This goes for any government or economy. It's not working now in the US government.

youre not saying anything about capitalism.

Its natural for economies to go through recessions and boom markets.

but again...the whole world being shut down has had a major effect...
...how are you ignoring that?

What type of system are you advocating for?

You’re debating a dude who spent years posting as if he was Hulk Hogan.
Seriously.

Heavy central planning is communism, not socialism.

Since Venezuela wasn't gonna depend on heavy foreign investment (and therefore, influence), they had no choice but to rely on oil. It was the only resource they had to build their society quickly.

Heavy central planning is also capitalism

But instead of the population having a say it happens in the board rooms of Walmart and Amazon and other conglomerates

Socialism requires central planning, but not all acts of central planning count as socialism...
That said, i think it was ill advised policies from central planners that did them in.
Whatever ism people want to attach to it is fine...
