the shortages are a typical result of US intervention and sanctions...it has little to do with communism or socialism...they are not perfect systems, far from it, but give me the power the USA has and I will reduce any democratic country to a starving shit hole and claim "there look at democracy failing!"

you are wrong, and I am telling you this not to troll but because its the truth...this book is pretty much spot on, I do not expect you to read it, but if you want a good read this is the way to go:
Ya, you're right. I forgot about the US invasion of Venezuela. All of those bombs they've been dropping on that poor country and all of the sanctions they've imposed. How is a bus driver supposed to create a people's socialist utopia under those conditions?

Meanwhile, back in reality - a centrally planned socialist economy fails again. Period.

It must be very relaxing to get up every day and be so intellectually lazy to the point that you can find any ill in the world and blame it on the US.
