And underlining the tragic and completely avoidable of the situation, Venezuela is or was a massive oil producer.DerekJohnson said:
That's a fair question and I'm going to assume you sincerely want a thoughtful answer. Money there is now worth nothing. The idea that Venezuela has basically become a barter economy has my deep sympathy. It sounds like a hell-on-earth type of situation.2001400ex said:Question. What's your fascination with Venezuela?

Socialism doesn't fucking work. It just doesn't and never will. When people know the government is going to seize most of their shit and re-distribute it if they become successful, there's no incentive for anyone to be successful, and everyone becomes a failure.

Yes I was sincerely asking. I do chuckle at how people take it as a model that liberals in America want to follow. Then ignore the places that are capitalistic, like India, that are awful as well, just for different reasons.DerekJohnson said:

Yes. While a few big cities have American money flowing in. Overall people are just as poor as Venezuela. I can list other free market countries that are just as fucked.DerekJohnson said:

They have areas where poverty is worse than Venezuela. But it's comparing apples to mangoes. India is positioned to do some big things in the years ahead.2001400ex said:

Nice use of the word mangos. When I was in India, we were given "fresh" mangos, said the were yummy. There's so much pollution, they literally tasted like smog smells.DerekJohnson said:

Socialism is awful, no one* wants a truly socialistic society. But the point is, a truly free market isn't any better. Just a different method of achieving the same result.
*You know what no one means. Yes you might find a couple people who have zero power that want a socialism. So go fuck yourself. -
