Just spent some time on Venezuelan twitter feeds. The Chavistas are saying things like the food businessmen have their official warehouses empty, but have others in plain sight that are full. They are against the revolution. It’s capitalism’s fault.
I remember when Chile had a communist president, the people couldn’t find bread for their families. The government insisted that it was a conspiracy by the right with all the bread makers to halt production. The faithful simply cannot believe that people cannot produce a product at a loss and continue to produce. It’s all a conspiracy to blackmail the socialist revolution. /Bern
Oops, I wasn’t in Chile in 1973. I remember people telling me about it when I moved there in the early ‘90’s. Just in case my cred is investigated.
