SOCIALISM: THEY’RE JUST DOING IT WRONG. AGAIN. Venezuelan apocalypse: Some updates on the epic failure of socialism in oil-rich Venezuela. “Despite having more oil reserves than Saudi Arabia, and in fact more proven oil reserves than any country in the world (8 times more than the US), oil-rich Venezuela’s economy is imploding and collapsing under the burden of socialism, and economic conditions there have deteriorated so dramatically that they probably now qualify as the ‘economic apocalypse’ that some left-leaning economists were predicting just a few years ago would never happen in Venezuela.”

No country is so rich that a bad enough political class can’t ruin it. A lesson Americans should take to heart.
