I thought this article was a fair and balanced look at the issues that Venezuela faces, and puts them into an understandable context. Surprise surprise, it's a tad more nuanced than the 'socialism bad' mantra some are peddling. Granted it's a year old but it's worth a read.

Also, for those who think that the US intervenes in other countries for altruism rather than imperialism, I can't get bored of posting this article.

It's always, always, always been about natural resources. I don't get why people think this time is any different. Bizarre.


I quite enjoyed that Venezuela article. At the heart of all political systems lie two things,power and corruption.

Just noticed your post now. The vast majority of production is privately owned, so you are not correct there. The oil industry hasn't collapsed but world oil prices have affected it badly. It's not socialism that's to blame but the private sector


The corrupt socialist Government Nationalised the oil industry and who knows where all the oil riches have disappeared to. Even with lower oil prices as one of the World's biggest oil producers there should be sufficient revenue coming in to afford food imports to feed the population. How is it people can see the problem is the ruling party. Creating a new socialist assembly to overrule the current parliament, arresting or killing opposition leaders and party works. Jailing Judges who rule their actions illegal. It is looking more like a good old Soviet Stalinist regime by the day.

A lot of the revenue went into education and health care. Venezuela has one of the largest student populations of anywhere in the world, for it's population, and many poor were taken out of poverty and actually managed to have 3 proper meals a day. The food shortages are being caused byte private sector hoarding as they produce 70% of the food

No point in hoarding food it goes off. Venezuela has always imported food but can no longer generate enough foreign exchange or borrow any money as it is bankrupt due to it's socialist policies and hyper inflation which has plunged millions into poverty.

Bit unfair Warwick. I've been in work since I was 16 and that includes when I was doing A levels and during uni. While my current job isn't physically demanding it is still hard work and I enjoy unwinding after coming home from work.

Part of that unwinding has involved going to Glastonbury. I've been twice and they were phenomenal experiences. I'd recommend anyone of any age to go at least once. As they say, don't knock it till you've tried it!

When you have a big, fat cock there is a danger of the wrapper splitting. Anyone with a hefty member would know this of course.

I didn't vote for Jeremy in either election but I must confess I've let a few semi-ironic "Oh Jeremy Corbyn" chants slip in my drunken state since the election.

How was backstage? I was very much slumming it up with the yuppies on Pennard Hill.
