Maduro armed the poor, so as to ensure that subsidies/benefits could not be cut without triggering violence.
This ensures that the place will keep spiraling down until there is nothing left. At that point, the poor will riot, but it will do no good. I don’t think there is a viable solution — the good years have resulted in breeding more poor than the country can now support. When things fall apart, they will all be heading here.

The oil price collapse didn’t help this situation either. Most of the Chavez social programs were supported by oil revenue.

Witnessing a ‘Complete Collapse of Society’ in Venezuela
This is, of course, exactly what the left wants to happen here. Then they will restructure the USA in their wet dream of a Marxist society.

Current President Nicholas Carudo is the worst President in years, even more autocratic than Hugo Chavez ever was. On top of everything else, Venezuela has endured a drought, the worst in years. Things are so bad, most animals in the Caracas zoo have starved. No one has ever seen anything like this. This could become a massive humanitarian crisis.
There are a lot of good people who opposed both Chavez and Carudo who are caught in this and they deserve our sympathy.

Danny Glover could buy them quite a lot of medicine if he
would give back the 20 million dollars he stole from
Venezuela for the movie he was paid for and never delivered.

Looking at those two in the picture, the word that comes to my mind is where pork comes from. Both Communist pigs.

“I think the Bolivarian revolution is a lost opportunity for Latin America to change things that needed to be changed. It’s so sad to see how a true feeling of a society has failed so much. And it shows how dangerous populism can be.”
