Mexicans, Cubans, Hondurans, Salvadorans, etc. r also fleeing North for better life- food isn't the only thing that makes life worth living.
It's not a secret that Venezuela (and other countries) is in serious crisis, hardly any country could prosper under that harsh sanctions. The difference is that Maduro is willing to fight for better future for his country, and isn't concerned just with his own ass, like some people with "high standards" here.
Venezuela is a shithole with a low IQ bus driver at the top of it and a starving population.
Charisma supreme. Reminds me of Trump calling Africa a shithole, after which he was accused of white supremacy racism. If you don't respect others, you lose their respect too, like France lost its colonies.
can we agree that no form of socialism or communism ever has worked?
No, we can't. Russians were struggling with food shortages after WWI, 40 years later they put a man in the space first. There is no market economy that can do this - trust me, I'm an economist. Hadn't Stalin industrialised SU in the 1930s, Russians would speak German now.
If you don't have enough - India had 10 times higher GDP p.c. than China after WWII. How far did its free market policy get it? Chinese planning on the other hand turned the country into world superpower with explosion in GDP growth.
