  3. Why are the Whiteys using Venezuela? Why not use Europe?

    The Whiteys hate sensible healthcare systems because it means negroes will have access to it.

    So tell us how East Germany, Poland, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, Albania and Yugoslavia were doing before they gave up socialism when the Soviet Bloc dissolved.

    They were generally a very nice place for people inherently conservative in nature.

    You better take a closer look at which side of the political spectrum socialism and communism reside on.

    I said conservative in nature. Happy as pigs in shit they were knowing what the rules were, feeling safe, jobs assigned, all very regulated and uneventful. You know why these countries were famous for sarcastic jokes about the system? Because people of the liberal nature trapped there fucking hated it.

    Arguably, one side being idealistic starts the ball rolling but it was conservative nature people cemented it. Of course the nature / nurture aspects were better blended than modern US.

    "On the whole, the research shows, conservatives desire security, predictability and authority more than liberals do, and liberals are more comfortable with novelty, nuance and complexity"

    95 percent of Venezuelans live in poverty, but only 76.6 percent live in EXTREME poverty, so there's that. Welcome to a socialist paradise and the progressives vision of our future.

    More than 75 percent of Venezuelans now living in extreme poverty

    More than 75 percent of Venezuelans are now living in extreme poverty, according to a new study published on Wednesday, Reuters reported.

    The 2020-2021 National Survey of Living Conditions found that the percentage of Venezuelans living in extreme poverty rose by nearly 10 percentage points from last year, the wire service noted, from 67.7 percent last year to 76.6 percent this year.

    Roughly 95 percent live in poverty when only looking at income levels, according to the study, run by researchers from Andres Bello Catholic University, which surveyed 14,000 households in 21 of the country’s 23 states between February and April.

    Among the factors contributing to such dramatic poverty include fuel shortages, COVID-19 and not enough job opportunities.

    "It is the absence of opportunities," Pedro Luis Espana, a sociologist from Andres Bello Catholic University who worked on the report, told Reuters. "It is sitting in front of the door of the house, doing nothing, not because you do not want to do anything, but because there is nowhere to do it."

    The report comes as the country is mired in political and economical crisis, which includes shortages of critical supplies like medicine and food, hyperinflation, and a lack of power, according to the BBC.

    Some argue that the mismanagement of the country’s economy is to blame for the conditions, Reuters noted.

    The administration of President Nicolás Maduro has pointed the blame on U.S. sanctions for the reasoning behind the country’s predicament.

    However, the U.S. has also continued to give financial assistance to the country, including a recent contribution of $336 million in humanitarian and economic assistance. According to the State Department, the U.S. has given more than $1.9 billion in financial assistance to the country since 2017.

    Did you know that a maduro is a type of banana? When your country is run president banana..

    Venezuela is a chew toy, just a proxy cold war zone. The only reason it didn't collapse years ago and have been rebuilt by now has been China and Russia plus Iran and others using it to annoy everyone.
