I’m at work, I can’t listen to a pod cast.

I’ll ask the Venezuelan girl in the office again what her thoughts are.

She absolutely despises the hard left of economic politics, a 5 minute sit down with her is eye opening.

Ask anyone who's escaped from Venezuela...

 

[Ban-jani]

Ask anyone who's escaped from Venezuela...

Yep.

She’s a very reasonable person and someone I’ve worked with closely, the woman I’m talking about, I don’t even think she’s that politically interested, or wouldn’t be if she didn’t have to have fled a failed state.

She absolutely despises the hard left with a burning passion and says it’s ruined her country.

Is Jacob modelling himself on Neville Chamberlain? Just a wing collar, a bit of grey at the temples, a wee quiff, and he's a dead ringer!

This delusion always rears whenever socialism reaches its inevitable conclusion, and yes, I've watched the documentary.
Venezuela is totally screwed because of what Chavez and his successor implemented, the documentary also confirms it,
Chavez is seen pointing to various independent businesses, and blithely instructing his minions to 'Expropriate'
them. Taking control over all oil production and businesses, then handing them over to placemen who haven't a clue about industry, who
inevitably send it into penury was socialism in its purest, and most destructive form. See Zimbabwe, Cuba, in fact anywhere it's
been implemented, how anyone other than naive kids can defend this philosophy after seeing the same dreary outcomes
time and again, is beyond reason.
Then, another inevitability about the process invariably surfaces as mitigation, 'The Yanks are responsible.'

And in this form of socialism the geezers at the top make fuckin' sure they are immune from the worst aspects of their incompetence.
