Why Is Venezuela in Crisis?

Second, while Venezuela has moved away from free-market capitalism, its economy is hardly socialist. The private sector, not the state (and still less the social economy), controls the overwhelming majority of economic activity. Between 1999 and 2011, the private sector’s share of economic activity increased, from 65 percent to 71 percent.

I work for a bank and have clients in Venezuela. Trust me, the government has its hands all through the private sector.

There is zero chance of a military intervention it’s empty bluster.

Curious what lefty politicians think of Venezuela aside from the What About Saudi Arabia deflection :mjgrin:? Reminds me of when Israel defenders ask what about the other human rights violators in the region.

Haven’t seen any statements from any progressives CPC members outside of Khanna and Ilhan.

A military intervention would be a shid show. Chavez made sure the military was full of Chavistas. If there was a coup, the counter coup would be vicious.

The plan is for Guaido to get access to Venezuela’s assets that are US based that are frozen by sanctions.
