  2.  @foxival5150  So do communists with Cuba being a prime example.

  3.  @andrescosetti927  Cambodia is not doing well and is one of the poorest countries in the world. <but the Anglo kind was certainly not better.> Tell that to Canada, USA, Australia, New Zealand, Singapore and Hong Kong.

  4. The Gulf is not all that capitalist.

  5. US sanctions are not responsible for Venezuelan government's ineptitude and corruption.

  6.  @leoptn9969  <it's just guyana the problem.> Mayotte says BONJOUR!

  7. What sanctions? They didn't come until well after Venezuela collapsed and Bush Jr. was long gone from office.
    1
  8. And the solution is what? What Eastern Europe used to have?
    1
  9. Hardly. Venezuela's all-out war on private enterprise did most of the real damage.
    1
  10. Like the Ethiopian immigrants?

  11.  @KeithHinch  Only to be sent right back to poverty once the oil money dried up with no private sector around because Chavez and Maduro price-controlled and nationalized them to ruin. < Free health care, free education etc. This is the best way to provide for the people.> Not with a barely existent private sector and an economy dependent on a resource prone to steep price-drops. By the way, free health care existed long before Chavez.

  12.  @georgedelanoy9548  The spelling. The place you're referring to is spelt with an I, not Y as Guyana is an independent country that was once a British colony.

  13. France's winters are nowhere nearly as brutal as Eastern Europe's.
    1
  14. Not nearly as much as they're trying to save face and maintain a good image.

  15.  ThestormyChair  Khrushchev gave the Soviet Union its best years. <You don't even know what communism is, > Actually yes he/she does unlike you. And its 107-year record of tyranny and misery is all that needs to be known.

  16.  @williamrockwell9705  2 of the 3 countries have leftist leadership.

  17. They're being killed, because they don't have the numbers or weapons to defend themselves.
    1
  18.  @timmytrimble4069  No. Cuban government oppression.
    1
  19.  @roccocalderone6868  Because Chavez didn't bother to re-invest in the oil industry and just used the revenues to buy votes.
    1
  20. Exactly.
    1
  21. Not really. Maduro is Cuba and China's puppet.
    1
  22. Just look at the Black community.
    1
  23.  @jeffreyrediel  Pretty much.
    1
  24. Are you trying to say that only rich self-indulgent douchebags are allowed to reproduce?
    1
  25. Like Greece?
    1
  26. How so? Spain has too many old people.
    1
  27. Only after Nyerere had the decency to step aside after bankrupting the country.
    1
  28. Communism only works for elites.
    1
  29.  @ionezgb  So what was Soviet imperialism about?
    1
  30. Rich in resources but poor in human development.
    1
  31.  @manicdemise  <If people try to trade with Venezuela even much needed goods the US will confiscate them> No. That would be the Venezuelan military and border guards as Maduro imposes tariffs and import bans. Food and medicine are exempt from sanctions.

  32. Well, this is what they voted for. Free stuff from the government >>>>>>>>>>> self-sufficiency.
    1
  33. Fat chance!
    1
  34. Apparently.
    1
  35. But it sure beats communism like the one North Korea has in which its migrant workers get next to nothing while Kim Jong-Un and company keeps all the money.
    1
  36. Just ask Somalia or modern-day Haiti.
    1
  37. For what?
    1
  38.  @KeithHinch  US sanctions didn't start until 2017. Venezuela's collapse started in 2014. Venezuela destroyed much of its private enterprise and domestic production during the oil boom and Chavez's last years alive.
    1
  39.  @KeithHinch  LOL. What advances? All they did was throw money made from the oil boom at the poor while letting infrastructure crumble and decimating all the country's other sources of income en route to making Venezuela oil-dependent. The only people who support Chavez and Maduro either work for the government or live on handouts from the government.

  40. Women are an extension of men. Put her on a boat too.

  41.  @BigCC16  Namely Alberta.
    1
  42. Yes he was. And a former member of a far-left party his replacement currently leads.
    1
  43. Nope. Just socialism running its natural course.
    1
  44. The US does not owe Cuba anything. And this situation is due to 60+ years of Cuban communist mismanagement.
    1
  45. So you can do to them what King Leopold did to the Congo. LOL
    1
  46. Due to pride. And then they have the nerve to complain about immigrants taking their jobs away.

  47. Better yet, pay tax for a service you're not allowed to benefit from in your time of need.
    1
  48. <Staying away from parents is not the definition of freedom and independence.> But at some point, you're going to have support yourself without your parents' help.
    1
  49. The same useless public-sector jobs that crippled the country's finances.
    1
  50. That's not saying much. Especially when China was too busy being everybody from England to Japan's *****.
