Like anyone actually, truly cares about the safety of complete strangers half way around the world. It gives people a nice warm fuzzy feeling to pretend they do, but most people can't even be bothered to wait for a light to change before crossing the street, let alone expend real energy on a hopeless struggle for total strangers in an entirely different country. You're probably more excited you got a jab on Proudclad in than you are concerned about the situation as well.

But he's right. The reality is that most people will do just enough to appear kind, and nothing more. Nothing wrong with that, it's just how we are.

Venezuela isn't socialist, and there was never any revolution. You could even argue it's not socialist BECAUSE they skipped the whole revolution thing.

There is only one requirement for a country to be considered socialist. Just one. Are the means of production democratically owned? No? Then it's not socialism. Yes? Then it is socialism. I know this is hard for liberals like you to understand, but really?

Venezuela: Means of Production are only partially owned by the State, and the State is not democratic. It doesn't fit the definition. This is orange and apples. But then again, people like you elected the stupidest POTUS.

look. This is the definition of Socialism as per google.

a political and economic theory of social organization that advocates that the means of production, distribution, and exchange should be owned or regulated by the community as a whole.


So lets pick this apart for a moment.

1. Government regulations on business and ownership of production are not socialist, according to this, as that's not the community.
2. Literally nothing is regulated in Venezuela right now the whole fucking place is in famine and chaos.
3. Exchange is right out given that a tiny amount of people control 99% of the country's money.

Ergo, Venezuela is not socialist.

Are we done here?

Works for me. Every single time this comes up it should be emphasized that the state does not equal the community, especially if the state is not democratic.
