How was Greece undermined by the US, Britain, or France specifically? Also, how was Venezuela undermined by those countries? Even if you do want to blame those other countries, if socialism is so great then why can't its adherents ever overcome the influence of less socialist nations, hmmmm?

Good. So socialism itself was at least partially responsible. It's almost as if giving people things regardless of the work they do is counterproductive. It's almost as if governments can't be trusted to redistribute wealth or have centrally planned economies.

An economist isn't an authority on economics? Okay, thanks for telling me that...
