Why did Soviet Russia have breadlines?
And why does Venezuela have shortages of basic goods? Clearly 'a fall in the price of oil' can't be the cause because that's hurt lots of countries, not just Venezuela. And shortages came before that as well

Why is food security higher in Venezuela now, in the teeth of this crisis, than it was before Chavez came to power?

USSR had breadlines because people in Soviet Russia needed bread.
A better question would be why does America not have breadlines when 1/5th of the children in the US are food insecure.

Russia had breadlines after Gorbachev fucked the economy up for good. There was no such thing as "breadlines" before, except for famines maybe.

Wrong picture.

Probably because the needs of the poor were just ignored before. The average per capita income increased under Chevez as did life expectancy.
Not even a fan of Chavez just hate porky bootlickers that cherry pick everything

Yet there's still people dying from hunger on capitalist countries. How bizarre

Breadlines and empty shops only became a thing in the late soviet union when Gorby liberalised the economy with his market reforms and restructuring leading to huge food shortages because market capitalism a shit.
Also Venezuela is wholly capitalist and has a hugely undiversified economy which is further sabotaged by the US and the venezuelan porkies. Of course oil prices falling hurt them.
