I know venezuelans. What they recount about the country is bonkers.
A person can build a small business from scratch. If someone rats on them or the business simply becomes noteworthy, get ready to have it seized by some high rank military or politian.
A person can have a house, they decide to rent a room to help ends meet. If they rent to someone that loses their job or with kids, they can deny paying rent and take the house from you.
There is little to no rule of law. Forget about courts. Schools are indoctrination camps: children will be requested to do assignments of manifestations, pro-government, that happened the day before; who cares about a formal curriculum? Corruption is rife, on all levels. Everyone has a state pension… 4 dollars worth. You can’t buy anything with it.
Venezuela is not left wing: it’s a cleptocratic authoritarian state, thinly veiled behind socialist rethoric.
