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.
Re: Venezuela on the path of recovery?
Wow, they're fast.
Fedecamaras (the organisation of large, Venezuelan industries and corporations) already called for a "reconsideration" of the workers' chart of rights. Not surprising, but matching with the increase in the assassination of union leaders before the elections.
But yeah, let's all whine about the political prisoner, Leopoldo Lopez with the sexy shaven face. Muh revolution!

Many African countries, China and India have all seen standards of living rise among the poorest from liberalization of markets. At a certain point you need to stop blaming capitalism and accept that your country is so fucking corrupt that neither left nor right wing economics work.
