I’m not sure about Venezuela but Cuba saw an increase in crime rate once the Soviet Union collapsed and the blockade came into effect. They lost like 85% of their trade and wages shrunk, and the deprivation lead to more instances of crime, which also increased the incarceration rate.
In Venezuela that exact same thing happened, but not because of sanctions or blockades, but because of the oil prices crash and the inflation cause by “Money printing machine goes brrrrrrr”
Anyway, venezuela has always being corrupt and dangerous, just now it is more than ever before.
I mean, I’d tell him he’s a shit demsucc. The sort of top-down regime change that the Fifth Republic instituted is paternalistic and has no faith in the will of the masses. China, Cuba, and Vietnam had revolutions in which peasants and farmers were integral to the operation and governance of revolutionary territory, and the systems were designed around the interests of lifting the peasant class out of poverty through their own labor and self-governance.
Chavez idolized a liberal who conducted a bourgeois revolution. Being charitable with oil wealth did not make him or his movement socialist when his government still upholds liberal power structures. It’s evident in how the lack of marxist planning made the state vulnerable when oil exports tapered off.
which country is it?

Wasn’t the oil price crash manufactured by the US?

Exactly, its also Venezuela fault for depending so much on Oil, that we had almost nothing else to export when the oil prices crashed.
Lmao at “Venezuela is socialist”.
You wanna come here? I’ll meet you at the airport and take your to meet maduro, so you can tell him in his face that Venezuela is not socialist.
