Comments by "Bobby Jones" (@bobbyjones8317) on "Venezuela Rapidly Collapsing Due to Socialism" video.

  1. This video smells of pork. Whats the problem with working people controlling their own destiny? Why do you want the Venezuelan oligarchs to enrich themselves off the hard work of others? I don't want to see everything privatized in Venezuela. That's a terrible idea. Also, you do realize it will be the opposition who is killed if anyone is killed? The military of Venezuela was created by the Bolivarian project. It exists because of the Bolivarian revolution, lol. If it comes down to it, the military will side with Maduro, not the opposition. If Maduro was smart he would also invite Russia to set up a military base in Venezuela, this would give the U.S. second thoughts about doing anything militarily to the country. Listen to me Maduro, if you want to win.

  2. The Traveler The only news you get is from a biased source. Why would I take you seriously? You're an idiot who believes you can reduce everything to "hurrr hurrr durrr socialism!!!!" It pays off to look into things more critically, not just get your news from CNN, lol. "In other words, the current situation in Venezuela is a result, first, of the exchange rate control that was meant to defend the currency against the destabilization attempts of 2002, which themselves were the result of the Chávez’s government’s attack on capitalist class interests. Second, an already relatively fragile exchange rate control became worse in the wake of the oil price declines of 2008 and again in 2014, which made it increasingly difficult for the government to meet the demand for dollars without going further into debt. Third, the opposition’s new destabilization efforts against the Maduro government the day after Maduro’s election in April 2013 and again in early 2014, turned the existing economic volatility into a vicious cycle of inflation, shortages, black market devaluation, and renewed inflation. The situation is thus quite difficult for the government and very frustrating for the population."

  3. The Traveler Not an argument, you failed. All Maduro simply has to do, is nationalize food production and go around killing these Venezuelan kulaks who hoard food and overprice it on the market. Just expropriate the food and distribute with the government and that immediately solves the food problem. People don't have food because of food prices, not because it isn't available, food is there, it's just not being distributed because of the volatile market situation. Food needs to expropriated by the government and distributed to the population.

  4. Rayner Valera More non-arguments. You have to nationalize food production and distribute to the population through the government, if the private owners who control the food production currently have just stopped producing food or are charging insanely high prices on food thus nobody can afford to eat.

  5. The Traveler No argument, no sources, no understanding, you failed.

  6. Rayner Valera Of course some stupid fuck Venezuelan who doesn't even live in the country anymore would oppose socialism and would support business men pillaging the country instead.

  7. Shoregrey You have nothing but assertions and no arguments. Overabundance of food? And yet millions of children go hungry in America and half the food gets thrown away anyways because it doesn't sell on the market. Terrible system. Go eat shit.

  10. Juuso Peltoniemi Cause the food production is controlled by private owners who are sabotaging the economy. Try to scratch beneath the surface more often, rather than just taking everything at face value because you have a stick up your ass about socialism. It's an extremely complex situation in Venezuela and it can't be reduced to just "hurrrr durrr socialism!!!" You look foolish.

  11. A healthy economy that respects private property collapses so often that economists had to come up with the whole term "business cycles"

  16. Rayner Valera Yet you didn't even read it and refute anything in it, lol. You have no arguments. You failed. Why would I only listen to your dumbass story, when over half the country supports socialism. Some moron who doesn't even live in the country isn't going to convince me of shit. Saying "I lived in Venezuela and I think it's bad!" isn't an argument you piece of shit.
