Conservatives often point to Venezuela as proof that socialism doesn't work. In so doing, they ignore all the examples of successfully implemented socialist policies (particularly regarding healthcare) in other, more successful countries. By highlighting Haiti, a capitalist country screwed over by other capitalist countries, one demonstrates how flawed an argument predicated on cherrypicked examples is.
That broadly makes sense. I was simply confused because arguing against capitalism is not necessarily arguing as a counter to antisocialist arguments.
