "leaked" chats back in 2010 or so) had the brilliant idea last December to stablish a controlled price on eggs; eggs became hard to find, they've started to show up again at a much higher price (some people sell eggs on the street nearby my house, they even got a wireless debit card reader for payments)
Ty senpai, taking care is how you survive here.

Capitalist revolution when? No country should have to ration food without good reason in the current year.
Owen Adams
Sadly at this rate, never. Our opposition is the most neutered thing ever, they can't do a single thing right.
Hooked my phone to post since our regular ISP is banned here.
The one thing our Government does right is making bullshit buzzwords and spam twitter hashtags, what can you expect when our President has an obsession with phallic looking food:
THERE ARE NO HENS ON SIGHT, SIR. PEOPLE ARE EATING COCKS FOR LUNCH.
Top fucking kek, colombians are gonna get some farc commies in their gov now, so nothanks.jpg

How bad is it in Venezuela? Are these reports of no food accurate all over the country? Or is it just for the lower 50% or so?
Landon Sullivan

kek, socialism is a joke
Michael Anderson

Also, niggers.
Bad for 90℅ of the population, you do 6h lines for food, starve, or buy at black market prices (10℅ of the pop can afford that).

Socialism has never happened, nor has Communism.
According to Wikipedia, the definition of Socialism is:
>range of economic and social systems characterised by social ownership and democratic control of the means of production
Definition of Communism is:
>a social, political, and economic ideology and movement whose ultimate goal is the establishment of the communist society, which is a socioeconomic order structured upon the common ownership of the means of production and the absence of social classes, money,[3][4] and the state.[5][6]
Since private property, wages, government, pricing, and markets still exist, then Venezuela is not an example of Socialism (or Communism for that matter).
Sebastian Long
Maduro is turning into the glorious leader Best Venezuela deserves.

I'm not wrong though you tripcuck. I don't agree with Socialism or Communism but the system Venezuela (read: your own fucking country) is under isn't Socialism.

Let's say you want to buy rice/toilet paper/flour etc, which have a regulated price:
You either wait in line for hours on a day, which is determined by the last number of your ID card (ie, mine ends in 8, so Fridays for me) and pray you manage to get it, or buy them from black market at a much, much higher price.
Hyperinflation makes sure you buy less and less of the non regulated stuff each day.
Nolan Carter

Fun fact: Commieshits here avoid saying that Chavez is "dead", they celebrate the 5th of each month as an anniversary of his "sowing"
I wanna get off this wild ride, on the other hand I have a parent fighting cancer and a somewhat autistic sibling, I can't abandon them just like that.

Was a big Chavez fan, but they really fucked it up.
I guess it was inevitable, Friedman was right about everything.

If you all wanna laugh, watch VTV (The govt's main TV channel) here:
I suggest watching it during the late afternoon/night, when they're not showing a distorted dream country where nothing can ever go wrong, you have fun shows such as:
Former Congress President with a mace on his desk speaking nonsense.
Commie Glenn Beck with a Fidel Castro fetish.
Some bald Colombian fuck and some Nigress that make The Young Turks look good.
Reruns of Chavez's tv show.
Nathaniel Gray
Well I hope things get better for you user and that your family dies of something other than starvation.

Thanks, I'll find a way to bail my family out of this disaster and make things better for them.

Jesus! You people see a burn mark in a taco shell and call it proof of Jesus!
Bad Management is Bad Management regardless of what ever lie you tell yourself about the world. At least socialism tries to manage, instead of leaving it up to Casper and his Invisible Hand.
Even Capitalism is stupid because, If you don't have any money, you can't vote with your pocketbook. And even Socialism is stupid, if you set the price of food below the cost of making it, no one will make it.
Management! It's a requirement of all collective action.

I always felt Chavez was a guy you could, like, troll Bush Jr. with, while sipping whisky and making jokes abput Hussein getting beheaded or about Gaddafi getting buttplug fucked by his female security detail.
But i would never have handed him a single penny, even less a whole country.
Pinochet didnt kill innocents, he killed fucking commie scum like yourself faggot.
