#5: "Please, tell me, how can socialism screw this up?"

Well, for one thing, electricity delivery is sporadic with rolling blackouts. Some customers are going without electricity for days at a time.

Commies don’t get logistics and supply chain management.
They really don’t understand OM. In fact, the truth be known
they really have no idea how the real world works.

By not maintaining and repairing equipment. Same with their dam, they have most of their electricity coming from a hydroelectric plant on a huge fan, which they rarely maintain. Maybe this year they will lose oil production, electricity and water.

Why does everyone keep saying that they have the largest oil reserves in the world?


Is it safe to say they have the baggiest reserve of hard to get at, crappy oil?

And each has a cost. As society collapses, the costs go up as fuel and/or electricity becomes more expensive due to inflation. Eventually the funding provided to keep these basic services in place is not enough. Then the system begins to break down.

It’s why they stopped importing toilet paper - you don’t eat you don’t need TP.

Got a supplier for halazone or do you make your own? Point is that even those tablets cost. Even boiling water costs (fuel and time).

Maybe President Trump can make the liberal’s heads explode by offering to the citizens of Venezuela that if they over throw their government, the US will step in, make them a Territory and start running things.

Even without a Second Amendment, why have these people not overthrown their government?

The people who voted for Chavez and Maduro deserve what they get. They are criminal co-conspirators.

But people who did not vote for them at all, and voted against them, are victims for whom I have deep sympathy.

Sounds like the old joke, if Saudi Arabia did socialism they would soon run out of sand.

The Cubans control their military.

Anybody capable of setting up an overthrow has left the country.

Our CIA is controlled by communists

That’s (3) reasons, for starters.

If they could control it, socialists would find a way to screw up air.

No food. No water. No toilet paper.

Without the first two items, the third is not necessary.
