Diosdado Cabello, the former speaker of parliament and a key figure in Venezuela’s ruling party, placed ultimate blame for the ham shortage at the feet of the "gringo" US government.
“And why didn’t the ham arrive? Because of the blockage against us. The Portuguese made an agreement, then they were frightened by the gringos and they didn’t send the hams.”
Are you fucking retarded? Slave trade existed before the USA was even a country. Look up where the trading of slaves across multiple continents originated from.
How bout you tell me which country Jim Crow laws originated in, which country the KKK originated in, which country Reverend Martin Luther King and Malcolm X were murdered in, which country went to war over States' rights to uphold slavery?
I get that y'all are basically Spaniards so you can't possibly have too tight a grasp on a skill as challenging as reading but this is just too much.
What could have possibly caused the shortages? It is a mystery.
But on Thursday a statement by food company Raporal appeared to clarify the crux of the dispute, explaining that it and other Portuguese exporters had yet to be paid in full for last year’s consignment of meat products shipped to Venezuela.
for some reason poor uneducated people trying for a communist utopia when they have shit all capital keeps failing!! marx never told me about this! (he totally did)
you do realize the entire reason all this is happening is because of oil prices dropping right? saying "the oil now belongs to the people'' the oil is still in the ground you cant distribute that capital except through a very slow process of extracting it and selling it.
you do realize the entire reason all this is happening is because of oil prices dropping right?
The venezualans basically went "hey the nordic countries are socialist lite with their oil we can do it too!" except they have no skilled labor force and actual industry to cushion their economy for when the oil doesnt sell as well so all this shit happens.
So what you're saying is that the entire reason for this happening is not at all dropping oil prices, but communist mismanagement. Glad you corrected yourself, makes my job much easier that way.
Maybe one day the third world will learn when marx says accrue capital before trying for a post scarcity communist society it means dont have most of your people basically living in fucking slums and try for it.
So basically communism can only succeed when capitalism builds a solid, advanced, prosperous economy and then the commies inherit it with a bow on top? lol

Do you realize how retarded and child-like that is? it's literally how children think the world ought to work: daddy builds things for them and then they get to use them and take credit. Dressing that in pseudo-academic jargon doesn't make it better, it makes it even more cringeworthy because it's adults doing it.
wow you so burned that long dead economist better hold a seance with a oougi board so you can do it directly.
Truely you have cracked the code mate next time someone is asking for distribution of wealth tell them they shouldnt do it because its cringey and real men pull themselves up by their bootstraps will go down super well.
A political and economic theory of social organization that advocates that the means of production, distribution, and exchange should be owned or regulated by the community as a whole.
Which nordic country wants the workers to own the means of production exactly?
Someone in the EU farm aid support bureau fucked up and forgot to move a form to the right bin before going on vacation. This just leaves an opening for American farm exports, which are not embargoed and with government farm export credits are basically free to the recipient. We don't ever sanction food exports, to anybody, Iran gets American grain no problem. Tha US farmers are happy, the people in the countries are fed (and now dependent on food aid). The umpteen billion in price supports gets added to the federal deficit.

I am offended that the commie doesn't call the Portuguese gringos too.
1 fayeDragon 2017-12-31
I mean if Portuguese are gringos then why are Brazilians black?
1 CirqueDuFuder 2017-12-31
Because Portuguese people invented the world wide slave trade.
1 fayeDragon 2017-12-31
Americans invented that or did you forget Jim Crow?

Oh God, are you a real person? You can't be this stupid.

Fact: white people invented slavery
Fact: Portuguese aren't white
Wanna guess what these two facts add up to?

It's both. Venezuela was actually being touted as a successful example of socialism by plenty of nu-leftist academics before the oil price crash.
