    There is no capitalism without corruption

    Democracy has not existed ever, it is a pseudo name for a facade of industrialists and bankers by controlling all media to pretend to allow people to choose “cheap” representatives. The US is so perverse it legalized corruption, called lobbying. Washington DC quadrupled in population in a couple of decades due to lobbying. They decide, you are just convinced your representatives decided.

    And it is only called democracy as long as there is 0% chance of capitalism being overthrown. 100% capitalist democracy with high percentage of tax-base going into anti-communism subversion and war.

    Either you are naive or you are a propaganda bot spilling doubt on a non-issue. If Maduro had given 90% control of oil extraction and sales to US oil companies he would have been granted the Nobel/Oscar price for democracy.

    Now that is corruption! Everywhere else but Venezuela

    • I get that you have anger issues or something, but I would really appreciate it if you stopped insulting me.

      Maybe it’s a non-issue for you, but it isn’t for me, it’s my country.

      Also the election system you have in the US isn’t the same there is in the rest of the world.

      I’m not even talking about the oil, because there’s issues beyond the ones that affect the US economy.

        The quantities of oil Venezuelans sleep on top is what makes oil an issue, not the US economy. The US economy is heavily developed and influenced by oil interests.

        You have anti-capitalist parties running in elections in Venezuela, do you know of one in the US?

        I didn’t know that being naive in politics is an insult, many people discussing politics are. But if you think there can be a capitalist government without corruption then “naive” is the mildest characteristic one can throw at you. Was Bolivar naive for turning against the Spanish imperialists?

        You said you are “from” Vz I never said a thing about the US as being associated with it. You can be Chilean and I can be from Nicaragua, and we would still be talking about the US when discussing politics.

        I can be from Vietnam and you would be from Eritrea, still the US is something we would discuss.
