It's down to that now. If you want to know anything factual, you have to dig it out of an avalanche of fluff, and decide for yourself if it's true, and objective. Napoleon said it, but I think it's been repeated many times, "History is written by the victors". Probably half of what we view as 'history' too, is 'feel good' news on the record. This started when someone very near the Vatican invented the printing press in the 16th (?) century. The pope knew how to read and play to, a crowd already after centuries of practice. State of the art propaganda dissemination systems of the time, were churches and their congregations. (and still are in places) The printing machine was truly 'manna from heaven'. They could formalize the message in Rome to maintain control of it's roll-out, and best of all, they had their people to read it at the other end, locked into non disclosure agreements from hell. The recipients for the most part were ignorant, and had to be told the message, they couldn't figure it out for themselves. Skip ahead to 2020 and Fat Donnie. And Fox News. It's a joke isn't it? I hope so.

I couldn’t agree more on Chomsky’s accuracy, but he seldom provides advice on remediation. What are we to do? Stop our USA imperialism? What country would consider relinquishing power? And many others, China, Russia, Iran, would step forward to fill the power- void. As you know, certain qualities of human nature have been transmitted for thousands of years; some good, some not! Human nature is a profoundly powerful force, not subject to change without the strongest discipline. The idea (in vogue) that nurture can somehow overcome the most base qualities of our natures is very questionable. Frank

In many ways that crisis was similar to the current one, however Venezuela's failure to control its public debt and inflation during its boom years really screwed it over as it has put itself at the mercy of the US who it has adversarial relations with while also relying on it as is its greatest trading partner and controller of the international financial system which is currently squeezing Venezuela in the middle of its crisis. Its interesting to compare Venezuela's policies with Bolivia which is also socialist and hydrocarbon based but managed to avoid crisis through having more fiscal prudence to manage debt and inflation during the 2000s oil boom.

*Yoel Romero* I agree. The word “untouched” is very much incorrect. But to imply that Venezuela was/is more socialist than capitalist is silly. The private sector is still massive. Regardless of whatever economic system Venezuela has now, the real problem stems from not adapting away from their colonial economy (as Chomsky said) and that the economy’s stability was essentially wholly based on the assumption that oil prices would rise for all eternity. The economy was unsustainable from the start in both a fiscal sense (capitalist) and a self-sufficiency sense (socialist). Chavez just road the boom, Maduro is now riding the bust (not to imply that the scumbag hasn’t worsened the bad situation immeasurably) EDIT: And state-ownership is widely considered by many socialists to be anti-socialist as the workers do not own the means of production.

Exactly! I love Chomsky..... Also Chavez said "When he was in Spain,he Used read Chomsky Books".... R.I.P Chavez Great Man. Thanks Always brother Chomsky...... long live

1:45 tbf for chavez he was having the end game goal of manipulating the economy to not be oil based but he needed to spend alot of money educating and improving his population ability to work in other fields while he had to deal with crap like coups.

@@israelporras8306 the shortages have nothing to do with whether or not Chavez actively tried to make the economy transtion to a non oil based economy which is what the posts i made are about. Also since you want to talk about shortages as Chomsky pointed out they are the result of an economy that was unable to successfully transistion from its old one and because Chavez refused to do something about the ruling corpate leaders in Vene. Not only that but Vene is short on specific foods and medicines not food or medicine in general. The situation now is better than say vene in the 80s or 90s where measures of health like malnorishment rates were measurably higher and were so bad that they were the reason Chavez was elected in the first place. Vene has had worse problems like this before because of similar reasons. It is a corporatist private economy no matter how you look at it. Chavez not ending that is why there is food and medicine shortages. The shortages that exist are the result of corporations refusing to sell products in Venezuela or problems like capital flight as a means to undermine the electorates wishes along with currency rigging/fixing. The shortages in Venezuela dont reflect it as a country that doesnt make or get enough food or medicines. its that some corporations refuse to provide services or goods as a way of upholding their own power

But over this time period the oil wealth was spent, production went from 3 mill BPD to 1 mil BPD . That had a bigger effect on revenue than the price of oil.

simple truth

Thank You Mr.Chomsky for your enlightening comments.

Thank you

Sure that's why people runs away from the country. The system was the error not the politic applying it...

Im sorry to tell you this guys... but I’m venezuelan and I know about politic and social situación in my country, I lived there for 32 years, and I tell you, Chavez and destroyed us, Castro’s family invade us and that comes from many years ago before Chavez, the elections were fraudulent all the time, the machines used to that were manipulated and years later recognised by one of the owners and founders of the company “Smarmatics”. If someone ask to me about USA I couldn’t tell you many things but those who everyone knows, but talking about my country...? There are many secrets we don’t know cause Venezuela it’s very rich at all in all senses and matters, that produces a war of power to control the region, but I tell you and believe me, Socialism and Comunism just KILLED US! We are 3.5 MM immigrants and counting, not because of a comercial block, because the government never has done its job and they’ve been stealing resources and money. I can tell you with my total experience that Chavez and Maduro just did what Castro’s Cartel wanted to make strong the Venezuelan Cartel, El “Cartel de los Soles” (The Sun’s Cartel - Military Cartel). If you have any question about it you can freely ask to me, I’ll be so glad to tell you the truth from a citizen who knows about Venezuelan politic since more than 20 years. I’m 44 YO, and I had to migrate 12 years ago when Vzla wasn’t as bad as now and I tell you... I could see the storm coming... just ask me... and I tell you about us and the governments we’ve had ... the Venezuelan problem it’s older than Chavez era... it started with the Democracy itself.

