Huh... OK. I guess that's valid. So... seriously, you just sit and yap and that's what we read?

and the price of oil going down is the liberal excuse for the problem with Venezuela, but it is the socialist policies of Hugo Chavez and his replacement who continues to take more and more of the public, businesses over for the government to own and control. That son of a bitch is trying to turn Venezuela into a dictatorship and the Venezuelan people are furious, but still too dumb to attribute their problems to leftist policies rather than just to him.
Here's the thing Steve... Chavez took control of the entire economy decades ago. So your propaganda needs to be updated (his regime isn't "taking over", it took over... 20 years ago.). Here's the other thing... for most of that time the people were fine and they loved Chavez AND the socialism that was totally working for them. It was working because it was being fed by massive oil revenue. Any system will work if you feed it enough. But something changed right after Chavez died. The price of oil dropped.
See, I can actually explain how a nation's economy that is 100% dependent on a single commodity can wind up like Venezuela. It's pretty easy to explain and when you see the price of oil drop to historic lows and then you see shortages of everything Venezuelans have to import because they don't have money to buy anything... because they can't make enough off their one thing... oil... THEN you see riots in Caracas... it all makes mathematical sense.
All you got is the same tire old argument... that socialism is bad. No explanation just a baseless opinion dictated into a microphone.
So... when you say I write too much, is that because you just don't want to waste time reading my responses to your yapping when you could be back on microphone yapping some more?

Mao did that in the Chinese revolution taking over the farms which resulted in millions upon millions of Chinese starving to death because of the sudden lack of efficiency in farming.
It wasn't a lack of efficiency in farming. It was a lack of efficiency in data transmission. The government agents were supposed to report the yields and the central government responded with quotas. The yields were often misreported and so the quotas were based on bad data.
A better leader could have succeeded without any of the starvation using the same system. I explained this in my previous post but I guess you didn't have time to read it. I'll put it in a bumper-sticker nutshell for you... It's not the system, it's the people.

The state never does anything as efficiently as people who go into whatever profession because that is what they are inclined and love to do.
LOL... OK, I'm going to start by agreeing that people tend to be most efficient doing things they are inclined and love to do. I just think it's funny that you seem to think government isn't something that people have an inclination and a passion for. You think police officers get on the government payroll for the money? You think teachers put up with bratty kids all day for the paycheck?
And let me tell you something about corporate business because I get the feeling I have WAY more experience with it that you do. The government can NOT hold a candle to the corruption and waste that goes on in corporate America. We just don't hear about it as much because corporate business is... private business.

So... are you actually yelling this into the microphone? Sorry, I can't get this image out of my head... just being as familiar as I am with your delusional bullshit and now realizing that you dictate all this into your microphone.
Ugh... I'm done. You're gonna rant about Democrats being useful idiots for communist masterminds. I'm not even a Democrat.
