So a country that became overly dependent on one commodity, didn't diversify its economy, and let its infrastructure deteriorate is the poster child for the reason why socialism doesn't work?

HINT: My question is the answer.

Yes.

Before socialism , country was good
Implemented socialism country went to hell in a hand bag

I don't see what you don't get...the tenants of socialism don't work , unless people fully accept the idealogy and work towards a common goal (drones but in the 1984 sense) ....

Socialists like you and @storyteller can defend your socialist beliefs but can't show where they have ever worked . It's kind of hilarious

Wtf does this have to do with what you quoted me on, you tin foil hat Moron?

A new economic model based on the adoption of Artificial Intelligence/Deep Learning Neural Networkis on the horizon.

What are your solutions to this 4th industrial revolution ?

I support the Nordic Model which is literally working RIGHT NOW. Granted, most people would characterize me as a Social Democrat because of that, but I realize you struggle with nuance. Anyway, here's David Pakman offering a nice in depth explanation of Socialism, different iterations of Socialism and examples where it has worked. If you choose to characterize the Nordic Model policies I support as Socialism, that's fine by me but you can't simultaneously claim that they don't work. They're presently working in nations that top the Happiness Index every year.

The Nordic model is no where near socialist, it's a tweaked capitalistic model!! The government only spends in certain programs and let's the market have free will ...I dare say they may be more capitalistic than the US. Nice try tho, this is what you socialist like to point to but then ask for way more free stuff then even the Nordic countries and more government control. You can masque it under the term socialist Democrat but youre just being a stopping stone to socialism

Which of course your link touches on but doesn't call it what it is. Adding government controls to something doesn't make it socialist or democratic socialist

Then perhaps you should stop calling me a Socialist? Since that's the model I'm pointing to...and it works.

:mjlol: Come on breh, I like to bring up Social Democracy vs Socialism because I know you're too much of a clown to know the difference and will just talk out your ass. I'm good on dealing with you, waste of my damned time.

Naïve question : why is the whole world so preoccupied about Venezuela? There's bad leadership, poverty and people fleeing in tons of other countries.

Can't only be the oil right?

Soon you'll be back to reality and drop this crazy socialism fad you're into

Nah.

The Great Depression. The Great Recession. Constant war. Oppressive foreign policy. Recessive domestic policy. Capitalism doesn't work as well as you want us to believe. There's a lot of things in place to keep it afloat.

The world is moving to away from capitalism and more towards socialism. The Quantum-Automation Revolution is gonna force us there whether you like it or not.

Depends who you ask. So yes, oil. But there's also:
  • the foreign policy hawks that don't want substantial China/Russia influence here.
  • the Capitalists who want to expand into that country's markets.
  • Trumpset who need a distraction from the blunders of their President this past week.
