NYT: The Problem With Venezuela Is Too Much Capitalism
David Strom 8:00 PM | July 30, 2024
   
The New York Times has diagnosed the real problem with Venezuela.

After a few years of blissful socialism, it has succumbed to the evils of capitalism, turning the country into a capitalist hellscape.
 

They literally put that in a NEWS story as if it were a fact, not an absurd opinion. Experts tell us so.


No matter how much you hate the media, you don't hate them enough.

Seriously. I am not joking at all about that. The media exists for no other reason these days than to brainwash people.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

This is very typical of socialist when their policies fail. Everything gets blamed, but the policies themselves

Many times, instead of admitting that their policies didn’t work and  abandoning them , they double down on those failed policies

I have little interest in streamlining government or in making it more efficient, for I mean to reduce its size. I do not undertake to promote welfare, for I propose to extend freedom. My aim is not to pass laws, but to repeal them.

  • The problem with everything is they try and make it better without realizing the old way is fine.

Under capitalism, pets get fat. Under socialism, people have to eat their pets.

They resist every impulse to fight back, knowing the forced and permanent change of life that will come from it. They know, that the moment they fight back, their lives as they have lived them, are over. -Alexander Solzhenitsyn

If Socialism is so wonderful in Venezuela, why are so many Venezuelans desperate to escape to the United States?
