@TheTerminator-2 ROFL. Your comment is funny.
I'm not superior, I just know that "Socialism" has never worked, as anyone who has cared to spend more than a few minutes examining the subject does. Yes, “Socialism”'s got some "nice" ideas, but the reality is that it doesn't account for human nature, so falls apart very quickly as a result.
Funnily enough, Academic Agent did a video on this just the other day: https://youtu.be/pK_CgcHrgNA
Summary: Start with a healthy capitalist economy, take control of the productive industries and replace the key people with political cronies (as opposed to people who know what they are doing).
Massively increase government spending and corruption.
Implement price controls and "land reforms", which lead to a collapse of agricultural output, empty shelves and starvation. (Just like in USSR, China, Zimbabwe).
Implement further controls, usually by force, resulting in hyper-inflation, while blaming external actors for all the countries woes...
He's also done a video on Zimbabwe, which, while not exactly the same, has many common elements.
Finally, the comment about Saudi Arabia pumping oil to break Venezuela is staggeringly ignorant. The Saudis don't give a damn about Venezuela - they care about Iran. The Saudis are and have been for a while, at war with Iran - literally for years in Syria and Yemen. They are using economic warfare as a part of their strategy; they are trying to bankrupt Iran. Saudi Arabia can afford the low oil price, Iran cannot, thanks in large part to US and other international sanctions.
