I fail to see what anything to do with Venezuela has any importance compared to other world events. Why is this even a Thread on FR?
It’s a thread because:
1. Venezuela is a show case of what happens in command-control economies, i.e., socialism as it devolves
2. It is a major player in the oil market and OPEC member
3. The article concerns politics, a staple here, and is one of a long-running history of such articles here detailing for anyone who wishes to look what happens when socialism/communism overtakes a country
4. Venezuelans (the female ones) are the cutest on the planet.
Coverage and exposure of totalitarian regimes shouldn’t be of interest to us ? Whut ?
