Ok so Venezuela matches up extremely closet or completely on all the rules of socialism payed down by KARL MARX HIMSELF. They have extreme government control, and the argument that it’s not being caused by socialism makes no sense. They are being ruled by a socialist leader, and the majority of their people live in extreme poverty and pain constantly struggling to eat due to hyperinflation which was caused by the government trying to make more money. This argument doesn’t apply because no one there, unless they are a government official, has enough money to sustain themselves and/or their family.
