Look, just because socialism is about seizing the means of production, and Venezuela seized the means of productions in most cases, doesn't make Venezuela socialist. Some of those means stayed outside of state control, which means Venezuela's actually state capitalism. Understand?
The mods banned /r/VZLA users which is the main Venusian sub. This is even more absurd than the banning the cartoon artist who added cat ears to a girl and the ban on words like "idiot".
Why would we want to hear anything about the experiences of people from Venezuela, though? What would they know?
I am a Socialist myself, and I am actually am pretty smart. Really, as cliche and arrogant as it may sound, I'd be as bold to say that almost all Socialists I've met are at least above average intelligence.
It's usually our enemies, the reactionaries, the Liberals, the bourgeoisie, the Fascists, those are often the most ignorant and backwards of humanity. If you're looking for actual examples since intelligence is a pretty broad term, I am an avid reader as well as writer. I have read a multitude of literature that most people have never even heard the title, much less actually read it cover to cover. I'm not strictly talking about the greats of Far Left ideology but general progressive thought as well. I am well versed in many Feminist, Anarchist, Gender theory, POC, secular, mythpunk, new scientific method, Frankfurt school, transhumanist classics past and present.
Not just that, but I am very well read in reactionary, Capitalist, and Fascist literature. I can read it, deconstruct it, and disprove it as easy as taking apart a car. I probably know more about whatever flavor of archaicness you hail from than you do, than most of my opponents would. I could recite a lot of books by heart at this point I've re-read them so often.
However, knowledge is only as good as the ability to apply it. I am not just a reader, but also a writer. I have written a number of articles and analyses that have appeared in both relatively mainstream and underground outlets. I have been to many conferences and meetings that are not open to just anyone. I'm not just book smart or word smart, I am also very street smart. I can handle myself in a fight, I've done so before against multiple opponents. I've attended many protests, demonstrations, and counter-protests against the Fash, I can bash. I'm the kind of person that can knock a horde of scum to the concrete and go home and strike powerful words into existence, or maybe I'll read a book that's in Latvian, oh yes, I can read Latvian.
So, basically, you're outmatched in any way I can think of, so if anyone's to be insulted here, it's you, pal. I wouldn't mess with us, I wouldn't say the stuff you're saying.
I'm not the only one, I'm just a piece of the puzzle, there are many like me, some of them even better than I am, they've been at this longer than I have. We make the establishment shiver and scream. Even better, we're multiplying, we're the light that people walk to in the dark. Fascism and oppression are rampant, we're the lighthouse in the fog, in the night. People are putting on the Budenovka, they're shaking off the chains, they're joining the fight.
We're the New Soviet Men and Women of tomorrow, so I'd like an apology right here and now. You may think we're not a threat, but you're dead wrong. So when we say to stop being an ableist, you better take a seat and listen.
So I can't fathom how some dumb Venzies could know better than me.

Did you know that the bathtub was first marketed in north america as a horse trough and dog scalder?

ohh my god they actually think Venezuela is a capitalist country.
n/a ironicshitpostr 2017-05-17
But it is. It's state capitalism. How is this not clear to you?
n/a TrailerParkBride 2017-05-17
State capitalism is basically just a tankie dog whistle for the "no true socialist" argument.

omg what is the origin of this

nice pasta
n/a praemittias 2017-05-17
For some reason this pasta made me want to get an auto filter that changes "Socialist" to "Socialite". It'd make the super left subs more fun to read.

Ahhhh neoliberals are the socialist's latest Boogeyman.

R/socialism - a cult in need of a serious Jonestown end.
