South americas meltdown

@jegga said in South americas meltdown:
Venezuela is almost a failed state now, who could have seen that coming?
Oil prices are on the rise but Venezuela’s crude is one of the hardest to refine and Chávez fucked the industry over years ago so even that can’t help them .The deflection on display from those who until very recently held up Venezuela as proof of a socialist utopia is something to behold. They won't admit mistakes or errors, just pretend Venezuela no longer exists.

So how about Brazil's 'Trump'? Naturally msm are portraying him as far-right where as his opposition are just 'left wing workers party'...I mean have we ever had issues with a Socialist workers party in history?
He narrowly missed out on winning election outright and now goes in for a 2nd vote in a couple weeks time.

@No-Quarter Why are they protesting? Do they not understand how they are letting down the Socialist cause? They could be hailed as martyrs for the anti-capitalist dream if they’d only just shut up and die quietly. Instead they’re just embarrassing everybody. It’s always “me, me, me” with them. Fascists.

Trumps already recognised a new leader of Venezuela.
Peopke like Owen Jones have a lot to apologise for locally these guys do too.

I've read some pretty absurd articles from lefties trying to defend socialism re: Venezuela.
One literally said socialism isn't the cause of the problems, the issue was that the government took over all of the largest corporations and mis-managed them.
I'm actually starting to think socialism's biggest advocates have absolutely no idea what it is.

They don’t . They don’t know what capitalism is either.
I’d love to know if it’s actually true that Chavez daughter is worth $ 4 billion. That’s socialism.

They advocate socialism from the comfortable and safe position of a capitalist democracy. People like this don't see themselves as part of the masses who will "benefit" from such a system, but as part of the benign ruling class who will simply replace the previous elite. They are the among the most deluded, poisonous people on the planet.

In a perfect world Owen Jones and Sean Penn would read this
