all this in a country that once had one of the highest living standards in South America

Chavez was crazy like a fox, but Maduro just seems crazy. Theres something seriously wrong with your economy if your citizens are lining up at the border to buy basic supplies from stores in neighboring economic powerhouse Colombia

nah, the people at the top are corrupt and have basically been running the country as a gigantic foreign exchange scam for years. i don't think most of them give a poo poo about ideology, they just want to loot the country and live like royalty.

Case in point, I remember for like a year plus after Chavez died, his daughters refused to move from the presidential palace to let Maduro move in. they apparently threw wild parties constantly oh and also they are somehow rich as gently caress. from totally legitimate means, no doubt.

victory to the proletariat
