don't base your economy on the export of a single commodity
What failure? Maduro is still in power. If you're talking about the financial crisis, yeah… Social-democratic economies always have that, from time to time.
don't half-arse it
if you're going socialist, seize all the means of production, not some
leave any sector of the economy in private hands, any whatsoever, and they will fuck it up
Porkies are willing to sabotage their own economy on purpose
This. Also, be a real democracy, none of this Chavez despotist shit
Are you joking m8? They put all their eggs in one basket.
That you should hand over the means of production to the workers.
fuck off CIA shill
That we shouldn't intentionally tank an entire economy just because they are trying something new. They weren't as socialist as I would have liked them to be, but this isn't on them.

They could learn that Communism of any kind doesn't work and it never will.
But they won't.
Probably the most important lesson of all.

Retard, this shit started when Maduro took power. The oil thing just sped the process up, it didn't start anything.

how did this happen
Fool. Venezuela's "socialism" (social democracy) is meant to be an improvement of capitalism. OP is evidently an anarchist by flag and does not care whether he is in power. He is asking what we can learn by Venezuela being shitty.
What can we learn? this.
that petro-populism has nothing to do with socialism?
Yep, that's basically all Venezuela was and is. Good read on this in PDF related.
Leftcombro once again the only nigga talking some sense in a thread.
Venezuela had plenty of reggaeton.
Thank you for this based lefcom.
