Socialism simply doesn’t work in practice.
"Venezuela, where a socialist regime once praised by The New York Times as both successful and sustainable is teetering on the brink of collapse while its leaders are dining at fine restaurants."https://fee.org/articles/some-are-more-equal-than-others-in-socialist-venezuela/ …

Joseph Stiglitz used to come to Argentina in 2001/03 to support the Kirchner's. Today Cristina has a several indictments and a slew of witnesses have detailed how they stole billions in bribes. Moving the physical cash paid by contractors in limousines!https://www.miamiherald.com/news/local/news-columns-blogs/andres-oppenheimer/article216342810.html …

There's nothing more dangerous than academics unconscious of their ignorance pretending they know a lot and primarily cultivating a cult of followers who just do whatever they say. Even worse when they become tools for corrupt circles who use them as theoretical justification.

Socialism itself is not the problem, greed & corruption is. What the world needs is a complete political & economic revolution that focuses on the best humanity has to offer, while trying to minimize pain & suffering for all.

Sadly no. Greed and corruption are always present, our natures are reactive. If you change the incentives you’ll change the people. All socialism does is speed up the process of corruption and breeds resentment alongside greed. Socialism will fail every time, runs out of money
-
Most systems fail when they run out of money.

How often has capitalism run out of money?

I'm sure US interference, sanctions and election meddling have absolutely nothing to do with the problems in Venezuela. It's all just scary socialism. You're smarter than to be this reductive Nick. There is a lot of nuance to what is happening in Venezuela.

Well thanks. Here's what that eloquence got me... a block. It's a shame, because I respect him in a number of ways. It's not like I was trolling him or anything. Oh well.pic.twitter.com/YlBX8yYrJ4

Fun fact: did you know that the definition of socialism varies between countries even in countries speaking the same language. The UK definition is different from the US. https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/socialism …

Call me paranoid but "once praised by The New York Times as" always sounds like a weasel phrase.
