You have just tried to rewrite history here my friend and I just want to clarify the facts. I was dating a Venezulan chica on and off when all this was going on. She eventually went back to her family in Caracas but we kept in touch for years and she was telling about what was happening as it happen.
Fact: The reason that the Venezualen economy collapsed was because Hugo Chavez put "price controls" in place and merchants could no longer charge enough for their products to get what they needed to resupply with imports. Because price controls are a fantasy. All this happened at least 5 years before the US put any sanctions on them meanwhile the governement officals all live like oligarchs in Venezuela.

We did a bunch of noble shit in Chile too, assassinating their freely elected president. The Yew Ess is really a godsend to so may places, like Vietnam. Just so very noble, all that happened there.

The USA has been a "Godsend" to the people of Latin America. The hard working, ambitious, innovative, highly educated, industrialized, and noble citizens of the USA have brought massive amounts of wealth, industry, political ideology, technology, and infrastructure to Latin America. After spending a great deal of time traveling to Latin America, I feel like Americans are the modern day slaves. Many Americans, especially white males, put their careers first and foremost before anything. This comes at a sacrifice in many other areas of life, such as a social and family life. To many American white males, to not succeed is unacceptable and anything less is an unforgivable sin. This is why white American males by far have the highest suicide rates. We place a very high value on our self worth in our ability to truly dedicate ourselves to a craft or a skill or in modern day terms a "career". This unselfish dedication is what has contributed most to building western society into the greatest most advanced civilization the world has ever known. I hope Latin America likes airplanes, nuclear power, automobiles, antibiotics, and democracy- because they all came from a group of people who most contributed to the success of the USA and this excess wealth and technology, has for generations spilled over into Latin America and even allowed many people from Latin America to come seek employment opportunities in the USA. I sometimes wonder what it would have been like to grow up in Colombia and just roam the streets, hang out with my friend, sell drugs, and bang smoking hot women for the first 25 or 30 years of my life like many Colombian men. It doesn't sound like a bad time at all. Sometimes I feel like Americans are the fools. Many Americans spend their youth staying up all night studying in school, training in competitive athletics to bring pride to your family and community, showing up to work on time no matter how sick or tired.
To me, when people state things like, "Colombia is a vassal state to the USA", it just comes off as really ungrateful be. S. And an excuse as to why maybe their country is not as wealthy as the USA. Wealth isn't everything, but if you don't put the work in you will not a nation of home owners, suv drivers, full pensiones, and healthcare with the best doctors in the world.
Hehehe In case you are wondering, I don't really believe all the be. S. I just wrote and I did write it to annoy all the liberals out there. Don't snap back at me too hard, but it is always a good idea to try to look at things from all perspectives.

Great speech by the president of Bolivia, about the growing popularity and power of political parties for the people in Latin America.
He calls for a shared homeland in South America. Hopefully Colombia will soon stop being the outtcast vassal state of the USA and join withtheir brothers and sisters to present a united front against oligarchy and exploitation of the people.

Posts: 1823The universe is almost binary
Did you know that almost 98% of the universe is hydrogen and helium?
So the other 2%, the minority elements are what give life and diversity to our universe. If there were no minorities, our world would be very boring and mundane indeed. Just leaving that one out there.

"The same problems faced by Venezuelans and Cubans are they better off? Not by a long shot. Better for mongers? No, not at all. Take a look at the Cuban women getting arrested on the Malecon for just talking to a gringo. Better for mongers? I don't think so, how many of us are traveling to Caracas to monger in this great Socialist environment?
The reason these 2 struggle is due to the US embargo agsint both countries. Nothing to do with socialism and everything to do with the client vassel state stadning up against the mafia boss.
Do Cubans work in sex under socialism? Of course they do! What evidence does he have that it was better for mongers before Castro? None.
And Vnzlns too. Millions of them forced in to prostitution by the immoral embargo on Vznla by the capitalist bully. A fantastic bonanza for mongers.
So quite frankly, he is talking bollox. Its just a Gish Gallop against and an illogical attack on socialism without any substance.

Keeping it about Colombia. Many Colombians have a very difficult life, working for slave wages, the dangers they are exposed to everyday on the bus / transmilenio in an effort just to get home from work is very sad, spending 6/7000 pesos on transport a day, just to get to a job that pays 30,000 some odd pesos a day, and the socialist have no answer to this, instead they burn down the only sysem the people have to get to and from work. It took my novia and her family 5 and 6 hours just to get home because of the protests and riots a while back. The same problems faced by Venezuelans and Cubans are they better off? Not by a long shot. Better for mongers? No, not at all. Take a look at the Cuban women getting arrested on the Malecon for just talking to a gringo. Better for mongers? I don't think so, how many of us are traveling to Caracas to monger in this great Socialist environment? I'm not sure what the answer is but to totally tear down the system, try Socialism again in light of every socialism disaster? I don't think so. One thing I know is necessary. Stop making the working class the victem of all the crime, everyone of my novias family have had thier phones stolen again and again, her father was shot in the head by robbers a block from his house on the way to the tienda, and spent over a month in a coma. The Socialist only interest is in over throwing the current party in charge and getting power to continue exploiting the working class. Unfortunately the current party in charge or whoever gets in charge will have very little incentive to keep any of the bullshit promise they make. It's about power for whoever gets in and power corrupts.
On another note, I had to cancel my flight to Bogota because of the massive flight cancellations and the ridiculous Prices. My direct flight from Atl to Bog was once 400 range is now over a thousand, I'm sure that is a deterrent for my budget minded brothers on this site. Be safe.
