There is a reason why The Purge movies are so popular here. We want to murder these people.

It puts warm meal on his table and roof over his head and he’s not toiling himself away in some shitty manufactury while inhaling poisonous glue and risking having his limbs cut off by a machine. Good for him.

Venezuela is a warning for socialists, but not in the way people usually say. It was one of the wealthiest latam cunts until the sanctions hit and we convinced OPEC to tank the price of oil.
Venezuela is what happens if you try to take a peaceful, electoral approach to socialism. Their bourgeoisie are still alive, still rich, still powerful. Their interests are still at odds with the bolivarian project, and so they hoard, burn food, lie, lynch chavistas, and invite burger coup attempts every decade on average.

The rich must be eliminated, either by expropriation or by the bullet. Then the way is clear for change without internal sabotage. The rich are legitimately not like you and me, and they know it even if you don't. They will always work for their own interest. That interest is your slavery.

Was Chavez at fault for putting all Venezuela's eggs into the oil basket then? Obviously it was the best option to nationalize it, but would you say they sacrificed other industries?

Oil is what they have, it was always a precarious situation but I wouldn't even really call it a choice. Trying to use oil wealth to build an advanced economy was the only path they had OUT of the resource trap. The gulf is in the same situation, and some of them are beginning to make the transition.

People who criticize the Venezuelan plan for relying on the price of oil lose sight of how poor venezuela was before chavez- they couldn't build a healthy diverse economy without first feeding people and teaching them how to read. They had a pit to climb out of, and just the world's largest oil reserves to do it with.

It might be possible to criticize on some more specific grounds, maybe they could have diversified more quickly. I don't know enough to say.

But I will point out the drop in oil prices was not a "natural" market movement, it was a US planned Saudi kamikaze attack designed from the beginning to be an act of economic war against Russia and venezuela. The Saudi economy isn't going to survive it, that's half the reason they invaded Yemen. But they're a monarchy, they can easily make moves which destroy their country, they don't even really care everyone who matters can move to switzerland.

So if you do characterize it as a mistake by Chavez it's the same original mistake again- failing to plan for the treachery of the wealthy.

What did you mean by 'I....got conditioned'?

I agree with where you are going. The wealthy who sold out venezeula are then are citizens trying to keep their place at the top, or the international oil community who was ready to watch them burn?

And how could neither chavez and maduro see this coming?

They are both. The wealthy Venezuelans keep their place by siding with the international bourgeoisie, just like the compradores in colonial China.

I don't know why Chavez and Maduro didn't see this coming. Maybe they knew the risks but just didn't think they could afford to go full revolution? If so they were foolish, they might have failed, or triggered an invasion, but the rich were always going to flip the table at some point anyway. Maybe they thought they could buy time like this. But there is also a frustrating portion of socialists who simply don't get class contradictions, who think rich people will sit by and allow you to vote away their cheap labor. They might have really believed they could reform the system.

I will say it's possible things could come to open war in Vz and the chavistas then WIN. They have a huge numerical advantage and a clear reason to fight. In that case we might end up saying Chavez and Maduro made their case to the people, rode it as long as they could, and demonstrated to the world that they had no choice but to fight. Maybe that's the idea.
