Venezuela Turns to Privatization After Being Bankrupted by Socialism

 Via Billy

 

After much pain and suffering, Venezuelan socialist leaders have conceded they cannot effectively run an economy.

 Early in 2007, after winning a second six-year term as president, Hugo Chávez announced his plan to nationalize Venezuela’s largest telecommunications company, CANTV, hinting at wider nationalization plans to come.

“All that was privatized, let it be nationalized,” announced Chávez, who had run under the banner of democratic socialism.

Nearly a decade and a half later, on the brink of mass famine and a growing energy crisis, Venezuela is now moving in the opposite direction.

  1. Socialism is the economic theory of theft. Once you have stolen everything there is to take, you are done. They are incapable of building or creating.

  2. No rule of law means no privatization...it will just be stolen.
