I don't know what I'd do in that situation, it's The Road level desperation. We'll hear about cannibalism next. So yeah, we're in agreement that this is indeed what socialism leads to, the complete breakdown of a society.
The People did allow themselves to be disarmed and did vote the clowns in. Chavez used the flush oil revenue to buy huge groups of people off and keep them happy. But socialists will argue that worked as Venezuela had a functioning economy though until 2013 when Chavez died. People did have jobs and distribution got food, gas, water, & electricity to them. It's after that when it fell apart under Maduro, he is absolutely incompetent. That's where the producers finally fled and the wheels fell off. The engineers & technicians that kept the oil industry running. Oil is at $70/barrel today yet look at the production there over the last few years vs. 6 years ago. What would happen if that reversed? Maduro would be a hero and likely voted in again -
