A Typical Goon posted:Millions of people aren't starving to death in Venezuela and it was a literal by definition coup attempt. You're an idiot The crisis in Venezuela went critical years before anything that resembled a coup attempt because oil prices took a dive. You can maybe argue that happened mostly as a geopolitical attack on Russia but Venezuela was an incidental thing, not the primary target. How did this forum get so full of tankies?

For an economy that is entirely based on the price of oil, I guess I can see how you're all happy that it has completely collapsed due to the benevolence of nicholas maduro. edit: I forgot this gem. quote:VANEK SMITH: The inevitable result of this has been that Venezuelans are losing a lot of weight. A survey from three universities in Venezuela found that the average Venezuelan lost 24 pounds last year because they could not afford to eat. And hundreds of thousands of children are at risk of dying from starvation and malnutrition.

you joke, but Venezuela's number two problem after the thieving kleptocrats that intentionally damned the country is an utter failure to diversify and reinvest their oil money, just like Alberta.

incontinence 100 posted:https://www.npr.org/templates/transcript/transcript.php?storyId=621563128 I'm not going to go to bat for Maduro or the government of Venezuela, especially not in this of all threads, but it's worth noting that the guy being interviewed here as an authority on the Venezuelan economy was a member of the austerity-imposing IMF-backed governments of Venezuela in the 80s and 90s, whose policies led to the mass social unrest that Chavez was a response to, and was also part of the recent coup attempt against Maduro, so I wouldn't really treat him as an unbiased source of impartial information about whether or not Maduro is doing a good job as president.

Honestly it’s so generic I’m sure it’s been used in dozens of campaigns regardless of party; it’s political pablum. I just think it’s funny because who are they kidding? How many people who’d consider voting Greens would be worried about where they fell on the political spectrum?

Not right. Forward together. NDP: In it for you PPC: Strong and free. Marxist-Leninist: Humanize the natural and social environment! Communist: People and Nature before Profit!

Does anyone point out that that implies they don't want anything to change, to keep going on the way we are now? Seems kind of a dumb saying, especially if you aren't the incumbent.
