  6. How come no/little mention of Venezuela's war on private enterprise killing off its own revenue stream and ability to feed itself reducing itself to an oil-dependent country that it somehow found a way to mismanage? ** socialism and anyone who believe in it.

  7.  Hoàng Nguyên  Chile actually prospered under Pinochet. Ditto for Ghana under Rawlings after Nkrumah got overthrown. True, but it doesn't change the fact that countries that sided with the US fared better overall than countries that sided with Russia/China.

Venezuela is a functionally socialist country as the government controls the economy and private enterprise has been all but completely destroyed.
