But that's not real socialism because it failed.

No humanitarian efforts by the U.S. because this is exactly what they want to happen so the people will overthrow the government. Remember when the Hamas political party was democratically-elected by Palestinians over the corrupt Fatah party that served Israel? The U.S. froze the Palestinian Authority's assets hoping that the people would starve and force out the Hamas government. Our government is sick. They love playing these sadistic games with people's lives.

Wrong. A Venezuelan government official just spoke at an international council of South American countries and said that there is not a food crisis and in fact are sending food to at least three other countries bigger than them. The problem is arrogance and refusal to admit that socialism has failed. Pull your head out of your ass, the US has no obligation to help anyone, let alone a socialist paradise run by a dictator.

The short answer is that this is the inevitable outcome of socialism.

Socialists have turned the most resource rich south american country into a post apocalypse parody. O wait, I forgot, this didn't work because they didn't do it right/ the right people were not in charge / the US had it out for them / Patriarchy / CIA / Aliens. Did I miss any?

Basically, Venuzuela relied on oil money as the source of funding for government programs. Now that oil is super cheap, they are fucked.

I always found it interesting how immigrants from communist China would find it amazing that there would be animals running everywhere. They always mentioned how anything that moved in China would have been eaten.
