Venezuela is poor because it only sells one commodity which is controlled entirely by the state. They were poor when Obama was in office, before the sanctions. They were the richest country in Latin America before Socialism.

Venezuela is poor because it only sells one commodity which is controlled entirely by the state.

That commodity is oil, halfwit. Venezuela's economy was booming until Western powers began to get nervous about the massive success of its social programs during the 1970s and conspired to crash the price of oil.

They were the richest country in Latin America before Socialism.

Oh God shut the fuck up you utter clown. The way you lie and distort facts is embarrassing. Venezuela's social programs were a huge success:-

The 1970s were boom years for oil, during which the material standard of living for all classes in Venezuela improved. This was partly due to the ruling AD and COPEI parties' investing in social welfare projects which, because of the government's oil income, they could do without heavily taxing private wealth.[3] "Venezuelan workers enjoyed the highest wages in Latin America and subsidies in food, health, education and transport."[4] However, "toward the end of the 1970s, these tendencies began to reverse themselves."[5] Per capita oil income and per capita income both declined, leading to a foreign debt crisis and forced devaluation of the bolivar in 1983.

Venezuela is poor because it only sells one commodity which is controlled entirely by the state.

2/3 of the economy is private and the rest is state run. It order for it to qualify as "socialist" there needs to be quite a bit of PUBLIC/COLLECTIVE ownership and there is literally none.

They were poor when Obama was in office, before the sanctions.

The sanctions were there before Obama.

They were the richest country in Latin America before Socialism.

They were never socialist, they simply had enough public programs to worry the capitalists enough to start economically sabotaging them.

Side: No
