No Kennie, SOCIALISM caused the crisis in Venezuela.
According to Marx, Communism (socialism) will only work if you kill off 1/3 of your population (the capital holders...bourgeoisie).
Only then will the workers (the government) control the means of production.
It’s why Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot, Hitler and others, kill off so many folks. It’s part of the philosophy.
The people always vote for socialism.
Maybe they don't want this guy, in particular, but they would have voted for a different socialist.
This is a problem. A problem we don't even begin to have a solution for.
