Ya, if only they had socialized industry and that the means of production were in the hands of the workers... instead of being strictly state controlled and grossly mismanaged

I love how people like to point to Venezuela and be all like "Socialism results in this. No other factors need be considered. Socialism is 100% the cause of everything wrong there.".

For the record, I referred to it as long-term extreme socialism, indicating that I acknowledged the difference.

When you give the government power, it becomes very difficult to take it away from them. I'm not a Venezuelan historian, nor will I claim to be, but they might have trusted their government at one point with the power that they had only for it to become despicably corrupt several generations later.

If history has taught us anything, it's that governments will milk its citizens dry to the bone if they are allowed to do so.

Given Venezuela's history, any unrest is unsurprising.