Socialism always has a problem with production. Incentives are a natural requirement full stop. The best systems will always be a mixture.

How about another interview with tim÷ for the details?

Definitely with Noam and not Bolton.

Veneuzela sits on one of the finest Natural resource bases on Earth, Oil, farm land, minerals, good weather. They appear unable to turn this into wealth. Its always someone elses fault for their inability to make use of this bounty. Despite evidence the path they are on is not beneficial, they keep trying harder doing the same things. In Nature this is known as maladaption. Until they change their operations mode no change in outcome should be expected... They are good at finding others to blame for their own incompetence in failing to adapt.

This always gets left out. One of the most fundamental elements to a stable (good neighbor) nation is its ability to feed itself. Regardless, taking a nation’s capacity to feed itself is usually one of the first pillars to be attacked by Left and Right governments. Be it by forceful dissapropriation of the Left or of Economic disappropriation of the right. Removal of dietary self sustainability is critical to subjecting the populace. Does hear really think that the US as a whole has the ability to feed itself independently of the corporate controlled organism of its conventional Agriculture. With Equal ease a siege can be waged against US in order to put the nation in line with the will of global decision makers.

Poorer people have access to subsidized open markets where food is affordable. It's the franchise grocery stores where the food is more expensive because a lot is sold on the black market to Colombia. BTW videos of people eating garbage are fake.

How is their popular support now?

Futurist ? Listening ?

This is bloody Gina's doing

EVERY COIN HAS TWO SIDES: I arrived in V. in 2000 when Chavez was beginning. I saw with my own eyes how, in such a rich country, many children were eating from the street garbage cans, during the day and at night. Some Caracas' sidewalks had holes that you cud fall in them and die or break a leg! The poverty belt around Caracas was huge (shacks). Chavez did begin to do very good things for these children and the poor: improving schools, new homes at lower prices, food & shelter for the street kids, etc. Chomsky is right in most of what he says. HOWEVER the other side of the coin is this: 1. he brought in Cuban advisors, and 2. went overboard in trying to help the small & poor Caribbean countries (Cuba, Haiti, Honduras, Jamaica, etc.) selling them oil at a preferential price, which was very good but, like Chomsky said, left no money reserves. If you have Cuban advisors and play with Communism, you're going to have problems with the US, and that is not wise. If he had maintained good relations with the US, he cud have transformed his country. The US is not as bad as they put it: Germany & Japan were allowed to develop big time! But you cannot turn against capitalism and expect them to like you or leave you alone. There is and was such a thing as a MIDDLE OF THE ROAD place, but he went to the extreme. He did make life impossible for those capitalists in V who were against him, and in this Chomsky is not correct. Free capitalism was not allowed in V. Only those who sided with the gov had rights and freedom to act. THIS is The Truth of what I saw, from 2000 to 2006. Personally I do believe Chavez was a communist, as opposed to Correa or Lula. Things sooner or later had to end the way they are now. Who do I blame? NOT THE US, NOT CHAVEZ OR MADURO BUT the irresponsible & selfish Vn upper class who never gave a damn about the growing poverty in their country and took all the oil money for themselves!

1:15 Failure to change the colonial economy (Oil based economy) 3:00 Not saving up in the time where oil prices were high, so were the profits led them to seeking funds in international credit market when oil prices dropped. 3:30 Sanctions are hurting Venezuela.

Chavez was popular because the price of oil was sky high, and he could afford all sorts of welfare benefits, but he never planned for the day when the price of oil declined.

Another attempt of socialism failed. This time Venezuelan style is recorded in the History of Socialism.

Chomsky is all theory, he cannot point to one multicultural area on the globe that matches his ideal country.

*FranktheTank70* Cool. What’s that got to do with the video?

I’m Venezuelan. To be honest, i find it ridiculous that Chomsky doesn’t mention how the chavistas created their own Congress to bypass the Congress controlled by the opposition (this was an extremely serious violation of our constitution and a direct attack against democracy) or how the chavistas have been giving weapons to their supporters or how they the chavistas stole all the money that was supposed to be invested in our electrical infrastructure. He always comes to the conclusion that the US is somehow responsible for all the bad things happening in the world when reality is much more complicated than that. Hugo Chavez and Nicolás Maduro mismanaged our resources and wasted all our money in corruption and gifts to foreign countries. Now we are left with no money. The electrical infrastructure cannot sustain itself and most people are leaving to Colombia and neighbouring countries.

To the youth of the world, stand up and step in because you're getting majorly FU$$ED.

ANd sorry but you don’t live there, is easy to talk outside of the system, the humanitarian crisis begins before the US sanctions, they stole all the food money since 2007, the Chavez, regime started all this without the Us intervention, and again you to live there to see the truth

Exactly Chavez educated the population so good that you can not go on the streets, day or night, without being robbed... Just what kind of education was that?

Does he understand the difference in oil prices now ('18-'19) and back when chavez was boss?
