Interestingly, the hardcore socialists/communists are construing Venezuela as a _capitalist_ country, and proof of what’s wrong therewith.

Yeah, took me a bit to realize that fact while arguing with one in particular.
Kinda makes sense insofar as they’re so devoted to The Revolution that anything proving it’s evil must be wrong, and imputed to Evil Capitalists (the designated opposition): since the means of production are owned by ... someone ... then that must be capitalists and the workers are being exploited thereby, and should rise up and seize accordingly. They just can’t/won’t accept that it’s the _state_, empowered by a majority wanting free stuff, that took over everything and ran out of profits to redistribute.
