The problem was more that the country had LITERALLY no economy outside of "buy our oil please". And when the oil price dropped due to the introduction of fracking and better relations with the Arabs, this entire thing we seeing right now was inevitable. It might have been a little less severe without great welfare spendings, but the end result would've been the same.

The lesson to learn from Venezuela is not that "socialism is bad", but rather "you got to diversify your bonds, nigga".

But that extreme overreliance on crude exports only intensified under the Chavistas. The Sauds aren't flying high, but they also aren't socialist paradise level fucked.

It's clear to all except Marxist apologists that VNZ planning failed exist outside of the moment or mitigate the present disaster, as other oil-producing nations have.

Did this shit game ever get more content? It was alright but shallow as fuck.

Except this is vidya

I do...

That depends on whether a freer market might have diversified or not. If it were, then it would be a cautionary tale against such planning.

Again, the problems were inevitable, because VNZ has nothing but oil.
They have to import everything.

Naturally heavily subsidizing and assisting the poor is going to increase public spending, this is obvious. However, even limiting your expenses, if you lose your ONLY source of income, you're fucked, regardless of what you spend your money on.

And if you do not spend your money on your people, you're an awful government anyway.

I am requesting the original comic so I can compare it to this one as well as the Garfield one for fun.

I haven't seen the original on forever.

Do you really believe this? That VNZ's situation was inevitable because of oil dependence?

We have other oil dependent nations, without Chavez style hypercentralized planned economies. The end result is NOT the same. Stop saying that it is. I know you're lying, it's plain to see. And stop trying to center the debate around welfare programs instead of the tremendous failure of the so called "21st century socialism."

Government planning, enacted through heavy and direct regulation of industry combined with poorly managed monetary policy, was all-in-all a detriment to the Venezuelan nation., putting them below their once-great potential, certainly below their peers.

...

These other countries could afford to sell their oil at a lower prize. VNZ could not, for reasons you have mentioned in your post. Namely "important people being bad at managing money".

It's weird that you're acknowledging this, but still insist that this is a singular and unavoidable event, since to even the casual observer this appears to be a recurring theme surrounding Marxist regimes.

is there anything in communism that says it's a good idea to price fix?

I WANT TO MARRY STREAM-CHAN!

This is approaching "real communism" level delusion, friend. A planned economy is ubiquitous with Socialist ideology. I have no problem at all equating one to the other.

>ask a yes or no question
>receive mouth foaming

The problem with Marxists is that they are forced to involve themselves with a system they actively oppose and therefore probably do not know much about.
Case in point: Chavez is a soldier who studied political science.
The people in charge of planning the economy are not competent at doing such a thing.

Like the entire point of communism is to replace the supposed evils/failures of capitalism. Letting the prices float is pretty close to ideologically opposed to communism.

well i was asking because that's clearly what fucked up, there was plenty of money to buy what people needed, just not anything that anyone needed because the government price fixing pushed out producers.
as far as man-made famines come, the hue's have one of the dumbest.

Read it again, I did in fact answer your question. Personally, I don't think it was THAT impassioned of a reply, either.

I think it might be more than that. There's a culture of incompetence and corruption in nearly every government. Look at private industry and active militaries. You can complain about corporate culture in capitalism and the fuckhead morons who somehow rise to the top in militaries around the world, but I wouldn't hesitate for a second to say they are both far more able in their day-to-day operation then even the most transparent civil governments on the planet.

I think that has to do with a sink or swim mentality between the two. If your business runs out of money, and you can't pay your bills, you go hungry. If an army runs out of money, and they can't buy what they need, they get killed. When a government runs out of money, they raise taxes. There's a point at which that stopgap measure stops working.
