What is a true failure is that the Right wing pro capitalist countries let Foreign Capitalists rape their resources to the point that the poor in Venezuela get pissed off enough to put in a Chavez figure and go for socialism because the Capitalism was SO BAD they could not take it any more. Then the pro Capitalists do all they can to DESTROY the socialism that is in its early stages and then blame socialism for failing. Meanwhile socialism doesn't fail in nations like Sweden, France and so on because if anyone decides to do away with free socialized medicine and excellent public education---they get run out of office.
What the stupid Capitalists want is socialism and protection for their own group and raw hide no services or help for the working class and poor in the world. Then when the poor can't take the rawhide capitalism anymore they get a popularly elected leader like Hugo Chavez was in Venezuela and then they (the upper crust pro capitalist elitists in Venezuela) go and try to kill or jail Chavez and his group. When that fails? They destroy the economy...because if they can't win by ballot the will of the people they will try their best to disinvest and destroy the socialist group. And then corruption and chaos....and say....."Oh see it is socialism. Not us that caused the crisis. We just believe in getting all the profits and allowing poverty and illiteracy and lack of services and rights to exist for a long long time under capitalism and deny socialism any foothold in nations in which oil, gas, natural resources might be under the control of non capitalists.
Who ran Venezuela before Chavez boys? You two posters? Do you know who they were and their 'political' affiliations? Or is the FAILURE just for Socialists? Lol. That is like saying Fulgencio Batista was great before Fidel Castro took over in Cuba. Who was Batista? They are CAPITALISTIC Right wing dictators with corruption galore. But the socialist populists are the target of your wrath. Why?
