Reply to comment by Newish_Username in Belarus Leader Bans Price Rises to Tackle Inflation by AlxIp

What happened in Venezuela had very little to do with the socialist nature of their economy and much more to do with extremely poor economic decisions by those in power.

It's like those people making poor decision don't learn from people making the exact same poor decisions thinking it will work for them when it didn't work for those..

They ate them. The arguments in favor of socialism are therefore invalid.

People are dense on these forums, I tell you.

The irony of calling others "dense" while simultaneously misunderstanding the point of my comment is fucking top-tier. You are awful at forming strawman arguments.

Just because I disagree doesn't mean I misunderstood. When you're older and wiser, you'll understand that.

Imagine disagreeing with a point that you very clearly did not understand. My point wasn't "socialism good", it was the indisputable fact that Venezuela's situation was caused by massive political mismanagement. It had nothing to do with their system of governance. Put the same people in the same positions in a capitalist or any other variation economy, and the same things happen. By the way, animals being eaten because of the crisis caused by said mismanagement is by far the most absolutely asinine argument you could possibly try to use against socialism, regardless if "socialism good" is my stance or not.

Maybe you'll understand that when you stop correlating age with comparative political and economic understanding.
