Venezuela on the path of recovery?

[Strike For The South]

Lolz.... From an American this is hilarious.

Do you have anything to add, other than your outdated 80s communist talking points? I realize "Manufacturing Consent" and Benedict Anderson were eye opening as footballer trying to fit in with the cool kids at uni during the height of Thatcherism but we have moved on.

Even if we were able to lay the entirety of South Americas problems at Yanquis feet, an argument for which there is a mountain of evidence for, you would still have to explain everywhere that ever tried to implement these far left policies. There is a reason people from Poland are emigrating to the UK. It's all about the blue jeans.

Sure, this relentless drive for material production will probably doom us a species, causing War, Famine, and Pestilence. But we aren't there yet and quite frankly that's another thread.

I'm putting the kettle on, tuning the station to radio 4, and cracking the Times, if you need me.
