Massive blackout affects 70% of Venezuela.

[Virus]

Socialism is awesome. Who needs light, heat, industry and stuff like that anyway? Rolling blackout affects more than half the country.

But in a surprise move, President Maduro gave an honest appraisal and blamed the rampant government incompetence, corruption, mismanagement and the ruling party's crackpot economic theories.

Nah just kidding. It was all the fault of a vast conspiracy lead by America and opposition political parties. (And you know who runs the high echelons of the global economy don't you? Nudge nudge, wink wink. Rhymes with "whose".)

Of course, if capitalists really wanted to make Venezuela look bad all they would have to do is like, nothing, because it's a piece of crap basketcase run by a bunch of ideological idiots and you'd have to be a drug-addled leftist retard like Sean Penn not to see that.

If it wasn't for the US trade ban against Venezuela they'd be a prosperous beacon of light.

Oh, wait...

 

[timhau]

Well, they could always go the traditional route and set quotas on how many saboteurs have to be found and shot.

Oh, wait...

Every time a country comes close to creating the socialist sky kingdom along come the capitalists, imperialists and (Jewish?) bankers to wreck it all and cause bread lines, blackouts, inflation and black markets. Forcing the government to kill millions of spies and saboteurs.

Ah no. I understand your confusion their propaganda really is rather good but when the history is so straightforward there is no real excuse. The guys running Venezuela simply wish to remain in power. Ideology is irrelivant other than the issue that the last coup launched against them was backed by well rather old fashioned capitalists. If the next coup is launched by neo-marxists expect them to get attacked as well.

Ideology is not irrelevant because the economy is being trashed trying to implement it.

No the economy is being trashed trying to eliminate threats to those in power. Remeber Chávez tried to stage his own coup back in the 90s. Upshot is a very practical approach to power.

Yeah and implementing crackpot socialist BS.

Keep believing the propaganda it makes you less likely to end up on watchlists.

Any evidence to support this geni?

No?

Didn't think so, but thanks for parroting the party line!

Always funny when someone gets all offended and plays the "no true socialism" card.

I have to hand it to the Chavez/Maduro regime, wrecking the economy of a major oil producer at these oil price levels is no mean feat.

Oh, wait...

If you try and trade with them they just swipe all your stuff.

Hey,that really worked great for Stalin in preparing the Russian Army for World War 2....

Wow, they might be giving Mugabe some competition in the "How to wreck a countries economy" department.

The 90s coup attempt can be found in all the relivant histories of the area.

So that's why Venezuela's economy is a wreck in 2013?

That is retarded. You'd think they'd be improving the economy, making them more popular and it less likely that someone would want to overthrow them?

It is easier to destroy than to create.
