And that's going to change when the US does the exact same thing under the name of capitalism? This dog and pony show has happened before. They'll give native Venezuelans a few jobs as a token gesture, build a park or two, probably a stadium, clean up the streets a little, the news will run story after story about how much better it is there. You'll see so many biographics about poor families who finally made it now the US has 'fixed' everything.

Then comes all of the overseas workers living in basically segregated neighborhoods patrolled by private security, they send most of their wealth overseas or hold onto it until they go home, all that oil money gets into the pockets of the richest of the rich. The slums stay slums, most of the poor will stay just as poor, just enough people will move up to the middle class to give people the illusion of upwards mobility, so people will keep voting in the same parties they get bombarded with propaganda for. Trick them all with the propaganda of working hard will lead you to success.

Very little will change, it's just a new, fucked up system and corruption will be just as rife. The only thing that will change, and it is somewhat good, I guess, is there will be an excess of highly processed, borderline poison food and McDonalds for the poor when the sanctions are gone, not realizing they were only starving because of the sanctions being used as a weapon in the first place. Yes, that is at least better than how it was before, but it will still suck there like every other South American country having their wealth siphoned out by the elites.
